First of all, welcome to PC You've definitely found the right place where people will understand what you're going through!

I'm sorry to hear about how anxious you've been lately... it's funny what you described about your being in class, and then having to leave. That exact same thing happened to me yesterday! (for the first time!) - although, you managed to stay there a whole hour longer than me, so you should be patting yourself on the back! And hour and 15 is a long time to be in a classroom when you're feeling especially anxious! I too felt like I had "wimped out" ... but, you (and I) really didn't. We just did what we had to in that moment. The good thing about University (or college) is, that no one really care whether or not you leave in the middle, there are people coming and going the whole class!

I'm really glad that you have your mom and your Aunt to lean on and have as a support. That is SO good. If it is (and it sounds like it is) genetic, then it probably is a good idea to talk with your psychiatrist about how you've been feeling.

Anyhow, feel free to PM (Private Message) me if you'd ever like someone to talk to... I'm around your age, and would be glad to talk if you'd like!

Take care,
Jacq
