Hi, I've got college tomorrow. I had 2 weeks off for half-term, on the week I was supposed to go back (last week starting 13th), I didn't go in at all. I went the full week pretty much in my bed. Every morning, I got up and got ready but I ended up having a panic attack every day and was in tears when it came to leaving my house.

A number of things is making me anxious; the bus journey there (2 buses), possibility of being late to class, being behind on work, the people (social anxiety).

I've also got issues with depression so it's really hard to do anything. I'm on the verge of just giving up on college. I'm in tears now because I feel like such a failure. I can barely even leave my house unless my boyfriend is right there with me.. and tomorrow he's not in until mid afternoon.

I'm on fluoxetine for social anxiety - it's helping a bit - but it's making my depression worse and my general anxiety much much worse (I've tried to talk to my psych but she said I should just stick with it for a bit longer).

Is it possible to take steps one day at a time? Could you have someone else you trust? Bring a laptop if possible I will be with you in spirit If anyone says anything mean come talk to us we'll tell you how wrong they are Knowing friends with dep meds they can get worse before they get better that may be why.
