I'm about to start school and I'm super nervous, I've been dealing with social anxiety for a while now when I was 11/12 it got really really bad and going to school was straight up torture that lead me to genuinely never leaving the house and that lasted for like 6/7 years and now I decided to get my life in track and going back to school (although it's online as I get really paranoid when I have to go outside) but I'm feeling so nervous, I feel like I'm going to die by how much my heart is beating I'm really scared does anyone know ways to feel less nervous :(

Ooof I'm struggling with the exact same thing. Admitted to psych ward, sever anxiety/panic disorder with a dash of agoraphobia, Oct 2022 and I'm still recovering. Haven't been able to go to work and they won't allow me to work from home anymore, if it weren't for my family I'd definitely be homeless rn ngl. So I get it, and I'm empathize with what you're going through. You're real cool for getting back on track!
Best piece of advice that's helped me personally is, your healing journey isn't likely going to be a liner process. You'll have wins and some losses. Some days you'll feel great and like you can take on the world and some days you'll want to hide away at home. It's ok to feel sad about backsliding and feeling like you've lost momentum, but don't stay in that feeling for too long. Let the negative feelings go as much as you can and keep pushing forward.

Ah duh also I feel a lot less nervous when I'm with someone I'm comfortable with OR singing/humming songs I like. The singing and humming can actually help with breath regulation which helps with the anxiety.
Ngl this made tear up, I'm going to try not to get too down when my healing process won't go as fast as I'd like it to go, I hope I can stay strong and finish this school year (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ thanks for your kind words and support
A lot of us go through real crap, don't we..? ^^;
Sincerely hope you're in a better place now, thanks so much for sharing, take care.
So proud of you to get back on track!
I know it's hard to do, you did very well.
Dealing with your anxieties is no easy task right off the bat, so you should take it slow.
Start socializing slowly if you can, take breaks, rewards yourself when you do good.
Create a good environment to work in that has as little distractions as possible.
If you need, create comforting playlists that help you study.
You can do it!~<3
Thanks for the kind words and for the advices I really have a hard time with you know anxiety so socializing is going to be hard but I'll try making at least one friend
I understand these feelings very well, I'm still in a pretty 'bad' place myself.
With a bit of effort, I'm sure you can get better!
You're already starting something, and it's a very good thing!
It won't be easy, but don't get discouraged, I'm sure you can make a friend.
Don't forget to focus when studying too. Good luck ^-^//
You'll be fine as long as you're not a freeloader, we hate those.
What does "freeloader" mean???
Those students who are missing in action, inactive, and can't be reached when you ask them to do their tasks, but they are online, posting tiktoks, and they have the audacity to complain when you remind them to do their task, assholes :)
-like I don't care if your grades aren't your priority but if it's groupwork, its team effort, don't be selfish, this isn't just your grade anymore, then they will be get mad at me for giving them zero in our group evaluation.
Oooh don't worry i like group projects as long I'm not the one talking cuz anxiety
They'll never run out of alibi, but I hate it when they tell me they have other things to do outside academics, like bitch, are you serious? We all have responsibilities outside of school, we all have eight subjects, other projects don't get me that bullshit, stop being lazy, we are adults, we're meant to be in college if there was no K-12, how the fuck will you survive college with how much selfishness you have?
Damn how many times did it happen to you to be this mad I'm sorry you have bad people in your group projects
Sorry for venting, but it's happening to me right now, we are unable to meet deadlines since three of my groupmates can't complete their research properly it's all copied and pasted with no citations. But to end this, yeah as long as you are helpful with your group, you'll be fine!
I will try my best
