For years my anxiety has been really bad.It even forced me to drop out of school which i've hated myself for ever since i did it but it like pretty much took over my life.So 3+ years go by and i'm 20 years old cant find a job and cant get myself to take ged classes because of my anxiety that seems to hit me every time i leave the house.That is until the end of march my mom got sick and i had to go to the emergency room w/ her at 4am. I had never been that scared in my life everything started running through my mind.What if somthing happened to her and she was seriously sick and what would i do not being able to support myself.So i decided i better try to fight through my anxiety and get my ged so i can have a future of my own.It turns out (thank god) that my mom wasnt seriously sick afterall.The Drs diagnosed her w/ panic attacks and anxiety so as much as that isnt a good thing me and her can talk about it alot easier now that she knows how i feel.Anyway I went back to classes the end of march and i just took my GED test this weekend and i'm awaiting my results.I cant tell you how amazing it feels and its like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Good for you!!! I had a terrible time with high school. I was having panic attacks every day and it made me unable to go to school. I just couldn't face sitting in class having attack after attack. I eventually stoped going to school and was able to get a toutor that came to my house a few times a week. I made it through all the exams jounior yaesr and returned to school for the most paet of my senior year. I did graduate on time with my class. And as I walked across the stage with my class mates I had a panic attack! But somehow I did it.

Good for you!! I know how hard it can be. You are on your way!! Keep it up!!

Thanks,

I graduated last night, It felt so good to get it over with and i felt like a big weight was lifted off of my shoulders.

Congrads on your degree, you got your High School Degree!!! You can now say proudly that you are high school graduate.

I was somewhat in your shoes when I was in high school, my father passed away 1 week before high school and the whole freshman year I was horrible, sick, didn't go to school on days, but thank god my father was well know in town and I had good teachers, principal who lived down the street, a school secruity guard was a friend of my father, they all allowed me to do what I needed freshman year. I made it through that year and moved on.

Good luck in your future, now it is time to go to college!!!! You may want to try on-line courses. Many really good colleges offer these, you can take them when you want, you can take the class at 3 am if you want, do not have to wake up at 7 for a 8 am class. My wife took many for her masters and they work.
