Campus Anxiety?????
I suffer from agoraphobia. It’s been worse in the last couple of months and I am on summer vacation from school. I’m afraid that once the fall semester starts I won’t be able to make it to classes. Yes, I do go to the Dr. for this but I havnt left my house since May. Just walking across campus made me nervous and I wouldnt go to class just because of that. This will be my 6th semester at my school. What can I do????

Your doctor can provide better advice than anyone on here, but I’d say that if you need to take a semester or even a year off to devote to conquering this problem, then get in touch with the appropriate people at your school and do it. Alternatively, explore whether there are online versions of classes you’d need to fulfill your requirements; if your school doesn’t offer them, talk to the advising office about whether you can transfer credits.

Keep seeing your doctor. Ask him or her if there is medication that may help your situation better than any you are currently taking. I know it is hard but you just have to decide that you are going to school and not a fear get to you. Look at Paula Deen, she was an agoraphobic for some 10 years after her first husband left, now she is the Food Network Goddess! She said she just decided one day that it was a enough and she was going to live her life. Mind over matter. Good luck to you.
