I live in the UK and I'm supposed to start college at the beginning of September. I was in secondary school until year 9 when I couldn't take all of the stress and dropped out.

So for the last three years I've been technically homeschooled, but my anxiety around school/exams/college has been so bad I get stressed out even opening texts books. It's been better recently but I still struggle a lot.

I don't really know why I'm posting here tbh. I suppose to vent, to look for support? I was just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences with school or anxiety around studying and exams.

My sister has been saying how college isn't that bad and it'll be okay and logically I know that it will most likely be okay but I'm just terrified. I ended up having a crying fit last night because I started panicking again. Ive also been dealing with stuff and home and I've been consistently nauseous most of the week.

Thank you to anyone who reads this.
