Hi! Let me just jump right into this… I’m a college student and in the past I was falsely accused of plagiarism. The issue was resolved as there was no proof but now two things happened back to back to make me drown in this horrible anxiety attack. 

1) I submitted a paper for one of my courses. Ever since that experience of being accused of plagiarism, I get a lot of severe anxiety when I  post. It freaks me out because being accused of something like that is horrifying considering you could be expelled. I DID NOT plagiarize. But like before… I was falsely accused so I get worried I’ll be accused again. 

2) I did this psychology extra credit entrance quiz and just zoomed through the questions. I sped through it because of my 2 day panic attack due to that paper aforementioned. Also it was extra credit and I thought “uhh I can’t fail so whatever I get it isn’t the end of the world”. Bad news is I did pretty well. The answers were pretty obvious but it took me an hour to complete whereas it should’ve taken me 4 hours. Now I’m worried I’ll be accused of cheating and I don’t know what to do. 

I guess I’m just asking for some reassurance that I’m fine. I know for the first trigger, it’s just in my head. It’s just a worry from something that happened once before. But for the second trigger… this is where I’m worried. I don’t know whether I should contact the professor or just wait and hope they don’t reach out.
