Today I made the tough decision of leaving college after having consistent panic attacks and just generally being miserable. I don’t fit in on campus, it’s much more of a party school than I realized and there were also a lot of rumors of spiking drinks, and I’ve been having about 1-3 panic attacks per day since coming here. After experiencing my 12th panic attack, my family decided that it might be best to come home. I spoke with the counselor at school to make sure, and she basically agreed with my decision. She said it was abnormal to have a case this acute last this long, and basically said it was safer for me to stay at home. So I’ve done it. There’s no taking it back, and it was my decision.

I plan to transfer to another school, but if that’s not possible, then I will get a job until the spring semester hits. My brother, who was the one who convinced me to go off, is giving me a hard time, and just making me feel worse, but I feel so much more at ease after hearing that i can go home. I feel like I’ve made the right decision 

Does anyone have any advice about the coming days?
