I’m in first year university and second semester started this week. I have lectures to watch but I’m scared for some reason. It was like this during first semester and high school.  I’ve always had a fear of failure and procrastinating is just giving me more anxiety. I keep imagining myself doing the work and then getting stuck on something and feeling dumb. I’m scared that if I don’t understand a concept, I’ll waste the rest of the day thinking about it and stressing over how to solve it. The workload is only going to get heavier and soon I’ll be suffocated with tests and assignments again. I’ve never experienced a mental barrier this strong. I feel like dropping out at this point. How do I overcome this.
