A little about myself.

I'm a male in his mid thirties who has completed a university degree in a science related field. I graduated was accepted into a master program in a rehabilitative science.

I have never experience anxiety at a level where I ever even noticed it. During my schooling (about 6 months ago) I was away from home for quite some time and had to social isolate in a state where I didn't know anyone. It was here I began to have symptoms of what I believe was anxiety. I stopped eating, couldn't sleep, heart was pounding, mind was racing, missed everyone and everything, etc. I cancelled by trip and come home and these feelings went away within a day. 

Recently, I moved (less than an hour away from last home) and began another semester at school. The anxious feelings began to come back the day I returned to classes even though I was in a familiar and comfortable environment. I was losing my apatite, once I woke up I was anxious and couldn't fall back asleep, couldn't concentrate on school, etc. I decided I would go speak to my doctors and have been taking an SSRI (Lexapro) for about 2 months now. 

I began to feel better and was able to eat more and concentrate on school. However, the anxiety crept back in. I kept thinking I wasn't interested in my school program and the career that would follow and decided withdrawing was in my best interest. I felt great after withdrawing but have noticed the anxiety is coming back again.

I've been very anxious and stressed that I don't know what I want to do with my career now. I feel like at my age I should be working at a job that will be my career like many of my friends. I keep trying to look around for schools and jobs that might interest me, but I feel like the stress and anxiety is making everything I look at seem unappealing. 

If you have read this far I really do appreciate you taking the time. I don't really know what I hope to accomplish with this post. I hope that speaking about it with others who may have experienced something similar will alleviate some of my anxiety.
