Hi everyone. 
I’m new here and I’m looking for some advice. So I’m a music major at a popular music school. I’m studying music education. I am sometimes having intrusive thoughts about changing my major/dropping out of music school and it makes me very nervous and stresses me out. I know that music teaching is what I want to do and I don’t have these thoughts all the time but they are periodic. I’m aware having doubts about your career is normal and I know I don’t want to change. Does anyone have advice for dealing with symptoms/thoughts in general? Am I worried over nothing? 

Last year when I went up to school and I stayed overnight I threw up from anxiety of the change of school. I have a fear of this happening again but last year things sorted out quickly. I also have a fear of failing, as this year will be drastically different from last year with Covid. I fear the sophomore slump and I feel like my overall motivation for music has been in a bit of a blah during the summer. Maybe it’s prolonged burnout from the previous semester? 

My anxiety has controlled a lot of my life and I want to move away from that because I want to enjoy things without worry. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Lots of love!
