hey everyone. so i was diagnosed with mild anxiety at 14, but i never went on medication and it never affected me too much. 

now that im in university, i find i experience extreme nausea and chilling, cold dread everyday. even when i wake up, the first thing i feel is nausea and fear. im not doing as good as i wanted this year, but this has gotten to a point it’s affecting me everyday. 

i also noticed i felt like i had something permanently stuck in my throat since i moved away to university. i found out that’s also an anxiety symptom. i hate where i live, i hate the city im in, i hate my classes, and i miss my family. my entire situation gives me extreme anxiety and i just hyperventilated for like 5 mins straight trying not to faint. 

has anyone else had a response like this to school? or even a new job or new environment? i don’t even know what to do. this must be to the point i need medication but i don’t have a psychiatrist and the wait times are far too long in canada.
