Heya- I'm Alex and I'm starting school again after getting so panicked about eighth grade that I technically quit. I ended up passing (out of pity I think) and I'm in a much more smaller school so it doesn't look too overwhelming. My problem is that I just heard about this school and I'm already going to go tomorrow! I prefer some time to think and plan but it doesn't seem I have that. I've been in the school to look around and despite it being just one hall I am still nervous about even walking out of a class by myself. The thing I am most afraid of is messing up or someone talking to me and I come off as mean in some way! I tend to get a bit snappy or glare when someone talks to me cause the first thing I think is that they are being forced to talk to me or it's a joke! I don't want to glare at someone by a accident and make everyone in my new school hate me. I'm also afraid I might accidently break a rule.. I usually avoid everything possible so that doesn't happen..but I'm still worried. My dad tells me to just push through the anxiety but I feel like I'm gonna die.. we already planned on writing on sticky notes when I want to speak to the teachers but still everything else involving my existence in this place sounds terrifying to me.

Support and suggestions on how to calm down would be good- I might end up staying up all night because of all of this..
