I know this sounds like a joke but I swear I'm being 100% serious right now. Also first time posting here so I apologize for any mistakes.

I've (20f) always had anxiety about certain things but for some reason or another in high school my brain latched onto math. I've always struggled with the concept of not being good/smart enough so I think this is just a manifestation of those fears. I would always dread going to my math classes and would regularly have panic attacks anytime I was taking a test. I've been wanting to go to university to get the science degree I've always wanted. The downside is I have to do A LOT of Math so I'm hoping to get this under control and not let it hold me back.

I've taken up D&amp;D as a way to slowly introduce myself back into being back in a mathematical mindset (you have to do a surprising amount of calculating even if it's relatively simple) and it's been working. I'm also on medication (prescribed by my doctor) so I'm covered on that front.

I was hoping that maybe someone has some tips on how I can get this under control. Thank you in advance &lt;3
