So I had to take a year out of uni, anxiety though the roof and it was showing in my work and I want to do this right and not just scrap though. I’m about to start back next week I’m going to be in a completely different class, I know nobody. I also don’t want to run into anyone from my old class as they weren’t the nicest to me. I.e. talking/gossiping when I didn’t come in, saying to others in the class that my anxiety was an excuse.
I basically just feel at a loss, I love my course so much and it’s been a lot of hard work getting to this point. I just don’t want the anxiety to increase from not knowing anyone, when I first started uni I was super confident, made friends(not very good ones) very quickly, now it’s different if it wasn’t for the fact that I want this so much I think I would have given up already. I’ve been trying to keep myself occupied so I don’t feel like this, working extra at work and not spending loads of time on my own at a time. I’m thinking about getting a hobby like maybe something crafty that can occupy me completely. I’m not sure what would be good hobby to take up, it would have to be minimal cost, and easy to pick up and then leave whenever I wanted. Any suggestions or maybe advice in general?
Everything and anything is appreciated X
