Rough day

[Lindsey14]

Yesterday we got a whole day just basically for preparing for college. First we have people who just grauated recently to speak to us. That wasn't bad. Then we had to do this reality simulation of a sinario (most people had diffrent ones) well mine I was a single mom with 2 kids and high debt, loans,and i earn little money. Well I've been overwhelmed and this simulation sent me,over the edge into a panic attack. They push college on us so hard, its too much at one time. The simulation made me panic over the future and made feel like i would never make it in life.....

It's okay, fortunately it was just pretend. I know with anxiety it can be hard to let things go, but this is not your weight to bear. Try to make a plan for yourself to make smart choices that keep you from such a predicament. Focus on the here and now, set goals for the future and work your plan to reach them. If/when something similar triggers an attack, perhaps take a short break (think bathroom), count slowly to 30, take a few deep breaths and try to tackle the task at hand. You have got this!
