I'm a sophomore and college and basically feel at a loss for what I want to major in and do with the rest of my life. I've had anxiety problems come and go since 7th grade and now find myself caught up in it again. Last year I had a pretty anxiety and panic free time for the most part. I found myself being able to be "myself" such as socializing easily and being pretty content. At the start of this school year things completely changed. The first week of school I found myself having incredible amounts of anxiety, for what reason I'm not entirely sure. I experienced the feeling of "going out of reality" for a few brief moments, the feeling I get before having a panic attack (I've only had 2 or 3 FULL blown panic attacks in my life where I nearly felt like I needed medical treatment) I've found myself feeling like I have a frog in my throat when talking to people and it only makes me more nervous, wondering how just last year when I felt like I was doing great I could go in such a 180 degree turn. (I might add, I had these problems come pretty bad my senior year of highschool, then they seemed to disappear when school started) I'm beginning to wonder if I'm doomed to have these problems for the rest of my life and it's beginning to make me question if I can follow through with my goals. Now I can only wonder questions like: what would happen if I had a panic attack during work? Can I get through the tough school with terrible anxiety? I'm 19 working on 20 and hope to God that these problems are just hormonal and will pass. Any good life advice guys?
