How can I deal with anxiety for school?

1 Answer

Answer :

Thinking and anticipating about it is always more terrifying than the reality of it. It’s very normal to feel the way you do, but when you actually get “into” it, you will find the anxiety lessen as the days go by. In the meantime, take a deep breath, step back, and look at things rationally——if you overloaded yourself, can you change it still? If you can, change your load. If you have time, it wouldn’t hurt to go visit the school if you can and meet some of the people there and talk to them. Get yourself acquainted with the ambience of the school and familiarize yourself with the lay-out of the school, the surrounding area, the people, etc. Doing so might help ease the anxiety. Don’t think about it too much. Remember what I said, the image in your mind is always scarier than the reality. Be confident, keep your head up, and go in there with a positive, happy, go-getter attitude. And remember, every other sophomore is feeling the same way you are, and will be just as nervous on his/her first day, first month. Some just hide it better than others. Lol. Smile, you’re in control.
