Today, I found out that I'm failing this semester because I've missed too many classes. I've missed the classes because I've been having panic attacks, a symptom of my anxiety disorder. I got the anxiety disorder because I was so afraid of failing school. FML

Smoke some weed. That will help with the anxiety. Also, realise that there is more to life then good grades. They help sure but they are not the be all and end all. And life really begins after you finish school. Not during.

Speak with your school's disability services. I've had the same thing happen to me before, and it ish totally not cool.

i know exactly the way you feel. i've been dealing with semi-anxiety attacks for a while. solution: you just gotta work even harder and just now worry about it. let yourself believe that you've done your best and that there is nothing else besides that you can do. in situations like this, not caring is the best solution.

You'd better not be one of those idiots who may or may not really have a disorder but lets it run their life instead of taking charge for themselves. Disorders should NOT be excuses. If this is so serious then there's plenty of ways to help, and if this is a continuing problem then you should've gotten off your ass to find a way to relax yourself. And no, don't smoke weed because then you'll keep failing.

aw hunny!! the SAME EXACT thing happened to me a couple years ago. i thought my life was ******. so i started seeing a psychologist to talk to and a psychiatrist to manage my meds. things were rough for awhile, but they DID start getting better. my panic attacks are now under control and i've been on a regular dose of meds for over 2 years. that's just me, but i hope hearing that gives you some hope. my advice is to not be afraid to ask for some assistance- talk to your teachers and let them know what's going on. also, talk to someone you know will listen and ask for help finding doctors. if you need to, take some time off school. i know it sounds crazy, but it might be what you need. lastly, don't give up. things WILL improve.

You need to seek some professional help. Seriously. They can provide a note and usually you'll get excused.

Anxiety disorders are a giant circle of doom that's hard to get out of :( I'm just like you but with social situations. Also I won't want to go somewhere because I'm afraid I'll have a panic attack but then I have a panic attack about possibly having a panic attack and it's horrible as hell :(

PLEASE WHATEVER YOU DO KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE : I haven personaly been through the same thing. I had to drop out of school when I was 16. I only took 3 classes a day, and still had panic attacks. They are terrible. I fortunatly got a GED. I still get nervous and sometimes sick when I enter a classroom enviroment. The first step to getting beter is admiting that you are your own worst enemy. You have to know that you have no health problems and are just fine, stop the excuses it hurts like hell, but in the end most all people have panic attacks becuase they are afraid of having another one. Tell yourself that this will not happen again. MAKE YOURSELF BELEIVE WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART AND SOUL THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE ONE! It works. People with panic attacks are smart and think to much. You think of EVERYTHING how you will die,how embarraed you will be, how you will fail. Do yourself the hugest favor and find something to do. Get a job was my choice. (play an instrument,write a story,paint ect find your nitche) In the end whatever gets you better (doctors, medicine, therapy, acupunture, EMDR, (you might want to try that if they get very terrible). Do and try everything. Then I promise the panic will fade, not all the way, but 80-90 percent of it. God bless you in finding you way, I will be praying for you and for all with this.
