Hey everybody! I moved to school today and am actually ok with it. I was upset last night before I was moving, but I think that was normal. I just don't want my anxiety to get bad again at school because that is where it all began. I am seeing a counselor once a week here so I am hoping that should help out a lot. I still have shortness of breath at some times. I just wish that would all go away. Does it every go away? Thanks so much for being a great support system! I am beginning a fresh semester and I hope that things only go up from here! Take care all!

Yeah f.d.! Good for you...I am so proud that you are working on your challenges and going back to resume your schooling!

Yes, the breathing will get better as you go along in your therapy and recovery work. I used to have this problem too, but I very rarely struggle with it anymore, if ever. I have a favorite breathing exercise that I think is the best around, and if you'd like me to give you directions, post back. Otherwise, if you have ones that are working for you, keep them up. There are also links in our Anxiety Resource Guide to sites that teach these.

Remember that there will be an adjustment period as you get into the school year. Be patient with yourself, and know that a little anxiety is normal, like you said.

I am glad that you are 'taking us with you' We are always here to help and cheer you on! I hope that this is the best and brightest school year for you yet...you are a super-star:)

Take care and let us know how you are doing soon,

Congratulations - you moved to school and even with a few bumpy moments you did it !

I have had anxiety most of my life and I would say it does not go away completely, but it can be controlled...........it is part of who I am.  I have anxiety, anxiety does not have me.
