Hello Everyone,
So I've been in college for a little over a month now. That's mainly why I've been ghost on this website for a while. It's mainly cuz I was trying to get a control over my time management. I have a bad habit of procrastinating, so I kinda just sit all day in dread of the work that's piling up. I've been getting better at handling this though! so hopefully I'll be more active on here..
Anywho, it's been going pretty good, however I've been going home immediately after my classes end everyday. That's not good cuz I wanna socialize and explore my campus a little more. I think I'm just super anxious and nervous of being around so many people. I don't really think of myself as someone who struggles with social anxiety, but I fear it may be taking a hold of me (again!!).
For readers that have social anxiety and are in college: how do you navigate this? How do you make friends when you're so nervous all the time? Or how do you calm down when you get anxious in a public space? I've been thinking of going to the doctor and maybe getting anxiety meds again, but I think it might be a skill issue for me. I've tried deep breathing every morning and before bed, and I've reminded myself time and time again that this campus belongs to me as much as it belongs to every other student here, but I'm still so anxious! How to fix this...
Something I kinda wanna start is making vlogs and posting them on here or on yt... but i'm not so sure how to manage that since I'm still handling managing my college courses.
Anywho, I think that's all I have on my mind for now. I'll update tomorrow... or next week... I'm not sure it depends on if I do anything interesting enough to write about.
Goodbye everyone!!

I'm already 4 months in college and let me tell you, they weren't joking on how fast it is and I'm currently at the semi-finals this first semester. 😭
And the procrastination thing, HAHA. I can relate... But if you are struggling being anxious around public, there's not much I can say since I'm not a professional and I have social anxiety but more on "getting used to it" but maybe your anxiety is a little different and I know it's not that easy to overcome anxiety.
All I can say is that don't beat yourself up and call yourself a skill issue for not being able to handle everything, a simple hi can help you with that, there are alot of people that are willing to talk to you even for a small amount of time, but it is entirely up to you what's best that may help yourself. Yes it is nice to take the meds and always seek professional help...
Someday, you will be able to interact with other people. Of course, it won't happen overnight and there's always a chance that could happen...It can be lonely at times in college and it's okay, I feel you. Please take care of yourself ❤️🩹
