Question: School makes me have panic attack and makes me feel real uneasy?

I use to skip a lot in high school. so much that i was not there about 60 % of the time. my mom just thought i was a rebellious teenager because i never like to show weakness, and i could be an ass sometimes. but it wasn't that at all. it was because i get very uneasy and i panic in a classroom. so when my mom found out what i was doing she yelled at me, and i yelled back and told her i refuse to go back to my school. so my father paid for me to finish high school in an online at home program. i graduated this year with all a's and one b's.i never told my mother the reason why i skipped school, and now she's pushing me about college. i don't know if i can do this? i just know that i am going to have a panic attack if i go. i don't want to be a failure, but how am i going to go to college when i won't be able to concentrate? i need help? i know that if i tell my mother the truth she will just think it is one of my excuses, and she will literally tell me that what i'm telling her is bullshit because she thinks i am iron woman. what to do? have you ever had this problem? of course it is ok to be fat and ugly which i'm not. that has nothing to do with my panic attacks. idiot ok when i'm in the classroom i feel like i am trapped in a prison. time runs slow and i can't concentrate. all i'm thinking is get out! get out of here! and thats when the panic attacks happen. my mom is kind of supportive. i just think she wants the best for me and wants me to do something with my life.

I had pretty severe anxiety when i was younger and was able to train myself out of it so that its just mild now. I couldn't even talk to the drivethru speaker box or go into a store without someone holding my hand. Now, i can talk to the cashiers, alone, and even bitch to the manager about lousy service! You could get rid of it somewhat but first you need to figure out what it is about being in a classroom that makes you anxious. I had a social anxiety because i was teased all the time in gradeschool... My mother also made fun of me. I developed the anxiety because i started to think everyone was staring at me and judging me and making fun of me. I have been able to gain a new attitude and outlook on life so i don't care what people think and i know the only persons approval i need is my own. So, why are you anxious in a classroom. What is going through your head when you start to feel uneasy? Also worrying about having a panic attack... is not going to help at all. Screw your mother. Your dad sounds more supportive. Talk to him about it. You have to tell someone what is really going on to start getting well. And i also have the "freak out " attacks in certain high stress social situations. My doc said i freak out like that because i have never forgiven anyone for anything. I never said anything to him about my lust for revenge, just that i had been abused by many people. He was right though, i have never forgiven anyone for anything. When you do that, all it does is punish yourself and the "punishing yourself " can manifest itself as things you would never connect with it, like anxiety and panic attacks.

I have panic disorder pretty bad, I instantly feel like I am going to faint, I feel like I can't breathe and I just feel competely gone from myself I hate it and it scares me into derealization sometimes...But the good news is you can do a lot of college online as well ust like you did your HS. The only thing you will probably have to do is go to the college to take a placement test to see where you range for math and english but almost all classes can be taken online. Good luck hun! I know the feeling!
