Yep, if that means stopping school for a while. .that is ok. Just take care of yourself one day at a time. You only need to get thru this day. We can do that ..

Oh, a natural aid to deal with anxiety is a simple form of meditation. Breath in deeply for 3 to 5 seconds. Thru your nose.. Hold that breath for 3 or 4 seconds, then let that breath go out of your moutch for 4 or 5 seconds. Try that for 2 to 3 minutes at first, then try to increase that to 10 to 15 minutes a day..when necessary.. This is in reality an ancient meditation technique that calms people down. It works. Now, try putting your tongue on the roof of your mouth, and concentrate on one simple idea..like peace in the forest on a beautiful day. ..... Lesson over..
No charge..You do not need to do it perfectly, so just breath in deeply and hold it a very short while, and slowly breath out. Good Luck.
