Open Question: should I drop out of uni ? or stay? i don’t know ?

by John Kernstein on January 30, 2010

I'm in my first year at university studying Anthropology. It all seemed like a good idea at first and I felt content knowing that I was doing something with my life. My problem is that I have an anxiety disorder that is making studying hard for me, I never turn up to seminars and even lectures make me panic, I struggled in school and somehow thought uni would be different but... it's not. I couldnt wait to leave school but now I can't wait to leave uni but at the same time i want to stay because I will feel like a failure and have no other life plans. Obviously anthropology was a stupid course to choose considering i find it extremely hard to speak to people and that is the main focus of the course. But every other course I think of frightens me too because of my anxiety. I'm stuck. Also I have a lovely boyfriend that I could start a little life with but I know i would be such a dissapointment to my family if i gave up everything I have acheived so far for a boy. I don't know what to do and now I'm just speaking to a computer.
