For me it just seems that my Uni life is really hard; I miss alot of classes because some days I just cant face uni, it seems there is always 2 assignments I need to do by next week & I cant even study at home because my parents are always fighting, my mum is mumling to herself or looking to me for comfort.

Sorry to bitch but I just wanted to know if other peoples SA affect how well they do at Uni/College.

For me, it looks like I am going to fail 2 out of my 3 courses I am doing or at best fail one & just scrape by in the other 2.

i was very affected by it the first several years i tried college. it really took self discipline to push myself to go. for me showing up was half the battle. i made a decision that i would attend every single class rain or shine. when i did, i would sit on an aisle seat always close to the door so i knew i could escape if i had to, which helped alleviate some of the pressure i felt during class. i admit i have had a breakdown in class before. and anxiety attacks. if you inform the teacher you have a disability they will be understanding, although i never did that.

No, not undergrad at least. I had "escaping class" down to an art. I would get all the information I needed, and then go straight home to my computer for the rest of the day. The 4-5 hours of class time were stressful (so was the walking in between classes), but they were doable since I didn't really talk to anyone.

Now, post-professional classes, those are completely different. You have to be with your classmates almost half of the day and there's so little private time. It really bugged me, for the same reason why I hated High School (too congested). And my grades took a nose-dive. I decided to take a leave this year so I could re-explore my life. Hopefully I can do a lot better come this August when I start back up again.

My GPA is actually a 3.5 go figure, Mine anxiety is actually the opposite of yours. I feel anxious if i skip class, so i havn't missed a single class since i started in 2008. =\

I know what you mean. I always worry too much about everything. I can't concentrate to do anything, always thinking what will happen if... It affects a lot. I always get low marks when I need to speak or group works. I always forget what I have to say and thinking what are they thinking about me now. One good thing about Uni is people are more understanding, no bulying or something familiar. Well I'm trying to finish it, but I can't concentrate at my graduation dissertation... I think I will fail this year...

Yes, social anxiety and depression have made university one big mushed together piece of insurmountable shit. I've wasted so much time and money, worrying, depressed. I'm gonna fail this year too I know it, and all the stress will be for nothing.

£14,000 down the drain, a bundle of regrets and the only sign of light is the fact of me having come to this realisation (finally) that this 17 yrs of education has been more than enough for me and if I wanna feel better I need to start doing something else.

I skip a lot of tests and group projects, and some you cant make up, like the ones in biology
My grades are alright, but it seems like they're slowly declining with the lack of motivation all of this anxiety brings me
