...and I don't know what to do. I'm sure other people have experienced this; I feel like I've screwed up my life. I always feel like when I start a new situation, I will be fine and I won't embarass myself, but it never ends up happening. I end up doing something incredibly stupid and I then have huge anxiety in the atmosphere where I messed up. Example: school. I go to a really small campus. I'm considering *not* going back because I feel as if I can't face anyone there anymore. I have a lot of anxiety and I used to drink to cover it up (not alone or on weekdays, but weekends with friends). After drinking, I seriously became such an extreme person. I was *never* violent...moreso that all of my emotions came through when I drank because I hid them otherwise. I wanted to talk to *everyone* whenever I was a little tipsy or drunk and that's what I did. Needless to say, I did some really embarassing things. I also contacted people that I rarely talked to on campus when I was drunk and said some really stupid things. Due to that and a lot of other reasons (my anxiety disorder!), I'm *so* nervous to go back to school. The only thing keeping me sane is the thought of seeing friends again. But, even that makes me so nervous. I am mostly anxious around people that I know or acquaintances. I feel as if everybody is always trying to figure me out because I'm such a *mystery* that people don't understand.
Ugh, I felt fine at the beginning of the summer. I always feel like I have so much time to pull things together but then...time catches up with me and I still haven't fixed anything. I'm finding that the date for returning back to school is coming closer and closer and I feel more anxious everyday. But I also feel like I have to finish my college years off because I need to prove to myself that I don't always run away from my problems. The answer to everything in my life has always been, avoid, avoid, avoid. If I don't want to talk to somebody, I always avoid them. If I'm embarassed about something I did, I always avoid anybody involved. Now this coming school year, I am going to constantly be running into people that I want to avoid, but due to the small size of campus, I literally can't. What should I do? What should I do when I run into somebody that I said something really embarassing to? What should I do when I run into people that constantly ask me questions about my life? I hate that, too and people always seem to do that. I hate being put on the spot. I don't know if I should even bother going back because honestly, these things will always be on my mind. Please help!
