hi all,
university (module leaders) finally found out (cos word goes around) that i was having panic attacks and i wasnt concentrating well. i feel very ashamed as i didnt tell anyone before. i was sooo upset, they arranged to meet me and we discussed support options. i asked for an extension for my assignments, but they did not allow me to continue with the course even though i was so close to finishing my first year. they gave me a 6 month suspension from the course.
i told them that things will get worse for me if i left the course and that it'll get harder for me to come back.
got back home and since i havent been to work for a bit- theyv fired me too.
i'm soo depressed- i dont know what to do
can anyone cheer me up a bit?

Miss Sunshine, you're post made me sad.
I too have panic attacks so I know how you feel. I've had them at work too, but my coworkers and nm have been very supportive and understanding. Are you taking medications and seeing a therapist for this?
I would take this 6 months and go back and be better than ever. Don't feel as though you've failed - you haven't.
Good luck.

Are you saying you just didn't go? Didn't call or anything?
I really hope you're seeing someone for this. This behavior worries me.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I don't know if anything I can say will cheer you up, but try to think positively. I know, easier said than done, but maybe a break is what you need. I wish you all the luck in the world.
