Baby cakes!!! Call me later on okay? I am/was/is/whatever going through the same thing too.

Nessa baby!!! I will call you later. I had no idea you went through the same thing.

I get it. They say it's "normal", but not really when I feel like I'm out of my body and thrust in darkness. I can't just "get over it", can't just "face my fear" when I dont even know what I'm afraid of!

Anxiety is very intrusive and exhausting to deal with day after day. It is almost for certain a symptom of the root problem... which is low self-esteem.

In your case it might have to do with how much you believe in yourself and your abilities to succeed and have a career in law. If you do not believe in yourself (aka: have low self-esteem) then the prospect of being among many other successful and smart students in law school could be intimidating... UNLESS you already believe in yourself.

my anxiety started when i was about 12 and i'm 15 now and am just getting out the other side of it. it is the hardest thing to go through and at the time you feel like there is no where to go, and no help at all. but there is, and you will be ok. get some help and teach yourself that you can do things and nothing is ever as bad as it seems. i know its hard, but you can get yourself through it, and you will :)

I understand what you are going through. People are always telling me that I have to put myself into socially uncomfortable situations in order to get over my feelings.. I tend to agree, but it's harder than most realize. I really hope you don't let this thing keep you from law school. That is a great aspiration. I wish you the best.

i have panic attacks and claustrophobia. its hard going to school especially if im taking a test because i can not focus on one thing.. ive had a school councler and a therapist. :/ it doesnt help my self esteem either. anxiety is hard to deal with, definitely.

Gah! I am in the exact same boat as you. I know exactly how you feel. I'm currently a student. It feels like I'm either freaking out about an assignment or have it completely out of my mind. It's so hard to find a middle ground.
