Re: Scared trying new things

@Happyman. Do you have coping techniques to help you calm down? It's important to practice and use these techniques when needed.
Tafes, Universities and on-line learning will have staff available for helping students. Whether it's learning how to write in essay form, or needing help or extra time due to illness.
Sorry my memory has gone again today. Hopefully someone else on this forum will know what this person is called.
Let this student support person know that you have anxiety & they may be able to put things in place to help you if you need it. This can be a private /confidential conversation.
Well done on going back to study. I'm sure it will be a great success

Most campuses have a disabilities dept ... it can help if extensions for assignments are required.
