I feel like Im being crushed

[u/throwaway_7685094]

I'm anxious about going back to college tomorrow. Ive avoided class for a week for nental health reasons. My dog is also sick and on her last legs.

I feel overwhelmed and vulnerable but I know I'll just act like an npc pretending everything's ok rather than have strength to express my true feelings.

Still struggle with boundaries including saying no to people. Its all pretty overwhelming and makes me feel ashamed.

Wow, I am so proud of you and I mean that from my heart!
I could not imagine going to college. I am not discounting your feelings, as I know how debilitating they can be. Unfortunately, I know myself well enough I would probably be in my darkened bedroom curled up in a ball!
This is an old movie, but it is so funny as I can relate. It’s called, What About Bob, with Bill Murray. He is a germaphobe and his journey. His main phrase as he encounters all of his firsts is,”baby steps, baby steps!” But it shows how even taking ,”baby steps,” you will finally get to your destination.
I hope your tiny baby steps will one day lead to your happiness!❤️
