college

Shy shannon

hi everyone, haven't talked on here for a bit, but wanted to come say hi. 

is anyone aged 20+ and wants to go college because they didn't do much of it when they were supposed to? 

I went to a animal course for level 1 and completed it but then level 2 came and I stopped going because of my anxiety. but now being 21 years old, I would love to go back and complete my level 2. but my anxiety, depression and now on the waitlist for autism is still bad. I think I can do it. but I don't want to fall into a hole again. 

what do yous think ??? 

thank you :)

  • I re-qualified as an electrician in ‘19/20. I realised how anxious the course would make me so I arranged to visit the centre a month before. That way the surrounding weren’t unfamiliar. I also told them that I wad autistic, even though I still haven’t had a formal diagnosis. That gave me the opportunity to tell them my additional needs and how they could help. Luckily they were very accommodating and let me go into the room before the rest of the group, so I could pick where I sit and none of the trainers di the whole “tell us about yourself”

    I felt bad for effectively lying to them about my diagnosis, but it got me through the 6 weeks and I was relatively comfortable.. I think as Plastic says, you need to identify the triggers and then do what ever you need to do to assist you.
