I have struggled for the past 10 years with performance anxiety in school. I have avoided challenging classes and not taken the career that I wanted because of my attitudes toward school as threatening to my self-esteem. In my mid-20s I went back to school for challenging technical work and I would eventually like to enroll in a master's program, but I am feeling a lot of resistance to not doing well in classes. I have experience panic attacks and dropped classes several times over the years. I went to therapy and it has gotten better and I was hoping maybe someone out there could share a similar experience that they had. Wishing you all the best!
