i mean yea i'm pretty open about my mental health but as most people get anxious about things, people don't really take it seriously. like some people really don't understand the difference between having anxiety and being anxious.
I know. I have to sit in a different room than everyone else during an exam, and I need to be able to take "breaks" whenever I feel the need to, it's super annoying having to explain this to teachers every time I get a new one, but my anxiety's so bad during exams that even though I still sit by myself I have at least 4 panic attacks lmao.
But of course some people think I "Want to sit by myself bc I think I'm special" but like, no, I physically and emotionally cannot handle sitting in a room with my entire class during an exam.
I still think you should try and tell some of them? Let them know how it makes you feel? I'm sure some of them would try helping you the best they could.
But also as someone else said earlier, it's okay to take a break and look at it again tomorrow, or in an hour or two. Take care of yourself. <3
oh my gosh, that sounds awful. i'm sorry.
i feel like the worst part of mental illnesses is people don't take them as seriously as a physical disability, for example, but sometimes they can be even worse, because you can overcome losing an arm for example, but it can be damn near impossible to overcome certain mental illnesses.
