Hello everyone. I was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder about 5 months ago and while I've been working on getting more confident and facing my fears in the outside world, there's one part of my life that I can't get a handle on, which is university.

I've been in university for 6 years now and I keep avoiding going to class, doing assignments, and it's getting worse and worse. I should have graduated already but haven't, due to delaying classes that I've had to drop.

Any advice on what to do?

Anyone else out there has major anxiety and social anxiety when it comes to university/school?
