I'm starting my Masters program, after having just completed my Honours year last year. I'm sitting in my first class, with a very unsettled stomach, racing negative thoughts and general feelings of anxiety. Is this normal?
For unsettle stomach eat lot of cookie!!! Class is good but cookie much munch munch beeeetter
I used to get this in extreme amounts when going to CC or any social event in general. Do you want to know what the biggest thing was that tripped me up? Those introductions! Completely unnecessary and stressful they are. I think it is normal. If you want, you could give hypnotherapy a try. Good luck.
I get this every year, and it is probably quite common. Should settle down a bit once you have got to know your new dons (professors) and fellow students.
Ugh every time I glance at the title I see "is it normal to get nervous when sharting" for some reason. Every time!!
Now that I'm older and I know what anxiety is....like really understand anxiety...I realize that I had this growing up....all the way through college. I never knew it. If I were to go back to school I'd most likely be in a much better place because I've learned and developed tools for handling anxiety. Perhaps you should consider seeing a therapist or joining an anxiety group (if you're therapists office offers this). Just to help you build a toolset to handle situations like these. Meditation has been my biggest tool...Now when I'm in the situation I can acknowledge my anxiety and stress signals and accept the situation for what it is....making it much easier for me to pay attention and not obsessively rattle off all my fears in my head during the lecture.
I agree about the introductions! They make me feel super self-conscious and inadequate.
