Obstacles.

Everyone has some no matter what. But it seems to me that I have always had to overcome more challenging obstacles than the average person. I have had a seizure disorder since I was two and the seizures have been in and out of control throughtout my life. Since the seventh grade my seizures have been more out than in. My current educational goal for myself is to get my A.A, transfer to Eastern Washington University, and then get my bachelors and Masters in Applied psychology. I have kind of become intimidate by the school environment that even stepping into a classroom causes some stress and anxiety and sometimes ultimately triggers a seizure. Does anyone have any advice on to deal with this disconcerting feeling so I can go on and get my masters in applied psychology?

Have you ever been offered or tried therapy? It sounds like that would be useful for you, help you train your mind not to get upset and stressed in a classroom situation. Perhaps C.B.T might help. I don’t know the details of your disorder and am no expert but I suggest you speak to a health professional about the possibility of therapy to specifically target your anxiety.

It might sound a little farfetdched, but would you feel comfortable trying hypnosis?

At this point I am willing to try anything that won’t make things worse

I can only imagine what you’re going through, but like I said hypnosis is something to try out. I wish you good luck.
