hi Tom, I'm 20 too and well done for making it this far through college cos hey I didn't even get finished lol I'm in England, completed GCSE's and A-levels but had to leave college after about 7 months because of ibs. I know about fears,and they STINK lol they do. Being anxious is one of the most awful feelings in the world. However, I would say just like the others, don't give up on your dream. That's a lot easier typed than done I'll readily admit. I haven't got a clue what I want to do as a career (not sure whether that's a good thing or bad) but anyhow I know that God has good plans for me (Jerm 29:11) God gets me through all this and my family are wonderful. My views will always be based around God's will/word because I'm a Christian and could probably write a whole essay bout what the Bible says about fear, but even for those who don't believe I think that you still should do all you can to stand up to fear. there are people out there to help, whether they be friends, family and experts get help. As for missing out on life experience , I can relate to that too cos I've been battling with illness throughout most of my teens which are traditionally the 'growing up and experiencing years ' but don't worry cos there's still plenty time for that. You'll have loads of fun in the future so don't dwell on what you haven't done, look forward to what you will do!
there are some truly wonderful and inspirational people on this site and we're here to help as well as be helped. Vicky
