A year ago I was sitting in a unit test, the classroom was pretty quiet, all of a sudden I had this fear gripping me when i noticed how quiet the room was, this made me panic, my heart rate was up, I was sweating, labored breathing, barely able to concentrate on the paper. I rustled the pages just to make some noise. All in all quite distressing. I asked to go to the loo and was told to take my stuff with me, so I did.
I left the building and didn't go back to the classroom. Following that, I found myself getting really anxious every time I tried going back to that class, this spread to my other classes and I was skipping out a lot. I never had another panic attack, but find it very difficult to sit in a class. I barely scraped my exams with support from my student adviser, I had to sit in a separate room with a supervisor so I could do them.
Now, I'm going to uni, and Im going to have to sit in a class, with people and most certainly do silent tests, I get so worried thinking about it, I don't know what to do.
I even get anxious sitting at someone elses dinner table. I was seeing a doctor a couple of months back but stopped going because talking about upsetting events last year causes me to crack up in tears every time, it was too much.
I just need some advice on what to do and should I go back to the doctor? I'm worried they'll be pissed off i didn't go back.
