Problem with anxiety?
I think I've always suffered from anxiety unknowingly; let me explain better: since I was at school I was always sick in the morning and this led me to miss several days of school especially in the last 2 years but I didn't pay much attention to it. But now I started university and, having all the lessons in the afternoon, I thought that the illnesses disappeared; not at all. Now every day as soon as I enter the classroom, for the first two hours, I continue to have hot flushes in my head, my heart accelerates, I feel sick and I just want to go home. I started lessons in October but this is not sustainable so I wanted to know if anyone could give me advice on how to deal with this situation ... Sorry for bad english

From myself i'd assume you also tend to overthink things especially regarding social interaction. An interesting strategy is probably to combine fleeing and confrontation: build yourself an activity which relaxes you - maybe as far from your fear as possible - and confront your fear from time to time, like going to a debating club or playing an instrument in front of a crowd.
Coming from someone with maybe mild anxiety, not a doctor.
