>Can you sit next to a friend in the class, so if you need something someone will know what is going on?
I wish I could. Although I do know some of the people in the class, I wouldn't feel comfortable telling any of them what's going on with me. There are some people in the class that just aren't very understanding in regard to mental illness. I'm really hoping that just the anticipation of discussing the triggering topic will be the worst of it, and that the real thing will be not as bad as I'm thinking. But, the last time I had class, I had a taste of what's coming, and found myself uncomfortable. I felt that way because even though no one knows that I have Panic disorder, OCD (thats what we are talking about) I feel like they are all thinking about me, something like, "that must be what she has." Does that sound irrational? I know it's not logical... I feel like I can't even speak up in class out of fear that I might accidently drop some hint or detail that I have both of these disorders.
