I have not started yet. I am getting so panicked I can't do anything. I left work 4 years ago because I got too sick to work. I am scared that I will get too sick at uni

You can do this and you're stressing because of the reasons for leaving your job.  Once you start uni just take it one day at a time.

What is worrying is I want to fido less and less. I am looking forward to being asleep. I have asked to see my we tutors but I am not sure that will help.

It has been not good my family invaded for two days. So I can't get my head around anything. Going to see my tutor tomorrow. She will think I am strange.

Ok. I think it will be a while before she gets me but we made some progress. I am still terrified. This week will be a real test.

This week is going to be scary but just take it one day at a time.  I know that's easier said than done and try and imagine targets such as getting to Monday lunchtime then end of the afternoon and so on.

This week has been awful. I have had a bad cold and done no work. This means I am a week behind in a 3 week project. I feel like the opportunity to be level with everyone else has been snatched from me and I am panicking. I should have known better. I am rubbish at everything. I can talk a good game though.

Hi iggyelvis, going back to uni can be a good experience, I was in my late 40s when I went to uni and got my double major, also it made for some very interesting times in class discussions specially with the rest of the class being around 25-30 years younger.
