Hi
im looking for some advice on doing a masters degree. I am not so sure If I am able or if I will get support like i got at my university for my bachelors.
I am 24, and I completed a year ago a bachelors degree in Industrial Design. I received a 2.1, however I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder during my time at uni while doing my bachelors. To say the least I had a terrible time during my final year due to the stress levels and my anxiety issues going through the roof and it affected my studies quite badly, being late for assignments mainly. My course was studio based and I was a week past my final deadline handing my work in (which still gets me down) however the staff and university was very helpful and understanding of my issues, ofcourse psychologists and doctors where communicating with my university department.

My anxiety issues have somewhat eased, in other ways gotten worse, since I finished uni.

I am worried to start a masters (in the same or similar subject area) knowing I have these anxiety issues and knowing that high stress levels dont go so well in my favour. I worry because if I went to a new university, perhaps they wont treat me as well, and that it would be a waste of money & there time if I cant pass it. However I dont want to go through my life without trying my hardness and letting an illness get in the way and I want to better my ability all the time and it makes sense that a masters is the best way to do that. I am also considering to study abroad (in finland, however ive lived there before).

Do you think its a bad idea for someone like me to even consider doing a masters or is it worth my consideration to look ? anyone else do /currently doing a masters who deals with anxiety or panic attacks ? how are you finding it ?

Thanks for reading.
