So I'm in school still "high school" I use to be in public school but I finally got taken out of there & put into online schooling. I've had social anxiety all my life. It was so bad that I began to have bad stomach issues like diareah & dizzyness/fainting. So I go 5 times a year to test in a public area with a lot of other people & that social anxiety starts acting up & it's like it's telling me I cant have a life, I am scared to go to a public restroom & use it. So what should I do? Should I just drop out & stay away from situations like that? Idk what to do anymore..Please help?

stay in school. if you drop out you will regret it later. for the social anxiety problems i'd suggest baby steps. you don't want to just avoid it because then it will never be fixed. try small groups of friends first. i get propblems with claustraphobia sometimes so i can kind of relate. think of it as a muscle or weight lifting, start small first and work your way up.
