Three things have prevented me going back despite mental health staff pushing the idea on a few occasions (1) quite severe social anxiety (2) navigating myself around (3) probable , though undiagnosed , learning difficulties .
With (3) My school performance had suffered because of it, and I could see the same thing happening going to college unless I got recognition for it and help. I knew that without proper support I'd struggle and fail miserably.
Perhaps should have added (4) paranoia due to past bullying.
