Maybe u need to stand up for yourself. U r in college so I assume u r over 18. U don't need that type of stress in your life.

There are free counceling online. Have you try that?

This sounds similar to my interactions with my parents during my college years! However, as more time has passed, I've grown to understand their perspective. Does that mean I always agree with it even at this stage? Not necessarily, but that's okay...the understanding is there and it relieves the temptation to react strongly. How old are you parents? I discovered that generational habits come into play more times than not. During my parents era of growing up, one worked full-time and went to school, no questions asked..."Playing" and "enjoying life" was something that only took place once everything else was complete. Work, work, work. So, as they reviewed my choices, even though it was very similar to how they operated at my age, it wasn't enough. The point is....it will probably always come off as nagging to us, because we will always be their children. Even at age 56. This dynamic doesn't change. I think the trick is to take their advice objectively; to understand they ultimately want to set you up for success, so they can see you have an even better life.

As for the breakdown moments, what kind of activities do you like to do? What are some of the ways you can relieve the stress and pressure you feel?
