It's 3am where I live. I have two papers due today. I have one page left on one, and I haven't started the other which is 7 pages. The first one is due at 8am. I have a final exam to take at that time as well, which I still need to study for. The next is due at 2pm, and I have another final at that time as well that I need to study for too. I know I'll finish the first paper and probably just about study enough for the test, but I'm completely screwed on the second paper and test. My brain is already shutting down. I'm so tired. I worked until midnight tonight. I know I messed up leaving it this late, but I've been busy at work and I didn't think far enough in advance. I'm just so stressed out. I don't think my parents will forgive me this time. I know this isn't really related to bipolar, but I'm so stressed and just know this will send me overboard and wanted to talk somewhere.

Do your best to relax and focus. Getting frantic doesn't help. Your test schedule sounds like an obsessive-compulsive's dream. Or nightmare.

In my undergrad I got into those situations all the time. It is soooo stressful. I had to medically withdraw from school but finished eventually. Now I am on my meds and going for my Master's in Social Work. I am taking it easy and really trying not to freak out. I hope you the best.

Great big hug for you sweetie... Breath and stop beating yourself up... You can't do everything... There's only so many hours in a day...

If you are having a hard time balancing school and working so much perhaps talk with a school councilor about a timetable that you can manage for the new year..

It sounds to me like you have too much on your plate... I hope tonight you can chill and get a good nights sleep....xo

Try not to give yourself a full blown panic attack and do what you can do. In my opinion you shoud study for the exam that you're the least prepared for and just skim the other to get wamed up on it at least. If you run yourself ragged mentally you won't be able to perform on either exam so have a cup of tea, do a little breathing exercise and just do what you can do.
Hopefully this isn't just bullcrap advice but I thought I'd try.
I wish you the very best of luck.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
