I just finished my all my midterrms from my 4 intense classes. There was a time that my nails were literally bleeding from biting so much. I really have terrible anxiety. After 2 weeks of intensity, I am in my spring break right now. i slept the whole day to make up weeks of no sleep. But after that, I feel lost like I dont know what to do or how to relax. I tried to reach out to my friends but this year I honeslty felt distant that I feel like I just lost my relationship with anyone. I just feel so isolated.

To feel burnt out is completely normal. Too much pressure and expectations lead to the feeling of being burnout. Despite the fact that school is a challenge, you've manage to still push through doing your very best to succeed. Don't knock yourself when you've come so far. This is not the end but truly the beginning. Continue to rock out and do the very best you can!!!!!!!

I definitely agree with what kylaray_ has said, it is normal to be burnt out after all the hard work you put in. You should try to relax in between all the hard work so that you don't add to your anxiety, maybe have a study session with your friends and some pizza, it could be a way to study and be with your friends.

As for you now feeling isolated, you should feel free to reach out to your friends! They're your friends for a reason and should be there for you as I'm sure you would be there for them. Everyone in college is fairly understanding and we all know how hectic it can be so I'm sure they'll welcome you back to hang out.
