:(

i understand that completely. I am going to a music college and its like whenever i am not practicing i am eating or thinking about eating. Its like eating is a way to control what is going on around you and when you cant control what is going on in front of you like college stuff you cling to something that you can control.
It makes me really sad too though because then i just start to think about my weight...and thats no good i dont want to care about that lol.

I've found that when I am freaking out and shying away from things that it helps if I make a deal with myself. If I just start whatever project and then stop as soon as I feel overwelmed and do something I enjoy it makes it a bit easier.

I have found that when it comes time to get a big paper done, or exams are coming, it helps me to go to the school library and work. I have no distractions (food, tv, smoking, kitty) and I have everything there that I need to get down to business. Trust me when I say that I have been close to dropping out more than a few times. I am really low on motivation at times, but you just have to try different methods to find something that suits you and motivates you. Also, remind yourself that there isn't a whole lot that you can do in this world without a college degree. Of course, everyone, I know that there are exceptions with some people, but it is a really tough world without an education!

hey i know the feeling, I have felt the same way this semester, but just think it will soon be over and you will get a break, I am here if you need a friend

thanks for the reminder. I'm going to study now- I definately need to keep in mind some of these things you mentioned and not think about failure too much!

you sound just like me--so much 2 do this semester so little time left--and i too have been binge eating

yeah i had a big binge tonight over it. It's not only the fear of failing up coming exams but me beating myself up about the questions I just know I got wrong in the already passed ones. There's so much energy and anxiety that goes out to it and little left for myself and overcoming the binge eating...

I am taking intermediate algebra in college. I cant take it anymore. I want to quit. I am barely holding a C. I just cant get it together. I just cant understand it. Is there something wrong with me. I am so stressed my stomach hurts, I cant eat, I cant sleep. I have a test tomorrow. I just want to cry. I cant take it anymore. I know it test anxiety I have had it before. Can Anyone please give my some advice. Or does anyone know intermeadiate algebra to help me. I am going to lose it. I know how you feel trust me

A thing that has helped me reduce my stress a lot is thinking of what you have to do in smaller bits rather than one big impossible task. It's been easier to set smaller goals one after another, and it boosted my confidence a lot.
Give your semester some significance. At the very least you'll probably have learned how not to let this happen in the future. You can do it.

i wish i could give you some advice but i myslef gave up on all my classes this semester. it was a complete and total waste of my time and money. i hope it all turned out well for you and yo stuck with it.
