I know I've already posted here once tonight, but I just can't handle all of this. My fiance, who has been visiting his brother in Tennessee for the past month, is now convinced that he can't come back to Canada. And he's enrolling in the military or something, and I don't know what's happening. I read all of this in his status and subsequent conversation of Facebook, and he hasn't really said anything to me. And now I don't know what to do. And I REALLY can't focus at all on my paper now (and it's due tomorrow). And my thoughts are racing through my head faster than I can write. Help . . . . :'(

Ok, I'm chewing gum, and I haven't in over a year (because it makes me sick and it's really not that good for you). Not that this is a big deal to most people, but the only reason I chew gum is because I'm extremely stressed and need something to take mind mind off of my other thoughts. Well, it's not working, I really want to hurt myself, in any way possible right now, but I know I can't do that. And now I'm going into a panic attack and can't keep my thoughts straight at all . . .

First thing tomorrow I have to go to class and hand in this assignment that I'm not even close to finish. Then I have to work on a group presentation and go to another class before I come home. When I finally get home at 4 I need to study for my midterm on Wednesday that I'm going to fail (so I don't really see the point in studying anyways). I don't really think I can talk to him tomorrow. I'm too stressed and would probably just end up yelling at him and making things worse because I can't think clearly.

Go talk to your teacher and ask for an extension. Lay it all out. They will most likely understand.

Call your group and tell them you have having a meltdown and cannot make the meeting and set up a time for you to catch up later.

Then call him and ASK for an explaination. Once you get angry, you both lose so keep your head...

Then at least stare at your notebook for the midterm the next day. You may be surprised what diffuses into your head even if you are not paying attention.

At least, that's what I would do.
