Hey dear don't beat your self up about it, It happens, First thing I want you to do is get out of your room. Ok well depending on situation and time there. Go run, Just run till you can't run to whear you have no time. If you can take phone with ear phones and songs that is not depresing some cool uplifting songs with you, run to a park or somthing chill on the swing and just breath take your time take a moment to think of yourself till you feel better. If you don;t feel good, nothing will help with the studies.

Apposionata is right; if you're able to, get out of there and do some exercising or just hang out with whatever family you have there til the urges get less intense so you can better control them.

If you can run DO IT.
First you have nothing to harm ypuorself with
Then when you do get home you will be to tiered to be abel to do it.
And if you get your heart rate up your body realies endorphins Wich is your bodys natural chemical that makes you happy. So most probably half h later you will feel better. I can acktuly tel you to try and go run atleast 15 mint every day in long run it will make you feel great
