Hi all!
Just for context: I am a college student at a very academically rigorous school. I have been tentatively diagnosed with bipolar II disorder (simply put, last year was a roller coaster). I sing in an a capella group, take 4 classes and a 3 hour lab, and am in a play this semester.

Last week my a capella group held auditions, which took up a ton of time (5.5 hours Tues, 1 hr Wed, 3 or 4 hrs Thurs) and I was also auditioning for the play. I felt stressed beyond my capacity to handle it. Particularly for the play auditions. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, my hands shook before and during auditions and by the end of the week I was exhausted emotionally and physically. I don't know why those things seemed like such a big deal at the time (I kept telling myself "it's ok, not a big deal" but my mind was freaking out... What do you all do when you feel anxiety like this? Do you ever feel as anxious as I did over small things?

Thanks in advance
