I would try to figure out a plan to use the schoolwork to help with the emotional struggles. Are there any of your courses you really like or things you want to learn from them.

I love to organize so sometimes just taking my messes and organizing them and making plans, etc., even if I don't get right to work, the organizing makes me feel better and takes a little of the stress off me; having "must do this!" constantly running around in my head with random details doesn't help me, just makes me crazier and want to run harder.

If I can't concentrate on what I "should" (I have trouble reading textbooks) I kind of page through so see what it covers (read section titles, questions at the end of the chapter, etc.) and get an idea of names and dates and overview and then I take something that catches my interest and just start learning about that, web surfing, my own way. The older we get the less we need other people's organization of how we "should" learn something and I found that if I just play around, I learn what they want me to learn, just not in the order they specified or in the exact detail for each section, etc.

Find real-world applications for what you are supposed to learn and work on understanding that instead of the other way around where you learn the book stuff and then apply it. Most things can be learned and or looked up/researched as they are being used.

Work on thinking of yourself differently than the conventional view; if you work for 3 weeks, then deliberately allow yourself 3 weeks off, perhaps; realize at some point, if you want to finish school, you will so just let yourself figure out the details instead of someone else and their structure.
