I hate being sick. Being sick just seems to make everything else that already seems unbearable... just that much worse. Lately i've been making some pretty significant decisions in what i'm going to be taking (i.e. going from a Bsc to a BA) and so that has been so stressful, not to mention that my parents are completly against it and are successfully making me feel like %#@&#! about it. Anyways, tonight i was on the phone with my mom (telling her about my decision) and after I got off the phone i started having another coughing attack, except this on ended up in me bawling and hyperventillating because i got so upset. But it was so scary because i didn't even see it coming, it just happend ... and now i feel like crap, and i have three midterms this week.. and i just can't do it. I can't bring myself to focus on calculus or physics, or whatever. Its just like i can't shut my brain off and just let myself do something because continuously worry or be upset about something. Does anybody have any suggestions on how i can stop these depressive attacks, and focus more on whats important? I've already tried all of the breathing techniques... so i dont know what do do....
