Trust me, I have been there and have failed more classes than not over a year because of it.

Search for counseling resources on campus. My college provides unlimited sessions with psychologists and psychiatrists over the semester for a one time $60 charge. The first "walk in" appointment is free regardless if you have paid for the 'well being' service. The medical clinic was also free and doctors there were willing to prescribe common medications without psychiatric recommendation. They were also pretty well versed in discussing mental health conditions with students. Counseling sessions was tantamount towards me learning how to control my panic attacks that were causing me to leave, miss, and fail classes.

Every campus should have resources available to you!! Look for them! One emergency walk in session may just be enough to give you perspective to get through the next three weeks.

Here's to feeling better. Hugs!

Also: If you are having a difficult time eating please at least try and keep yourself hydrated. I find them dehydration tends to worsen anxiety-like symptoms that would often make me worry. For example, dehydration can give you heart palpitations or give you a terrible headache. If you can afford it, nutrition shakes like muscle milk or pedialite may help you from feeling worse due to food deficiency/hunger/low blood sugar (diabetic or not!!). However, as a college student myself, I don't have the money for that. lol
