Ugh. Finals were always hard for me in college. I don't know if you are a perfectionist or not but I was, at least when it came to grades, which made the finals even more stressful, and when I got in the higher level courses for my major, where you had more one-on-one time with the professor, I be freaked because these were the people I'd need to give me letters of recommendations to graduate school. A lot of the time, my ED got worse before finals, except the semester I graduated. I had re-gained weight. I am sure I still had the ED thoughts, but I am normal weight in all the pictures I have of my college graduation, so I must have stopped many of the ED rituals then.

Sorry, I don't remember exactly. that was 20 years ago. I graduated Dec. 2000 and am 40 years old now.
