The group work doesn't start till end of March. But there will be other group projects with assigned group members by the teacher.
How do I stop over dosing when I am stressed/anxious/paranoid?
Second issue or worry.........
I have made a friend a college and we get along good. I mentioned something I shouldn't have (it was no big deal nothing major) and later I called this friend to apologize for bringing it up. I asked if "we are ok" and she said yes. But she sounded tired and not her usual cheerie self. So I have been second guessing her response.
How do I stop worrying about such things?

Hmmm ... interesting that you have paranoia. It's not a symptom of GAD or Panic Disorder... what kind of anxiety disorder do you have?
I have GAD and I'm recovering from Panic Disorder. I also have ADHD and am a college student (on break this semester).
I get over anxiety by working on it with my psychologist. It's the only long-term way to do it that I know of. Can't just let things snowball and then take a pill after it gets bad, as it interferes with quality of life.
Do you see a therapist? You can see one on campus for free usually (although I much prefer private therapists). Thoughts?
