in need of strength

Need to muster up the strength to make it through these last two weeks of classes for the semester. I'm struggling a lot. I'm really stressed about all of these huge assignments that are due, and tests that I will be taking. A part of me doesn't know if I can do it, but then another part of me is saying, come on, you've made it through the semester so far, you're almost done, you can do it! I'm wanting to give it my best shot, but I don't know how good that is going to be this semester, with all of the struggles I've been having, so I'm just going to have to accept whatever it is I can do.

I can't even think ahead to next semester and wonder how I'm going to make it through that semester as well...but somehow it will work out. I hope. These are the moments that make us stronger people. If I make it through these next two weeks, I'll know some more about my own inner strength. Just need to get to work, and stop procrastinating. Try my best, even though it is hard to concentrate.

I am in the EXACT same position as you. The next two weeks are crucial and they feel never-ending but with all the stuff I have left to do I also wish time would just slow down. School and depression are NOT a good combination. But we'll get through it!! Just do your best and try to make a little time for yourself over the next couple of weeks. Maybe reward yourself with something nice like a bubble bath. My personal treat is a cup of hot chocolate before bed.

Good luck!

thanks justfloating I wish you the best of luck as well, and completely agree: depression and school, not a good mix, but we can make it!!!

Sending you the strength of knowing the people here are rooting for you. Good luck!

Graciemi ~ I remember those last 2 weeks from my college days. You say you have discovered some inner strength, so I'm betting you can call on it now. Just copy your notes over and over and say them out loud. That way you have 3 senses involved in remembering - tactile, visual and auditory! Make it a game if you can - see how much you can remember in your study area, and forget about the test. Anything challenging can be a game. I am grateful that you are still young enough to be going through this education struggle, but I do know that school is a stressful time, if you take it that way. Caring about YOUR struggles and knowing you CAN DO IT! billieJ

I'm in the same boat too so you're not alone! And I'm under a HUGE amount of pressure right now because not only is it the end of the semester, it is the end of my college career!! I graduate in two weeks! BUT I need to finish up my classes...and the stress is so overwhelming I feel like Im going to mess it up somehow....I skipped class today =( I just don't know what I'm doing....grrr
