Hi Everyone
 It's my birthday today Dec.8th ..... no gifts .... just 2 phone calls. Have a quiz on tuesday morning....group work in the afternoon.......then drive home on the dark icy roads. I have to write a paper by Monday afternoon and do homework/study all weekend long. I feel so stressed out and sad all the time. I need to have a good cry but the tears just wont come if you know what I'm talking about. And I have no one to give me a hug except for my 4 pound dog. And I am resisting the urge to take more medication than necessary or recommended by my doctor. If I didnt have to go to school I would be fully medicated and sleeping.

Happy birthday. I'm really sorry it was not a great birthday, I've had lots of birthdays when I've been alone, and it can feel really lonely. Having added stress at school doesn't help. Keep posting here, becasue remember all of PC is here for you. And good luck with the assignments. --splitimage

Hey Zen... happy birthday. I'm sorry it didn't go as you had planned, but the truth is that you're alive to breathe another day. The world is better because you're here. Believe that. Enjoy the rest of the day.

I have so much homework this weekend that my heart is beating fastly and my stomach is in knots. I'm resisting the urge to over medicate and skip school.
I cried this morning after talking to a lady from the crisis line and my 4 pound dog snuggled up beside me to comfort me. Does anyone have experience with college/university stress? How do you cope? How do you stop yourself from harming yourself? Zen888

Hi,
I understand your feelings completely. I have had severaly birthday that were ignored and I am not alone. I have tried to find ways to celebrate myself or take the time to reflect on what I have to be thankful for. Now we all have each other. Take it from me, taking more medication or not taking it properly will only hurt more. It will not help at all. Do not stop taking your medication because you will go through withdrawal that is worse that you feel not. I was going through a bad time today. That lead me to finding this website. You are not alone.

Zen,
You're not alone. I'm in college as well, and the pressure can seem insurmountable. But you'll be survive. Really. Overmedicating only makes it worse I understand about birthdays. I would give anything to have a birthday cake or a couple of presents. Still, we go on. Be kind to yourself, please, and give my special love to the little dog.
