I'm trying to do this program is very difficult because I'm a full time college student and I have enough homework as it is. Which brings me to my next problem. I HATE COLLEGE! I want to get out of college because I hate it so much. I'm lonely and I have no friends. Plus my relationships with everyone back home are starting to fall apart. I cry everyday and when I start it's very hard to stop. I hate my life and I want out but I don't think there is a way out.

just keep your head up. My situation is similar to yours. Just fake it 'til you make it. There is just too much in life to experience. I am contemplating a tough decision as well, whether I should resign from my church and disappoint my family. I actually posted a topic on this, spending countless hours on it, and I don't know where it is now. I should have copied/pasted elsewhere. O well. We learn from our mistakes.

I put everything on my ipod. I can listen to it as I go around my daily. What would you rather have..all the stress and anxiety get to you...or try it out?

I'm trying...

Hey DepressedDiva,

Yes you can do this. I think the simple truth is that you ARE doing this. Look at you posting here in the forum. That is you doing what it takes.

I do know that college can be overwhelming. I graduated in 2008. Looking back I am amazed I got through it. I was constantly letting negative thoughts distract me from my tasks. I wish I had the program back then. My grades would have probably been better.

Just think, if you stick it out in the program next semester will be easier. In fact, next month will be easier and most likely next week will be easier.

I have only been using the program for three weeks, but already my mind feels calmer. Yours will too.

I'm a full time college student,I understand. This is my first week on the program. I know everything will get better. I miss my family and I'm lonely too. My boyfriend just broke up with me, but I believe in this program and it will work wonders. I do not want to live the rest of my life with anxiety and panic attacks. I am going to learn the tools and I know it will help with the stress of college and every else. Everything will come together for you.

Hey girl!

I recently graduated with my bachelor of Arts and I can relate to how hard college is. I can imagine that it would be very hard to do this program and your school work all at once.

My advice to you would be to take the time that everyone else spends getting drunk and partying (like thirsty thursday) to work on this program. And feel good about yourself because you're actually doing something productive and they are not!!

Also, I really liked the comment that Ijustwantchange made.... Put it on your ipod and listen to it while you're walking to and from classes... Or go to the library, find a comfy chair and just listen... Then maybe once you're done with your session you'll be in the right place to get some homework done! :] You can do it! Think positively (as hard as that is)...

And believe me, you'll be glad you stuck it out through college when you're receiving your degree..

Good Luck!!

I've never partied and gone out to drink...its all the extra appointments I have ontop of school that makes it hard. (Chiropractic, Counceling, etc...)

Hello my name is Tania. I read your message and i just wanted to tell you that you can do this. If I can do this so can you. I am not sure about you but i suffer from generalized anxiety which means everything scares me. I was crying everyday, making myself sick, and just scaring myself to death. I gave this program my all and it works! I was dumb and let it go after i started feeling better. Right now my condo is on it's way to foreclosure, and my credit is getting worse everyday. My symptoms started coming back especially the crying so I am now starting the program over. I know college is hard and time consuming. And if you are away from home it makes it that much more difficult to do. Maybe you don't like college because you don't like your classes. Or maybe you are taking too many classes. When i first started college I was a psych major. I wasn't very happy so I started taking other classes until i found what i enjoyed. I don't want to over whelm you so just know that if you need a friend we are all here to help if we can.

You can do this. You've gotten as far as signing up for the program and logging on to the forums, and you even posted. That is a good start if you ask me. I too have problems with college. Especially my speech class (let me tell you, that is a hard feat for me). My first speech class, during my second speech, i hit the door running and never looked back. Now i'm going through it again and thankfully, i only have one speech left to give. It is very trying and rough at times, but also very rewarding. Please don't think twice about staying in college. You CAN do it. I found myself regretting saving all my dreaded classes for last...because now i'm having to take them all at once. Please learn from my mistake...mix enjoyable classes with not so enjoyable ones so you at least get some kind of personal enjoyment out of school. Also...if you have to only do 3 classes at a time, that is ok! I found myself having to drop down to 3 classes this semester because between government, speech, algebra, and world lit...it was just too much. I'm finding my anxiety is much more maneagable since i dropped government. You aren't alone....there's so many of us here that have the same problem with school. We can do this...we will do this...don't let the anxiety win.

depressed diva feeling the same about the program, i also have no friends, where u from?

nebraska...u?
