> Freaking out about midterms is never fun. I think you’re right: you do need to find some coping mechanisms. Are you still trying to find some therapy? That might help.
I'm not sure where to go for therapy. The counselling centre kind of just dumped me off to this replacement p-doc. I think maybe they didn't want to mess with whatever the p-doc would suggest or something.
> Hey, I had no idea what I was going to do until three years *after* I finished studying. I don’t think you’ve messed up your life. You know, your time as a student is supposed to be fun. There’s no need to worry at this stage about what comes after (yeah, I know I’m old-fashioned).
Ya, you are right, but that doesn't stop me from my freaking out episodes. :-( The weird thing is, I don't think I need to achieve much to be happy...I just want to be happy and relatively stress-free.
>Have you been taking it? It might be just the thing you need to get you through the midterms.Yes, I've been taking it. Last night I thought of not taking it because I though maybe it would harm me, but then I wanted to OD and stuff so I wanted to take it to see if it would calm me down. I think it did.
Thanks so much for the encouragement Tamar. I just hope I can do the same for you. :-)
