I can't take it anymore

This week has gone really badly for me. I had a 5-7 page paper due (worth 25 points , which was ridiculous), forgot to turn it to turnitin.com (luckily i was able to do so after class), got a D on a math quiz, did poorly on another math quiz, and have been up until 2 o clock every night doing homework. My math sub has doubled our homework nightly. I've been exhausted, crying daily, and unable to eat and sleep. I've lost weight since I've been so stressed and I look like s---. Oh yeah, I reported something to the Resident Assistant nd now feel like I'm the floor b----. I work late nights (until 1:30 am) on MOndays, which is not helping. The people on my floor are not following the rules and now we're all going to get fined. They're loud, some have screaming fights, and aren't picking up after themselves. Everytime I've made plans to do something this week my friends have canceled.

I just really need someone physically to talk to . I've talked to a friend online but nothing is helping. I went to the RA the other day, but now feel guilty. I don't want to burden anyone, and she is busy and having troubles as well. I don't think i'll ever go to her again. I just want someone to pretend they cared, just ask how I am doing. Right now, I could run through the building on fire and no one would care. On the other hand, I want to pretend to be fine as not to burden anyone.

I'm not though and I dont think I can take much more of this. I have a math test with ms. picky professor thursday and a midterm the next week. I'm about to lose it and don't know what t o do anymore.

Sorry this is so long. i Just had to rant.

*Understands* Don't lose it. Really really it won't help you at all. Just, set things out, work through everything you have to do and remember you're good at what you're doing. Just keep going and work through it. And rant as often as you feel like it. And as for the rest of the people on your floor, just lose your temper with them and tell them to sort things out and stop it. Just, you'll be fine in the end. *Hugs*

I know EXACTLY how you feel. College has a tendency to make you feel like your world is spinning out of control. I knwo how hard it is-- I juggle school, work, and practices, on top of whatever else comes up during a week. There will be days, or weeks, where you feel like you have no control over anything.

As for reporting something to the RA-- you need to do what you feel is right. If they are doing something that bothers you, or that is going to cost you money and you weren't involved, then who cares what they think; I'd report them too!

And trust me when I say you need to eat and take care of yourself, or else things will get worse-- trust me-- been there, done that and it wasn't pretty. Taking a deep breath sounds like a cliche thing to say, but it does help. Take a break every now and then when you're studying, that helps too. There are tons of other things you can do to level everything out, but I don't have room to type them all (so feel free to email/PM me!).

Anyway, I'm really sorry you are feeling this way, and I hope that we can help make you feel better! *big hug!*

Thanks alot. I'm feeling much better. I'm eating and sleeping a lot better. I had a math test this week and I don't think I did that well but I'm sure I did much better than everyone else (which is sad).
