OT: I'm Having A Rough Night!

[lost_n_justin's_smile]

I'm just SO stressed over all this work I have to do, and I don't handle stress well at all. When I get stressed, I cry, become frustrated and basically freak out. I told my parents I need to come home this weekend to kind of clear my head and get out of here for awhile, but they don't seem thrilled because I was just home this past weekend. They're letting me come home, and I truly think I need that, but I'm afraid it's gonna be a miserable weekend if they're mad at me for wanting to come home again.

:(

Aww, Lanie I'm sorry. *hugs*

I don't know.... I had a REALLY hard time going back to school after coming home, so maybe you'd be better of staying at school?

Do they have any activities that take your mind of stress on campus?

I don't know...only you know what's right for you.

I just hope you feel better soon and know that I'm always here for you. :love:

Kate, the campus is 80% commuter, so it's practically dead on weekends.

Head over to UD then. ;)

Or just chill in your room on the computer, watching TV, or just doing nothing. :)

LOL!

That would be a good idea, except we only get like 6 channels on our T.V.:D.

[Katlin]

Aww for real? That's sucky.

We get way more channels than I could ever need. ;)

Lanie, check your pm's! :)

I had a problem a lot like this when I first started college. I would think that if I went home for the weekend it'd make me feel better, but the truth was that it only rarely does, and I just got disappointed at both myself and everyone at home. And when I was at home, I kept thinking that I just want to get back to the school, but nothing's changed there either.

The worst part was how absolutely no one seemed to understand how frustrating it was. My mom never sees me at school so she's keeps thinking that the way I act at home on the weekends is how I'm acting all the time, etc etc.

I agree that focusing on getting your life at school a little more enjoyable takes a lot of the edge off:).
