On top of that I'm having boy problems with a guy that I've had a thing on and off with and he is paying me dust currently, so that's really adding to the stress  ....
I really wish I had someone to talk to but I don't wanna go to a counselor or whatever at school because who knows what they'll diagnose me with and put me on, my friend went through that **** and he's on meds now  |
there's nothing wrong with being on meds if you have a legit mental disorder though. and a lot of people aren't really aware that they have a disorder until they talk to someone else about it, because they just think of how they think/feel as normal. i don't know if your friend actually did have a disorder or not, but it's not necessarily bad. also, they're not allowed to force you to take meds if you don't want to unless you're a severe danger towards yourself or others.
although when it comes to school counselors, they're honestly only really helpful if you have very typical issues that most college students go through. they couldn't really help me because i have a mental disorder, which makes my problems a lot different than average, and they just don't know what to do in those situations. so it's a good idea to go if you're going through severe stress, anxiety, or low self-esteem, but other than that it might not be that helpful.
i know i screwed up my computer science test, one of my essays came out terrible and it's worth 15% of my grade, i was off of one of my medications because the pharmacy screwed up and it made me sleep for 16 hours and miss my environmental science lab, and i had a bit of a mental breakdown last week because of the stress honestly :|
Now I have one week of this semester left and then my exams start. So this week is okay, I think I'm done with all the projects, but exams are gonna be blood bath... My exams officially end on June 10th, but I'm flying to the US for a whole summer on June 3rd.
