Avatar f tn I have a 20 month old and am expecting my second baby in four weeks:) I've been in college since September and will be going right through until next April.

Avatar n tn She went to a small private college that had a class size of 100 students (about 400 students undergraduate). She coudl test well on written but not on multiple choice things. The smaller class sizes and student body helped her adjust to college life. Well, anyways, I don't know if your daughter is considering college at some point, but there are options out there.
Avatar f tn Never before have I been as confused about who I am, what I want, or even how I feel. Really, I'm at the point know where I'm not even sure I have the motivation to change things--not that I feel I'm capable anyway.I, stupidly, decided to take an online college class this semester. I'm now thinking it was a mistake as I'm obviously not ever going to be able to complete college. My grades were really good but I have so much anxiety over writing papers, it's ridiculous.
Avatar n tn t already, you might consider speaking with someone in the college office to see if there is a professional who they recommend.
441506 tn?1267533765 d encourage her to be careful with the Xanax in particular. That is scheduled and with college students---- you want to make sure she'd not do anything like drink alcohol with it, etc. Zoloft is a great medication and does help a good deal with anxiety. Taking it slowly to get started helps keep the start up side effects to be less. These medications can have some side effects in the begining and they go away rather quickly as the drug gets up and running in the body.
Avatar n tn You will be relieved to hear that dissociative symptoms like this are as common among college students as back ward psychotics. It might be helpful to spend some time with a therapist talking about the impact your mother's illness had on you.
2110632 tn?1334186382 I have seen many adult posts where they were intelligent enough to get through high school, but had a lot more problems in college. I have also had kids in the classroom who were B students and on medication instantly became A students because they could concentrate through a test. All too often, it is accepted for a girl to get B's when she should be getting A's. So question is - were you an A student in high school and college?

Well this video is one of a guy getting college kids to sign to repeal the 2nd amendment. College kids are idiots.
Avatar f tn Hi Sni, what you are experiencing is called life and this happens to most of us, from your acne to social anxiety. In some ways going to school and interacting with other students can be trying as most at that age are pumping with hormones also and egos are exploding. Some students can be very cruel and some very nice. The thing here is that you are in a social environment and have all kinds of personalities poping around you. Try to understand that all these students are the future.
Avatar f tn He started kindergarden in Chicksands, a Air Force military base in England. It was a the District of Georgia we were in. Anyway, I had alot of support there with speech therapy, small muscle therapy and a program that was made for him to attend kindergarten all day. He was not very co-ordinated. They adminstered an IQ test and told me that he had a learning disability. No name, but his non-verbal skills were so far ahead of his verbal skills, that he qualified for a disability.
Avatar n tn He is in his last year of college and has expressed some concern over his loss of concentration, but it is unclear what caused the condition to begin. We also looked into a sleep disorder. In his initial visit it was discovered that he was not going through a REM cycle. The sleep doctor decided that his "clock" was off and would have to be reset. (Like many college students, he would often keep late hours).
Avatar f tn Are you in sports? Calories for college students vary because of differences in physical activity. Make sure your diet is mostly whole foods including low-fat dairy, whole-grains, lean protein, fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and healthy oils. Don't skip breakfast. Don't get in the habit of staying up late, then rush to get to class. You need food to get your metabolism up, your energy levels will be low and you'll be starving and likely to overeat by lunch.
10626389 tn?1412006663 Hey guys! I'm a senior in college this year and I seem to be struggling with my weight. Ever since I transfered to a further campus, I've slowly started packing on the pounds. I don't have access to home-cooked meals, just what they serve in the dining hall or take out/frozen foods. I've recently stopped drinking soda and cut down on the coffee. I try to stay active sad eat more fruits and veggies. But I still get munchies for junk food.

1210912 tn?1268476021 I was recently diagnosed with cyclothymia, among other disorders, and am wondering how others with this disorder have managed as college students. I was enrolled at a local college for the 2008-2009 year and the first semester went great. Next semester, I'm flunking courses, and of course things just went downhill from there. I was hospitalized after a suicide attempt later in 2009 which resulted in me getting treatment.
Avatar m tn Let me start by saying that you are about a year ahead of yourself as far as thoughts are concerned. Were i am living today, your mind is way off in the future. Typical of an anxiety sufferer. But that is something you will have to learn to deal with first. How to do things one step at a time. The step you are taking is here and now. Nor next year or even next week. Try and not get so far ahead of yourself. That only makes the whole problem seem a whole lot worse.
Avatar f tn My daughter began having symptoms of numbness on the bottom of her feet two years ago prior to exams and her highschool graduation. Now in college the symptoms seem to worsen with each episode. She called crying on a train the other night with numbness in feet, legs, arm and back. She cannot feel them at all and are painful and her moble ability is hampered as she trips and falls. All began prior to the previous weeks exams. My daughter maintains a 4.0.

Avatar n tn My dad and uncle both have anxiety, but no one else in the family have ever had any other mental illnesses. Is there a connection between severe anxiety and paranoia? I just feel so off, like I can't concentrate. Hopefully my doctor can refer me to a therapist. But until tomorrow any information would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn I was pregnant my junior year of college, I went full time during my pregnancy and only took 2 classes after my son was born. So now, I took some summer classes to catch up what I missed last semester, and going back full time in the fall and will be graduating next spring with my bachelor's degree. It's not impossible to go to school AND be a mom, but it is hard, especially if you have a job to juggle in there.
1348086 tn?1370783185 In college, I had a really bad panic attack in the middle of a lecture, there were over 200 students in the room, I was sitting just a couple rows from the prof, right smack in the middle, I created quite a scene trying to collect my things and run out of the class in front of everyone. It happened a couple more times, soon I stopped going to class, then to school, then leaving my appartment, out of fear of having more attacks in public. But the only way to get out of it is....
