anxious about college

hey, you are not alone! im 21 and in my final year of college with plans of going on to do my MBA at a top business school. now that im stricken with anxiety which came out of nowhere for me, i am ALL THE TIME 'anxious about being anxious' its for no particualr reason but i just feel that way and it messes with my entire day, i cant concentrate and i just want to stay in my apartment and sleep. however..

I have nothing more to add except to highlight what he has said..this is not about making a real choice, this about being anxious and eager to perform in order to mollify your self doubts..that's where a counselor can help.

I am a bit of a worrier by nature and I have been consumed with fear and paranoia about having sex(even w a condom ,oral def out of the question) with anyone new after my last boyfriend for fear of STDS. My doctor has made me extremely paranoid about stds, which is only magnified by my anxiety issues. I am worried mostly about herpes because it is something my doctor brought up to me recently, and honestly, something I'd never given much thought to before.

I get my anatomy scan on August 22nd and I'm anxious to know the sex of the baby how can I keep my self busy to time can stop standing still???? This always seems to be the slowest part of pregnancy!!!!!

I've spent about four semesters at my community college. I've dealt with a LOT of depression and anxiety and not the 'usual' kind. In the process of that, I haven't done so well in school…no matter how hard I tried. Transferring to present time, I've been feeling very good, and grades are getting to where they are suppose to be. Now my only problem is, I don't know what I want to major in.

I never had anxiety until I started college. It's like I'm constantly stressed out. I work full time and also have a teenager. Sometime I feel like I shouldnt be stressed but I always feel overwhelmed. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm hoping it goes away I'm almost done with school YAY!

Hello, About 2 Month's ago I had broken up with my girlfriend, during the weekend after we had broken up I had sex with two women one of which was unprotected and she was white if it makes any difference. The other women I had sex with was black but we had protected sex and I had unprotected oral with both of them. About 3 weeks after those two particular sexual incidents I had unprotected oral with another women who was a csw, 2 weeks after I noticed a small herpes type lesion on my penis.

Anyone who goes to uni (also known as college) with anxiety? I do! On a regular basis. Some days im fine some days in uber anxious..!! Would like to hear from people in a similar situation. Thanks!

I go to a college where there is a very large population of trans/non-binary people, so my past thoughts about it seemed fairly normal. For some reason, this time it has stuck and has made me incredibly anxious. 3 months ago I was having a lot of anxiety about whether I was sick or not all the time, and now it seems like I've moved onto this. I started seeing a therapist when these thoughts came on and she has helped tremendously with CBT treatment.

So when my Winter break started I started to feel less stressed, but still had anxious feelings not as bad as it was. But yesterday first day back to college, I felt anxious for no reason in school. I guess it was because college reminded me of all crap I've been through, so when I came home that day I felt so overwhelmed like I was gonna cry but I didn't.

Omg.. I start my fall classes in August some thing... I go everyday.. I am nervous when it comes to going to school with a huge belly. Right now I have online classes but this time I have to get in person classes... wah I have a one year old too which I'll be taking to daycare.. anyone else out there nervous about it: ( I won't be driving,that's for sure so I'm taking the bus.

I'm 15 days away from having my baby, but I'm getting so worried since I'm still in college. Anyone else in school and about to have their baby? Suggestions for staying caught up while I'm out of class?

I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant with my second. I've been to college before but I so desperatly want to go back. I know it will be hard with a 4 yr old and a new born but I feel like I owe it to them and myself. I'm going tomorrow to sign up, I'll be able to take a 5 week leave after the baby is born. I just need some words of encouragement and someone to tell me it is possible for me to reach the goal. I'm going for Medical Assistant.

I'm due December 24th with my 1st child. It's going to be a girl. I'm in my last semester of college, things are tough, but I know once I'm done, I'll have a little one to meet.

In my past I have had several unprotected sexual encounters with different men. The last one was about 3 years ago. To my knowledge none of these guys have been with other men, injected drugs, or have been diagnosed with HIV. For 2 years now I have been in a committed relationship and recently the stupid sexual decisions of my past have begun to haunt me. I have been on the internet for the past week scaring myself half to death and decided yesterday to go and get tested.

I'm 21and first will be here any day and yes I'm going to college... Being pregnant in college isn't so bad... Use the time you would have spent on partying to study and your amazing grades week get you a scholarship... Find other mommy friends on your campus to give you tips....talk to professors about your situation and they may cut you some slack on attendance add long as you are maintaining your grades.... Get a pump.. ..

Do any of you guys go to college online? I'm looking for a new school.. I tried university of phoenix and didn't like it, I'm going for my bachelor's degree ..any suggestions on schools?

We did Baby Wise with our first. it was good. He slept through the night (about 6-7 hrs long) at 6 weeks old. Also check out the "doing her nights" chapter in the book "Bringing up Bebe." So good! My first was due the first day of finals week my last semester of grad school. I kept telling him he couldn't come until after that and kept believing and praying he would wait and he was 6 days late. Perfect timing.

Well, I got into some trouble with alcohol. Since freshman year of college (I'm now a junior) I had been getting drunk 3-4 times a week, usually drinking anywhere from 7-25 drinks in a night (I'm a big guy). Once I turned 21, as the oldest of my friends, it became easier to get enough alcohol to black out or get crazy. It seemed like the more we drank, the better the night was, and we were all doing it so it couldn't be a problem.

Im a little confused... You said you were tested? and it was negative? if so what is there to worry about? I'm also willing to bet the girl was joking... What girl is going to come out and say that and risk her reputation at the highschool/college level? If it makes you feel better get tested again.

and a college student with a good gpa, a bright future ahead, a beautiful loving girlfriend, and a great family. I am religious and consider my self attractive at 6 fr. 4 with an athletic build at 205 pounds. I got a scholarship in another country. It all sounds sweet right...well it is...but it isnt. I made the mistake about 4 months ago by getting intoxicated and having sex with a stripper. That was the worst mistake I have ever done in my life.

Yes, I have known oral sex is not a meaningful risk, but what about my concern about those rare subtype/groups ? Where in HK or USA can I get tested for them?

I wanted to go back this fall but my due date is too close to finals so just to be on the save side I'm going to wait until spring semester and keep going from there.

Since this incident, we broke up for unrelated reasons. I have been very anxious about this event to the point where all I do is think of the possibility I have HIV. I have talked to him about it, and he told me that about a month after his last unprotected incident he was tested and was negative--he "swears he's clean". Since this talk, he cut all communications with me, maybe because of my neurotic behavior.
