Don't know how much more my body can take now...

[TheEssexPrincess1994]

Since I got diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety, I have suffered with many various mood swings throughout the past few months, some days it becomes a struggle to get out of bed and I struggle to keep a 'straight face' on when I am among my peers at college. There have been several instances where I have had a surge of emotion that has caused me to breakdown in front of staff who have never seen me like that, there have been days where I just feel like giving up BUT something stops me from doing just that, I have turned round to my counsellor and stated 'It's a complete miracle that my body hasn't collapsed yet from the amount of stress I am under with everything college wise. I don't know if my mental body can take anymore

Oh dear. College can be such an incredibly stressful time, I remember it well. Are you able to pinpoint what aspects are causing you the most stress? There are options to submit assignments late if you get a note from your doctor. Tutors don't actually want students to fail, and most are very supportive of those experiencing difficulty. I'm glad that the counselling service is supporting you, what help are you getting from the GP? X
