I am getting ready to apply to colleges in December and before I get on the fast track to college I need to fix a HUGE problem I have. I am paranoid, sensative beyond belief, I worry too much and get stressed too easily plus on top of that when I get over stressed I break down and cry. It's so bad I honestly wonder sometimes if I'll ever find someone who will ever really love me and want to be with me.

I want like most people to make new friends when I get to school, date and just have fun. But I fear that if I dont get over all my issues I'll end up like that lady who lives alone with her millions of cats. So please help! Give advice? Anything?

I am soooo much like that it's not even funny...I was so worried when I went to college. But the great thing about college is that everyone's in the same boat, so it's really easy to make friends even if you're shy. Just be sure to leave your door open so people can come in and introduce themselves!

Very true, also there are counselors at colleges that can help you with these issues without putting you on any weird medication. I strongly recommend looking into a campus counseling service. Good luck!

It's natural to be very worried about school and friends, especially when you're getting ready to attend college.  Most colleges offer free therapy/counseling for students like you.  Look into it and see if it is possible to see one, if not look for one.  They really help you out and can help you calm yourself down when you feel over stressed.  

College at first can be stressful because you're out doing a lot of things that are brand new to you.  I found it was very easy to make friends and as long as you keep going to classes and do the work, it's also easy as well.  I have to warn you though, that college GPA is VERY different from high school.  College gpa literally will mean C = average, so don't get discouraged if you get a C or B.  

Good luck! And if you have more questions, feel free to msg me anytime. :)
