Has anyone else's health suffered as a result of college induced stress?

Before this quarter, I didn't really have any problems but this school is tougher than the other two I was at and now I find myself suffering from severe back pain (although this started before I arrived, being in class for between an hour and two and a half hours just agitates it), an ulcer, a rash on my right arm, stomach pain, and an inability to sleep properly at night. Like last night...I was exhausted and went to bed at 12:30 and was out, easily, by 1:00am. Instead of sleeping the whole night through, I only made it to 4:00 before I woke up and then it took me about an hour to get back to sleep and I remember feeling sort of worked up and tense when I first woke up. I also sort of felt as though I'd just been dreaming/thinking of homework and my upcoming finals.

In short, I'm falling apart.

Well, people stress out over college for a multitude of reasons.

1. They're afraid to fail.
2. They really want to do the major they've chosen and need to pass to do so.
3. They're paying a load of money to go to school and merely thinking of all the money they'd lose upon being kicked out sickens them.
4. They're afraid of their parents.
