-- Posted by Majo at 3:32 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 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. -- Posted by XOallixs0n at 3:34 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 ohmygod! I can't even tell you how sick I've been. Left and Right. My professors are beyond pissed off at me for all of this. =0[ -- Posted by panagma at 3:36 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 My skin is after completely breaking out.. and I've developed gingivitis..

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. -- Posted by goxpens at 9:22 am on Oct. 31, 2008 yes. Im always tired. I have become addicted to sleeping pills bcuz if I dont i dont even hear the alarm clock to get up of a morning. -- Posted by Koopsey at 3:34 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 Not yet.
