As you can guess from the title, I am becoming stressed as I prepare to study for final exams. I used to get a 3.7 GPA per semester, but I will be lucky to make a 3.0 this semester. I am trying to finish some homework as I type this, and I know the material, the problems are just difficult. I have made B’s and C’s in my classes this semester, and I used to make A’s and B’s. I am somewhat down that my former friends in engineering (they stopped being friends with me) are getting internships, and now I, a top student, may have to withdraw from school because my psychiatrist continues to push for a “change in environment.” I want to finish my degree, but I don’t feel as though I can go on. I only feel up for momentary periods, but over half the time I feel depressed and down. Any tips for dealing with this stress?
