I'm really bad at handling stress :S

For me it depends on the kind.

I'm terrible with the 'Five things need doing NOW!' stress.

When I'm stressed I just completely ignore what is causing the stress.

Needless to say, this isn't a viable long term solution.

[Arx]

Oh. Yeah, not normally. Consider a task list? I find that breaking things down makes them look a lot less intimidating. "I have seven assignments due on Monday I'm gonna die!" I normally find is best beaten by listing the assignments, prioritising them, and then working out appropriate times to do them.

Your milage may vary, as I constantly say when offereing anyone advice.

[Arx]

See, adrenaline gives me time. I can consistently work from six in the morning until ten at night - but only if I have a whole stack of work that's due very urgently.

I'm weird though.

[Dutchling]

I can do that and still not accomplish anything.

I just have no idea how to even remotely be productive.

I have literally no idea how I'm ever going to finish college.

[BlackFlyme]

Why am I in college?

I don't really want to be here. I feel burnt out. More so than usual. Though I don't know what I would rather be doing.

I'm only really here to get my family off my back. I haven't been trying at all this semester, and my marks reflect that.

My project partners are pissed at me for the above, and I have no idea why they think it's their business.

[Yoink]

Urrrgh. It seems like there's no way to get anywhere in the modern world without either mooching off people or filling out assloads of pointless, unnecessary paperwork purely for the sake of... what? I'm not even sure anymore. Why the hell did foetus-me have to be dumb enough to go getting born. Ugh.

[IronTomato]

I feel inexplicably terrible. People keep saying that I'll be able to move out soon and I won't have to deal with this shit anymore, but it's becoming increasingly obvious that isn't true. The years are supposed to start going by faster, but instead a day feels like fucking forever and I hate every second of it. This is never going to end. Even if I move out, I am inevitably going to continue to be judged and controlled by my mother, my father will continue to live vicariously through me, and my brother will continue to condescend and torment me while everyone else sits back and watches, laughing. Everyone who I meet will continue to ignore me, take advantage of me, use me as a scapegoat, and I will continue having no friends or anyone to talk to because I am too afraid of other people to be close to anyone. I will never stop suffering.

I feel you.
Actually becoming independent seems to be pretty much impossible, at least where I live. There's always someone screwing you over, making you jump through hoops and fill out forms and divulge your personal information for their amusement. There are always people with their claws in you, so that you can't move or change your situation or do anything to improve your life without paying them off first.

I hope you manage to improve your situation to the point that it isn't so hard to cope with.
At the very least you will be someday able to move out, and choose just who you have to put up with causing problems for you.
No reason you're stuck living with your family for the rest of your life, you are an independent person. Well, kinda.

Not really. Obviously I'm too young to move out today, and I am going to move out the second that I turn 18, what I'm trying to say is that it won't solve anything.

You may think that now, but you won't know for sure until you go out and try it. And what's the alternative? Live with your crazy-ass family the rest of your life?

[Dutchling]

Why would you stay in contact with your family once you move out?

[IronTomato]

Why would you stay in contact with your family once you move out?

Well Dutchling, I thought I had made it clear that I would make an honest attempt to isolate myself from them and preferably never see any of the people I currently know ever again, but I know that will just end in them guilting me into coming back, like what my parents have been doing to my half-brother ever since he moved out.

EDIT: Also, I will inevitably meet new people wherever I might go, and they're going to do the exact same shit to me as the people here, which is what I was trying to say in my first post up there.

EDITEDIT: Yeah, I'm basically saying that it seems like everyone has it out for me, and use me as more of a punching bag who needs to be tormented and hated more than an actual person. I feel like a stereotypical angsty teenager saying that, which is what B12 is going to think when they read this, since quite a few of them listen to me as badly and make as many assumptions about me as everyone else I know, even if they do respect me.

It's been 5 days, and I'm still sick. I can't eat anything without having to make a dash for the bathroom within 4 minutes, and now I'm sure I've begun to loose weight. Can't skip class either, already missed too much.

Go to the doctor. Probably have the stomach flu.

Had that a while ago.

Needed to get an IV and spend the night at the hospital.
