stressed to the point of a nervous breakdown. please help?

Question

i am so stressed out right now you cant even imagine. i have so many things on my mind. first is school we had a major test in a medical class i have and you have to make a 90 or you get kicked out but you get one chance to make it up. i got an 88 and have to retake it making a 90 or i get kicked out. im so lost in math because i dont understand the way my teacher explains math. i have a lot of problems at home also which are making my grades drop drastically. i got my progress report yesterday (usually make all a's) i got a D, an F, a C, and a B. no A's at all. my grades have dropped that bad because of all this stress. anyways my problems at home is my mom takes care my grandma who has dementia. it drives her crazy and she takes her anger out on me and has been overdosing on pills and been saying she just wants to die and everything. i almost got in a car wreck yesterday also so im all stressed about that also. you cant even imagine how bad this is. i dont think i can go another day.

i almost had a nervous breakdown in school today because i was so stressed out. i started crying and shaking uncontrollably. i also think i failed my quiz in anatomy today because everything else was on my mind. its all bottled up inside of me and i cant get all this stress to go away. school, grades, problems at home. i dont know what to do but im extremely stressed out and have a huge headache from thinking of it all too much.

also since ive been so stressed out lately my head has started to hurt and i feel really light headed and dizzy.

Answer 1

If I were in your situation, I would make an appointment with the director of the program or other type of official at the school to see what options you might have. Its possible that they might let you suspend your studies for a semester or longer, or offer some other type of assistance.

You may also need to accept the possibility that you might not succeed in the program. Develop a 'plan B' in the event you don't succeed. Sometimes just knowing that there's a way out with plan B eliminates the stress, and you can get back on track.

Good Luck! I was a complete failure in college my first try - i quit school, worked a few years and then returned to school. On my second try, i was always at the top of the class.

Answer 2

Talk to someone immediately tomorrow that has major authority in your program..... the HEAD Person.....if you have

to wait hours to personally talk to that person...... Calmly wait.. Calmly speak.... Do not tell just everyone.

Instead of taking test in this state of mind.
Stop.........relax..........

Nothing is worth feeling like this........

Do not mess up your grade history any further so possibly you could be accepted back at later date...
.
If you have to reapply later maybe get a letter of recommendation from someone that is aware or your situation and that it is beyond your control might work. ..
Figure out who to talk to tomorrow...
Ask for private meeting about your severe immediate family crisis....
Tell him you must take a leave for a short time and ask right out that you need to be considered at a later date and ask for his or her help..
Stay calm... tomorrow will be better.
..........Free yourself tonight .............

Your Mom should not be burdening you at this time... She is very wrong to be telling you all this...
Since she is burdening you , decide to forget her needs right now and do not contact her ....or..... quit the program for now, but make someone aware of your circumstances..
Pray until you can calm yourself and lay down and rest.

My Mom always pushed my buttons when I was in college too. They burden us too much sometimes....
I finally had to let mine argue with herself and not me anymore. She always has had one crisis after another that I was supposed to fix for her.....
I let her upset my life until I was 37 and now I am 52 and
happily married and she is still unhappy and still fussing, but not at me. I no longer allow her to upset me . We no longer talk..... good decision for me.
