Seriously. I took mine; it made things bearable when I thought they wouldn't be. If your medication has unpleasant side-effects or otherwise isn’t working for you, go back to your doctor and ask them for a different type. There are dozens. Try them on like shoes until you find one that fits.
I have anxiety and I would be dead, six feet under the ground DEAD, if it weren't for my medication.
If you truly wish to succeed that is one, very easy, way to help yourself. Take your medication as directed. Don’t self-sabotage.
PANIC creates more PANIC. So stop panicking. Do whatever it takes to calm yourself down. Take deep, long breaths. Take a long bath. Take a nap. Drink tea… whatever does it for you. Then sit down with your work calendar and your school calendar and start to figure it out. If you can’t figure it out, enlist the help of someone you trust to help you work through your stress and really get this shit down on paper.
Or even better, go to a counselor at your college and enlist their help. They can be phenomenally helpful in teaching you to balance this stress and sometimes, in assisting you with dealing with.
I promise you, if you sit around and stress about this, it will only get worse. If you tell yourself that it is impossible to do and you are going to fail, then you are going to fail. If you can’t find the solution yourself, find someone who can help you talk through it.
And for Christ’s sake, give your medication a fair try. It can save lives. It can make lives worth living. It’s part of being responsible. Accept it. Try it. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
