I am so stressed and unhappy.

I am at college at the moment and have loads of coursework to finish and I can’t do it because I don’t have the time. I am currently dieting as I weigh 17 stone and have to visit the gym 3 times a week. I suffer from depression and anxiety also. Please help me!!

17, I do health and social care which is double A level, as well as two other a levels. I know how lucky i am but i just cant help feeling like this. I have experienced a lot of bullying which has caused my whole confidence to self destruct and i have no friends at college, i just feel like i dont fit in.

Health is soo hard. Most of it is coursework which gets done at home and i normally leave it to the last minute cos im doin other work. Then they go on about how we should be lookin over our notes when they spring a test on us, but when do we have the time?

i really feel for u, i remember feelin more or less exactly the same at your age and i can tell u now it will get better, i actually studied health and social care 2 at ur age! Its not the most fun thing to study, its not the be all and end all though. Have u been to the doctor about ur stress and anxiety.

Of course you fit in.Every human in this entire planet fits in anywhere(unless you did something bad),everyone at most or all colleges are mature and are most adults so you shouldnt need to worry to much about friends at college.Whoever bullied you must have terrible luck.and also you should make room for free time in your life.

I just feel like i will never lose weight and nothing is going how it should. Its hard to be the person i want to be when ive been told im nothing when ive grown up. Ive been called everything from ‘fat *****’ and have been bullied behind my back as others made a joke out of me. Ive even been physically abused. Its hard to forget all that!!

i can imagine how hard it is for u, but u seem like a lovely girl, and very pretty, trusts me it will get better, try to think positively about urslef and look after urslef, also i used to find i would get bloated and tired and everything else and i went to see a dietician type person and i found out i had food allergies, as soon as i changed my diet i felt so much better, i only say this coz this may help with ur tiredness and food intolerences can cause this.

You’re so pretty.
Don’t be depressed.
Is it possible that you become frustrated and depressed because youre expecting instant results on your dieting?

Why not try to cut down on intake, continue your gym but don’t hit the scale for a month, that way you dont think about it daily. You might be surprised after a month.

As for school work, do the same thing, don’t worry too much about the future exams, etc.. just think about what you have to do today and complete it.
Time will pass it is evietable, before you know it youre already about to graduate.

Best of luck girl!

Walking and doing housework is the best exercise for losing fat and ensure that your diet does not include any high calorie foods. Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. From http://myweight.info

Worrying is a bad habit, you need to overcome it like any other bad habit. Try to modify the factors under your control, that is the only thing you can do. From http://mshn.org/worry.html
