I'm not sure if I have anything wrong
with me and I don't really know how to
begin... I just moved to college last
month for the 1st time. I've always had
sleeping problems for as long as I can
remember (can't fall asleep, can't stay
asleep through the night, restlessness),
but it seems to be getting worst. I also
get at least 3 or 4 migraines a week (many
normal headaches in between, at least one
a day.) i'm extremely stressed. I'm in
veterinary school. I have no life, all I
do is study, and i'm doing poorly...As
well as mostly everybody in my classes.
I don't party, I don't really leave my
dorm room, I just sit on my bed with my
books. I used to only work weekends, but
my job doesn't schedule me anymore...So I
have no income...Which also adds to my
stress.
I went to my doctor about all my problems
(sleeping, migrains, stress, constant
feeling of failure because i'm doing
poorly) and she told me my migraines are
caused from my stress and lack of
sleep...And my lack of sleep is caused by
my stress.
she said there was nothing wrong with me
and that I should take up yoga to relax.
My school doesn't offer yoga and I
definently can't afford $100 a month for
yoga, even if I did work weekends and had
some income. I'm digging into my savings
just to put gas in my car and car
insuance. My school is in the middle of
the country, so there is nothing
immidiately close by.
I'm wondering if I have some sort of
depression? Is it just my anxiety? Some
days (like today...On a weekend..) I can't
even motivate myself to get out of bed.
I just lay in my bed stressed out, mind
racing, with a migraine. Sometimes I
don't even have energy to lift the covers
off myself.
