Stressed Beyond My Psychotic Mind's Boundaries!!!

[Kasumi]

Alright. Here's the stupid problem I have that probably none of you can comprehend because I am apparently the oldest on this site. I am college bound and have like nothing to calm my anxiety problems.

College is the first day of the rest of a person's life and I feel really overwhelmed. My roommate at the college seems OK, but she hates YGO [insert long angry rant here]. Sure, she likes anime/mangas in general, but not any (besides the occasional Naruto) I have ever heard of. I'm desperate for a roomy with YGO fanatic-syndrome like me and perhaps a lighter schedule!

Also, this is my first real time away from home for a long time. I'll be away for about 6 days a week and I'm worried that something will go wrong. The health problems that I have seem to take over my life sometimes and limits my fun alot. Being on my own for the first time is something that I was not looking forward to. I'll be 45mins away from home and I know it doesn't seem like much, but I am a worrier by nature and my G.A.D. doesn't help with it.

When I say G.A.D., I mean generalized anxiety disorder as in the mental problem. I had something happen two years ago and it gave me this problem along with P.T.S.D. (post traumatic stress disorder) Ever since then, I have a hard time when I'm in certain situations. I can't feel comfortable around people, having my back to people, or even being without familiar surroundings. It's such a big pain and I know that most people can't seem to comprehend my problems unless they have them too. I just really wish that they had a permanent cure for these things...or a time machine to go into the past by five years to prevent the issues that triggered them!

Alright. I think I'm done complaining for now and I think that most of you may not care about what I have vented here, but I just needed to get this out. If there is anything you can think of to help me, please reply and I'm hoping to survive my first week as a college freshman. I start on the 25th of August and would appreciate any help I can get! Thanks for caring and a big thanks to therichnobody for putting a venting spot on the site!

Wow sounds like alot but I would say not to worry to much and all should be fine, and don't forget you still have all of us here to talk if you ever feel uncomfortable you can always vent again. It might actualy bring down your stress levels and if you can't get to a comp or just too busy then find a small time period and just write about it and all your problems and things you felt stressed about it should make you feel better, also you can always call and talk to your family members as well of possibly just send letters to friends and what-not.As for the uncomfortable thing around others is something i can relate, of course i have my own way of coping but everyone has their own way. Personaly I pretend i'm always being proteced by some anime charatcer..for some reason that works for me..i don't know why......you gotta love this venting spot..

Well, I have to thank you for offering me that advice. I have to leave in like three days and I'm not ready. I actually cried myself to sleep just thinking of leaving everything that is familiar to me behind and all. It's nice to know that Psycho School has people like you to help me get through this. You people rock! Wish me luck on Saturday!
