Panic attacks can be scary...
Especially if you don't know what to do when one comes along. It seems like these mini psychological break downs are becoming more common in my life, and I'm not even the one experiencing them first-hand. I guess I better get used to them though. There may come a time when I'm experiencing one every other day, with my clients.
The life of a college kid can be extremely stressful, no matter what you try to do to minimize the stress in your life. As a student, the stress is unavoidable. Whether you're a full-time student with a full-time job, or a mother trying to go back for her degree, or a student who was lucky enough to get a full-paid scholarship, or a student who only has to work just enough to have a little extra money, it's going to be a stressful time. That's what college is all about.
Roommates can be difficult to handle. Especially when your roommate happens to be one of your best friends. After almost two years, I see why people say never live with your best friend. You spend all of your time together as roommates and all of your time together as best friends and at the end of the day, its simply too much time together to be healthy for your bond, no matter how strong. There was a time when I thought nothing would ever tear us apart, and now it seems like we're tearing ourselves apart at the seams. We may be different, but that has never gotten in the way until now. I guess that's part of growing up.
Relationships can be hard. But I hear they're worth it. I wouldn't know, if I'm being honest. I try as hard as I can and it doesn't seem to be enough. Some people tell me its just not the right time. When will it be the right time? I've been waiting for a really long time and my patience is beginning to run low. I'm not sure what more I need to do or say to make him realize. I never thought I would fall for someone like him. And now I think, why wouldn't I fall for someone like him? He's amazing. Except that he doesn't seem to see what I feel every time he even looks at me, even after I've told him everything.
In the end, it doesn't matter how stressed or angry or upset or hurt or tired or scared you are... life goes on.
At the end of the day, we're still human. And we're still lucky to be here to live the life we do. The least we can do is be thankful for the opportunity to be stressed.
