I feel like life is just really rough right now and I feel like I can't hold myself together lately. Meltdowns are happening a lot and school is difficult, which is only making me more stressed. And I just got an email from my academic advisor about her concern after we just had a positive meeting, two of my profs emailed her after our meeting expressing concerns. She was so disappointed in hearing that I have had trouble going to class. Where as I am trying to go to class and I caught up with all my work (i have been out sick due to being pregnant and having a lot of issues). It's just frustrating I guess. And the reason I don't go to my classes sometimes is because I just break down entirely. I am too afraid to admit that to her and I am also afraid that if I admit that to her she's going to see me as pathetic and crazy OR tell me to drop out, withdrawal from school. But I can't do that. I just can't. I have to finish off the semester, which is only 4 more weeks. I feel like i am falling aprat. I break down almost every morning and I can't function because it's jsut a spiral of darkness. And with all the pains and sickness, I swear it's not normal. Yet, I went to the hospital and they were dumb and treated me like an idiot. I just am fed up. While everyone says are you feeling hte baaby kick and its the normal time to feel the baby kick, im not. All I am feeling is upsetness, saddness, misery, and pain. I just don't see the point in anything anymore. I am exhausted and I feel miserable and can not for the life of me stop crying. I want to quit life so badly and everything. I am so upset and I am sick of school. I am sick of living to everyone's expectations. And when I tell the truth, they arre just upset and don't want to hear it.

    Zoey,
    While I have been in school as you are I haven't juggled that with being pregnant. Considering you only have a month left, I strongly suggest gritting your teeth and fighting to the end. I left college in my third semester due to stress. I really wish I had at least stuck it out until the semester was over. Try and talk with a counselor. Personally, I don't reccommend the ones through the school (when I had a cousin with terminal cancer and talked with the counselors, they tried to get me to drop. Luckily I listened to my parents and stuck it out). But try and find a therapist NOT associated with the school. I think the bigger the school, the better the counselors may be. I could be wrong but I hope for your sake I am right. Think of the little one in your tummy. He/she would be more proud that you "crossed the finish line" rather than giving up. I know having to be strong is hard but I have been told to set aside a time to cry and have a mini pity party BUT don't let it be too long. Just enough to purge the emotions.
    I'm rooting for you girl!!
