it sounds like maybe you have performance anxiety, like maybe you're afraid of doing the work so your body kicks in so you don't have to. this happens to me, too. i think i'm afraid of being judged. is there a counselor you could talk to about this? could be something like ADD, too, or just an inability to concentrate. good luck.

Hate to say it, but you cant.  Always being busy is only a temp. fix.  And all the feelings will come back as soon as u relax, like when ur gonna go to sleep.  So...just try and deal with the probs, graduly.  One at a time.\n\nP.S.\n  Hope it works out for you.

Hey,\nI suffer from generalised anxiety disorder as well. I am not an overachiever though, but I might have some tips for you anyway. First of all, if you're not allready in therapy, try it! It can help a lot by giving you usefull tips on how to control your anxiety.Since you are allready on medication, I won't give any advice to that. What might help, is making schedules. For example, weekly schedules of all the work you have to do that week, then divide it into days, then into hours. Also schedule in some time to relax. This is very important, since it is hard to relax when you have anxiety disorder and a heavy courseload. What works wonders for me is to go jogging every other day. Not only does it clear my head, it also seems to prevent some of the panic attacks from happening. Also, when you make those schedules, make sure you set goals that are achievable, maybe even below what you could do. That way, you reach your goals easier, making you feel better about yourself. Device a little 'rewardsystem', for example, if I work through 7 pages every hour, I can go shopping for an hour after 4 hours of work. It sounds over-simple and a bit silly, but I assure you it works! It also makes the amount of work you have to do a little more manageable; it doesn't seem like one giant heap anymore, but like small, bite-sized chunks you can handle. This really takes the pressure of and thereby helps you to relax more and get the better of your anxiety.\nGood luck, I really hope this helps (if only a little), because I know how horrible such a disorder is.\nlove

I'm sorry you feel this way.\n\nThe sad reality is that there are rude teens and just plain rude people everywhere.  Consider this a lesson in humanities for you, and learn from it .  As for heavy workloads, unless any one of us is fabulously wealthy and works for "sport", there always seems to be more work than time no matter which is our chosen field.\n\nWhat you are missing is "passion" for what you do.  To begin, I suggest you stop using the word "hate" when you describe your job, and use your energy for more positive aspects.  Sub-consciously, you are feeding your situation; you must change this. This is "key" for your plight right now.  Change your attitude in a positive way, find joy in as many aspects of your daily work as you are able, "give" of yourself, and focus on what matters to you.  Focus also on organizing more eficiently for the "drudgery part" of your work; i.e. the old maxim, "work smart not hard".  Find solace in the small wonders of your life.\n\nBe kind to you and find your passion.  Visualize your dream job.  Take steps to go out there and make it happen.  Next year can be so much better, if you plan *now* for it!

stay put on your focus and set beside the other things. Try to work on a silent and peaceful place. Avoid the temptations that would be a destruction  to your work.

Me too! Make a time schedule for yourself and block out hours of the day to do things. Give yourself more time than you think you need to complete assignments. That should help. Also, find out how you focus: do you like constant background noise or no noise at all. That should help.I have ADHD and working with a consistent backgroud noise works for me.

Such is life!  College = Stress.  Start working on the paper now and you should be fine.

I'm 23, and I'm in law school.  I have the same anxieties: worrying if I've made the right decision, if this is what I'm really meant to be, fear that I might be missing out on my "true" calling.  The only thing I've found that allays these fears is experience.  Just start doing what you want to do, if you find your calling, you find your calling; if you screw it up, you screw it up.  Get a job at a hospital or a clinic.  See what doctors do every single day.  If you can see yourself happy, even when being a doctor can be a grind, then go for it.  To quote Brook Benton: "No matter how you look at it, or think of it. / It's life and you just got to play the game."

Me too! But over the last few days, I forced myself to do the routine things which I usually do. Wash stuff, drive around, and do work in office and try not to check Y!A. \n\nI must say its really hard, cos I am back now :) hehehe Perhaps as long as you do not let yourself neglect other more important priorities in your life, you should be fine (this applies to me too).

Try this: "set the stage."  That means that you can create a time and place and atmosphere where you are going to be working.   Turn off the tv or turn it down very low so you can hear voices and you will not feel so alone.  Get away from the tv set, so you can not see the screen; get a comfortable chair, table, and writing area; settle yourself in a comfortable position; then take a deep breathe -in through your nose, slowly out your mouth-let your shoulders relax and sag a little; now, that you are ready.  DON'T LET THE HOMEWORK SCARE YOU.  It's only paper, ink, and pencil.  Do your best.  Trust yourself and do this for yourself.  Now, that you have finished that piece of work, have a little break, or a soda; then tackle the next thing.  You could even make a list of what you need to do and mark off each one AFTER you do it.  Then you will see how much you have accomplished.  This worked for three school kids that I knew personally.  Good Luck and Blessings.

I'll handle my most challenging experience by doing my best but not thinking about the possible consequences of my actions. (both the negative and positive consequences). because I think this will greatly distract me from doing my best with my work.

you have to start within you and stop saying I cant do math-that is when your phobia kicks in because you program yourself not to believe you can do it--get a good math tutor such as Silvan online or score or even someone who is patient to break down the math problems for you\n\nI know how you feel I needed to pass statistics for College and I hated math so I had to change my tune go to math tutoring and stay dedicated and focus for and to myself at first its going to be a bit edgey but you can do it I passed my test with flying colors\n\nyou have to have the motivation, dedication, and time to get what you need done

Hello there! I know how you feel as I have a fiancee with same problem. However, he is on therapy for something much worse so he also treated social anxiety....for a bit.....but i read a lot about it to be able to understand him and help him....all I can say now he is back to his university :), he is so much better!!! Definitly if you can, go to therapy it really helps, and you have to keep yourself in contact with social events so you don't get rasty too much :) as fear tends to grow in our minds for the things we are afraid of, and we are afraid of the things we don't know. So force yourself into it, and you will see after some time you will have more confidence, and you will see that it's not so scary as it seemed. In my "research" to help my fiancee I found this site that could be of a great help to you as well. It's a forum where you can chat with people with same problems as yours, just to know you are not alone...maybe you find out much more about your fear through them and their posts. www.socialanxietysupport.com\nGood luck!

Commitment phobia? You mean things like relationships, weight loss, and stuff like that. In my case it is just laziness and sometimes lack of time/money etc, lots of excuses why I will not want to commit. Or just that I dislike doing something.

Fear of chemicals or of working with chemicals.
