Mania and anxiety: sometimes concurrent, sometimes alternate, always lurking on the peripheries of caffeine pill use and that one extra coffee that pushes one over the edge of reason into hyperbole.

Take slow, deep breaths, preferably with your eyes closed. *hugs* It should help at least a little.

Oh my dear, never, ever, ever consume caffeine (by liquid or other means) when you're panicky. It'll blow you through the roof. *HUGS*!

I have to have it. It's either that or Adderall. I'm just too exhausted all the time not to drink coffee.

I'm sorry if I sounded like I was scolding, as that wasn't my intention. I certainly know not to do it and still do it anyway.

*HUGS*! I hope your exams are over soon and you can relax.

Aww you don't have to worry so much. Besides, I know you have some good zen in you.

Sometimes I've found that when I am stressed about school, it helps to take a few minutes out of the day to do an unrelated hands-on activity. For example, I might take 10 minutes to make a CD collage and the happy-concentration makes me feel both relaxed and capable. Or you can write a list of everything you have to do in the day and keep saying "oh, that's all I have to do, just this nice organized list" and it actually can help a lot.

Well, you know I'm always rooting for you :) Love youu!!

BTW excuse my double posts-the second one's better anyway. I had to rewrite it from memory when my internet got wonky

Hahaha, that's what I suspected.

Thanks for the tips. I called Mom last night freaking out and she gave me this advice that I should turn into a "machine" until my exams are done. The metaphor is kind of corny, but it's actually the best thing to do.

Hey I tried calling you back today after you called, I missed it cause I was in the elevator. Please call tomorrow? I'll call you for sure regardless.
