Today I was trying to do some homework but I jusst couldn't concentrate on it so I started thinking about, well pretty much everything. I came up with the conclusion that I have taken on more than I can handle. I have 3 hard classes based on math I am taking and 2 more that involve a lot of reading (I am a really bad reader.) On top of this I am trying to make enough money to pay off my laptop, take classes outside of school and keep my man.. It's stessing me out and I don't know if I am actually going to be able to balance everything out in my life

I´d recommend you leave one or two of the classes if you can. I was a university professor for years and saw that what you are doing will only mean poor grades IF you pass. One class with reading is more than enough if you are a poor reader. And math is difficult. Balance is the word. And you are not doing it, friend. Think about it and luck!

Well I need all the credits to graduate so I don't think I would be able to drop them.. I really want to switch my english class to online, it would make it a lot easier and make the time I spent trying to get everything in half but they won't let me at the moment for who knows why..

Why don´t you consider graduating next year and getting better grades?

Well I won't even be graduating until next year but if start dropping classes now I'll have to start them over next year along with my senior classes I'll be taking, which would be a bunch more work

I think you should do just what you can handle. Try to hold some things to later. Ask for help from a friend of yours to study, for example. It will take you a little of stress about the classes. Take time for yourself sometimes, and in those times, try to enjoy and relax much!! I hope I helped :)

You have to get some rest because being stressed out can be caused by lack of sleep. I've been sleeping less and less these past few months and I'm noticing myself being tired more easily and being stressed out more quickly.

I'm sure it will. Sleep is what our body relies on on fixing its system. You should also take a look up on meditation. It also helps on revitalizing your mind when you're all stressed out. It greatly helps out. It's like having an extra bottle of water when you're in the middle of the desert.

Wow. It does sound stressful to me. I think that you are right that you may have taken on more than you can handle. I think it would be great for you to find a way to balance everything out. Imbalance creates stress. Good luck my friend.
