so im a sophmore and i've always been good at school, one of the best in the class. but in this past year and a half, its been harder and harder to keep up my grades and the expectations everyone has of me. today i came back from the gym, went on my phone, laid in bed and started trembling and feeling like i couldnt breathe, i stopped myself from it going any further by pinching myself and sheer self control then i fell asleep and when i woke up i started full on panicking about the homework that i needed to get done for tomorrow. i knew that i had the time to do it but it still got too much.
i have so much pressure on myself and everyone has these expectations of what i'll become and i cant let them down. but its so much to do ALL THE TIME and i can barely get by. i think im burnt out, ive probably been for the past year/2 years.
and to top it all off, the only ways i found for coping was a 🌽 addiction and food. i keep getting myself in weird situations with men 3x my age because of it.
im just looking for some better ways to cope tbh, just wanna be ok and feel relaxed.

I'm in a similar situation and I took a break from doing schoolwork and just let my grades drop for a few weeks and got my grades up and the break really helped me but idk. Also I just find 1 small thing in my life and improve at it whether it's going to bed earlier or reading more or whatever. Just do 1 thing at a time or else you'll fail at everything you're trying at once and it'll get worse, atleast from my experience. I've also dealt with and am still dealing eith 🌽 addiction and I find it best to just get rid of all ways I have of accessing it whether it's blocking sites or apps or getting rid of certain electronics altogether. Hope this helps 🤷♂️
