I am almost finished my degree in college and I have exams in the next few weeks, I honestly don't know how I can get through them. I am so unhappy in my college there is no support and I feel like I'm not as good as everybody else.If I fail I don't think I can cope. It doesn't help that I recently broke up with my long term boyfriend(who I thought was the love of my life) and I have just found out that he has found someone else already. It's killing me. I feel like all I want to do is sleep, I can't face exams and all that pressure now. Does anybody have any advice? Thanks

i've been there, and i'm back again, so i know what you are going through. being dumped really sucks, and it's even worse that he's moved on so quickly. but trust me, in the long run it is better that you focus on your school and get your degree because 5 years from now you won't even care about this guy and you'll have a great job because you kicked butt in college.i think it's good to talk to someone about your feeling, your friends or family, maybe go talk to a therapist. it's better to talk and seek support than let it fester because that makes it worse.

I'm in the same possition in college myself. I know how stressful it feels and how lonely and depressing it can be.
It sounds like everything is just to much for you at the moment and depression has set in.
There should be a college councillor you can talk to for free. If you explain how you are feeling to them and how you are struggling to cope, they should be able to help you.
It must be really hard seeing someone you were so in love with, with someone else already... But maybe... especially seeing as you broke it off with him, he is rebounding?
Just remember that there is only a few weeks left and then you will be able to relax... There's not long to go.... . That's the one thought that is pushing me forwards, as I too am suffering from the huge ammount of stress of college and have become pretty depressed over the last few months. You are not alone. You can mail me if you just want to talk.
Good luck
