A little worried about a few things going off to college?
I've set personal goals to achieve throughout college, those being breaking out of my reserved shell and making friends much, much more effortlessly than in my high school years. But, I'm a lot more self conscious than I was starting high school and I want to return back to that state of mind, but I've tried and it's been very difficult for me. Going off to college, I'm worried that, because I look younger than everyone else, I'm going to feel inferior which is how I feel a lot of the time now and my confidence is going to deteriorate. I want to be able to interact with others as effortlessly as it seems without having to worry about the little things. I want to learn how not to feel so self conscious when talking to any of the college students. With adults in their late twenties and on, I don't seem to feel any pressure, but when it comes to my peers and those slightly older, I tend to turn socially awkward, and I need some help breaking out of that habit.
18yr old heading off to college with bedwetting problem?
iv been wetting the bed since i was little and now at 18, it shows no signs of going away soon. i've seen a urologist multiple times and im taking ddavp, which increases water absorbtion in the kidneys to prevent nightime wetting. although this works almost %100, i dont like taking it every night due to the side effects. i'd love to be free from this, but i know that it may follow me to college. i applied for single housing and listed this as my medical condition. but if i dont get my own room, im afraid ill get stuck with someone who will not understand. do they sometimes pair people with the same problem together, or will i be stuck with someone else? and what do you reccommend me doing, tellng my roommate or trying to keep ita secret

DESPERATELY NEED HELP! My brother went off to college & is homesick; not eating; not sleeping. What do I do?
My brother has just started college about 3 hrs away from home. He is desperately homesick. Today he ate half of a hamburger. I insisted he get something else and so he bought a rice krispy treat. Not the healthiest choice, but it's better than nothing. Usually he eats about 3 bowls of cereal for BREAKFAST. He can't sleep either. His roommate has been coming in at 2 in the morning with friends after spending the night partying. But even without that he's up all night.He's had this happen before. When we first moved and when he started at a new elementary school. Each time he eventually worked through it. So my mom is trying to get him to work through it again. He calls her 3 4 times a day. Finally she told him to stop calling her. She's just as upset as he is about this, but she's trying to do what she thinks is best for him. He called me today and I talked to him for awhile and it helped him calm down, but he's been talking about hurting himself so he can come home.He's worried that mom might throw him out if he came home which she would never do. . He wants me to try and convince her to let him come home. His girlfriend and her parents have said that they would be willing to come and get him on Friday.I've been in a similar situation before and I understand what he is going through, but I don't know what is best for him. Do I push for my mom to let him go home? or do I try to convince him to stick it out? FYI He's 18, I'm 21 and going to college from home.

I'm having major anxiety about going off to college.?
I'm tansfering from a Jr. College to a University 6 1 2 hours away. I've always wanted to go to this school and when I got accepted it was one of the best moments in my life. Last week it suddenly hit me that I'll be going off to college in a little more than a month. The anxiety hit me like a ton of bricks and caused me to get physically sick threw up . Now all I can think about is moving away from my parents, friends, and everything that's home to me. The anxiety is VERY extreme. All I can think about is what if I can't handle it and have to drop out of college to move back home. How will I ever move out then? I'm terrified about leaving now. All I can think about is I'll only see my parents a few times a year and it makes me sick. I've had anxiety problems before and have been put on meds and went to therapy. Can someone help me or has shared this same problem? The anxiety is ruining my life... How bad will my anxiety be once I'm actually there? I have all these question...

I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE SHES INSANE I try to deal with her as LITTLE as possible and just avoid doing things that make her act crazy but it seems like its unavoidable Its soooo annoying i just wanna put MYSELF out of my OWN misery living here My step dad and older brother are the only ones she even TRIES to contain it for but she just UNLEASHES on me & its NOT FAIR I'll be leaving for college in about 9 months and I seriously dont know if ill make it without going crazy first How can I deal until then ? PLEASE HELP ME & i'm sorry but i just DO NOT wanna hear, " oh she cant help it, console her" because she somehow " helps it" around other people more so than me since she cares about her outward appearance so much, and she doesnt want to be consoled by me... she just wants to attack...shes always been rude and tchy almost competetive twords me & ive always dealth ... but since menopause.. its been amplified by 39 billion

Depression and anxiety about going off to college?
I'm sure it's normal to feel nervous, but more and more of the time I am dreading going to college. I'll be 5 hours from home and won't see my family nearly enough. I am homesick already. I am also terribly upset about the concept of my boyfriend and I breaking up, which will most likely happen before we go away. He leaves in like 12 days. I just don't want the summer to end. Any resources, websites I can visit on this topic that may help? Any personal advice?

How do you stop yourself from eating too much junk food? Especially when your going off to college?
Going off to college, I need cheap food that is realtively healthy.?
I am now counting down the weeks until I finally move out of my parents' house and transfer to a university this August. While I am more than excited about this, I'm REALLY starting to worry about what I am going to do about eating.I'm told that the kitchen facilities in the dorms are, depending on where you are, lacking to non existent. This only makes so much of a difference, as I'm effectively " culinarily challenged" at best.I've been trying to get in better shape lately I've been running, lifting, and I'm trying to quit smoking as it's making the running exceptionally difficult and this is playing into my apprehension.I know I'll only be able to afford so many sandwiches from the Subway nearby, so I need suggestions on products that require little to no preparation at most I will probably have a small microwave and if I'm really luck I will have a community stove that are at least relatively healthy and exceptionally cheap.
