10 THINGS COLLEGE STUDENTS WITH ANXIETY DO ON THE REG

Everyone: "Why are you so stressed all the time?" Me: "I DON'T KNOW--WHY AREN'T THERE PUPPIES AT EVERY STREET CORNER??? SOMETIMES THERE ARE NO ANSWERS." *drops mic*

1. You're sitting in University Psychological Services and your friend walks by on their way to another department...

2. You get a bad grade on a tough exam and you start to freak out....

so you assemble your support network because MO' BITCHES = MO' STRESS RELIEF

3. Your university is hosting some kind of "Come Pet Puppies" event...

so you drop everything to GO THERE RIGHT NOW because everyone knows that puppies have magical anxiety-relieving powers!

4. Someone who doesn't know you very well tells you you're "overthinking this..."

so you tell them, "HEY I'M JUST USING MY EXCELLENT CRITICAL THINKING ABILITY ENHANCED BY MY BIOCHEMICAL PROBLEM THANK YOU V MUCH K BYE."

5. You tell someone that you're on medication and they're like, "Oh I would never use drugs to change my mood..."

so you ~calmly~ tell them that medication is AWESOME and that they're being CONDESCENDING so they should go THINK ABOUT THAT.

6. You tell someone you just me that you have anxiety and they tell you that they do too...

so you proceed to freak out and exclaim with the appropriate amount of sincerity that "WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON!!!"

7. You have an exceptionally rough day...

so walking to class feels like running a marathon, but when you make it you are SO PROUD OF YO SELF.

8. You read somewhere that carbs are good for anxiety...

so you proceed to fill your apartment pantry with ALL the carbs because ~science~.

9. When you see bae has read your iMessage and hasn't responded in over five minutes...

YOU PANIC AND TEXT YOUR BFF BECAUSE S/HE PROLLY DOESN'T WANNA BE YOUR FRIEND ANYMORE BC YOU'RE THE WORST JK YOU KNOW YOU'RE AMAZING...oh wait s/he just texted you back... so now this is irrelevant.

10. And sometimes you just have a really shitty day so you call your bff just to have a good cry because you know they'll understand you.
