Anxiety and medication

[Now26]

I have really bad anxiety and it doesn't seem as though the medicine working. The only thing that seems to be working is the side effects of this medicine. I am so tired of feeling nautious, sleepy, and tired when i take these medications. I have been on three different medications already and they have the same effect on me. I told my doctor i take my medications as needed now because i can't afford to be tired all of the time. Plus i am dealing with the anxiety of going to school. I feel like giving up on school. I really hate it. The people treat me like i don't know anything and like i look like the weirdest person they have ever seen. And plus that duma$# army guy that i have told some of you about in another post is going around telling people that i don't know what i am doing. And he said that i don't even look responsible. I don't talk to anybody at school. Maybe just one person. I do not want to be friends with immature, wannabe educated fools. I am there to earn my degree not to be liked, or to be your friend. If you don't like the way i look screw you. Don't talk to me because it makes my day when you don't talk to me. I really like it that way. If I need help, i always ask mature students then those who just plain judge people on their looks. I am not an attractive female and i know that. But for you to call me ugly and slow, thats just plain mean. I hate people. That is why i am majoringin Information Technology. I do not want to work with people at all. I am a big introvert and can't stand people. I guess it stems from childhood. I don't know. Some of it is when you are promised something only for your hopes to be dumped on when it doesn't happen. Anyway, thats all for now........

Hello Now 26--I haven't been able to read your posts or others like we use to before things changed. I hope you are doing better and can continue you college education so that you can get out of your parents home. paislee

I am so sick and tired of everything and everybody. I am currently in college and the teachers and some of the students think I don't know anything and they think that i wont pass these classes. They are getting on my freaking nerves. They keep saying that i will never get through school because i don't know anything. I tell you i hate people. I really do. I took a midterm yesterday and the instructor was speaking to all the other students about me and whether or not i was going to fail. They kept saying she don't know nothing. I went to my department head today and told him my concerns about this instructor. He said that he would want to get to the bottom of this but after tomorrow. His exam was BS and we get our grades back tomorrow. The instructors at this school think that they can do anything they want to the students and nothing gets done to them at all. I hate this school but this is the only school that is regionally accredited in this area where i can finish my degree in two years. They say the instructor is trying to get you to think critically when they ask you questions! BS! Half of these instructors don't know what they are doing!

Now26,
Sorry I am pressed for time right now, but read this thread about meds on the prescript meds board. I think it will help you
http://forum.stresscenter.com/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=5385

There are some other helpful threads in that category as well and I would look at the CBT vs. meds one as well if you have time.

Take care
