I feel the need to vent to people I don’t know. I’m extremely stressed in college right now. So much so I started therapy again and have started taking magnesium gummies. I have found that, at no point in my day, am I capable of (part 2 in comments)

(Part 2) Relaxing or taking my mind off of the things that stress me out. It’s been like this for months. I looked into Generalized Anxiety stuff and multiple tests came back with high scores so I plan to talk to my therapist about that on Wednesday. The only time I’m not stressed is when I’m singing which I have to do alone in my car with no other cars around bc I have stage fright (which I only experience around music and nothing else).

What should I do? Who do I talk to?
