Take a look at the resources at the top of the forum, many of our people swear by CBT and controlled
breathing our monitors will be by and give you better information. Peace

In addition to the great resources Larry has directed you to, I wonder if your college has a counseling center? Many larger colleges (and some small ones) in the U.S. actually have people trained specifically to help students battling anxiety and depression to stay on track with their studies. Best part? At my school, it was free. ;)

I believe Larry is right. Mindfulness is to be helpful. There's a book I'm starting to read called "

Search Inside Yourself". Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google. Google teaches  mindfulness classes to their people that care to attend them. Dee

Hi Bowser!

You have received great advice already...I will just add my welcome and post the link for our Resources for easy access to the great self-help ideas there. Doing the breathing and relaxation exercises regularly will reduce your overall anxiety levels and symptoms. There is also a great link there to free on-line therapy called MoodGym there that could help with the depression issues.:)
