How can I heal my college anxiety/depression?

My classes start tomorrow and I’m in one of the toughest engineering programs in the world. I fear for the difficulty and onerate workload of the classes, not being able to get my full schedule and lose health insurance, and having to disappoint my fellow team members etc etc
There is a lot of pressure because I want to enter the Ph.D program after I graduate.

What can I do to cope with these problems?
Counceling is out of the question (with that record I can say goodbye to my career)

Counseling can’t go on your record if you see a counselor at your college and for engineering it wouldn’t matter anyway. Take time for yourself and get enough sleep. If you do, you will be more productive and feel better.

    Why would counseling be on your record? HIPPA laws prevent disclosure of person health information. People go to counseling for all kinds of things, to lose weight, to stop smoking, dealing with grief, marriage and relationship counseling, etc. It doesn’t mean that you are mentally unstable because you see a counselor. In my opinion, it means you are wise enough to take care of your health.

    Get yourself a tutor to help you study. Positive thinking is so important in life. Have hope and pray about your life. Know that God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end — time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God’s blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can’t explain the world’s natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner’s prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus’ name, amen." I’m Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group as a good way to learn about God’s will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.

    Spiritual healing — study the healing of harry edwards google search
    Harry Edwards recalled the case of a young man who, accompanied by a lady, was brought to me for healing. He was in great pain and eaten-up with arthritis. As the healing proceeded, so his pains left him, and his joints began to loosen and become free. When I had finished treating him, it was a real delight to see how wonderfully glad he was to be able to use his legs, feet, arms and hands again… and then he told me: "When I came here, I was convinced no one could help me, and I came only to please my Aunt, who brought me."

    You worked a miracle with his father when he was very ill 1983-84 when I wrote to you, but you will be pleased to know he is now working for the Council and lives a fairly normal life.

    I’s report is complete – he is 100% fit and will have no trouble in resuming his sporting activities -considering the first reports, this is a miracle. I do not know how I would have managed without your wonderful help.

    You and the late Harry Edwards helped me so often and indeed I am still pressing on 18 years after I was expected to die from my last bout of cancer.

    I wrote to ask for healing for my sister who was to undergo an operation for aneurysm in the aorta. Her operation was very successful. After 1 day in intensive care and 2 days in progressive care she was back in her own room and has done extremely well. She was allowed home after 7 days when she had been told to expect to be in hospital for 10 to 15 days. Everyone was amazed at her recovery and the surgeon told her she had been a perfect patient. I feel sure the absent healing and our prayers were to a great extent responsible for this wonderful recovery and I thank you most sincerely for your help.

    I thought perhaps you would like to have a record of the people you have helped during the time I have been sending reports. M.L. -angina, complete recovery. D. L. -duodenal ulcer, complete healing. B.L. – Angina, complete recovery. P.D. – Leukaemia – apparent full recovery.

    On behalf of my mother, daughter and myself may I thank you for the lovely day at your Sanctuary last Tuesday. My mother is so much better it is truly amazing. She can stretch out her arms and even raise them to her head and her walking is much stronger. My daughter was very impressed, too. 1141/6
    My condition improved in as much as I now have much more self-confidence and ability to deal with my everyday life. 1145/6
    G.S. Good news. Up until recently he had to be helped to get into and out of his car. It is adapted to enable a disabled person to drive, The other day he got into his car entirely on his own and drove some 12 miles to a nearby town. Got out on his own and went into a shop to make a purchase. No wheelchair anymore! 1142/6
    You both, along with our friends in Spirit, have been directing healing for our daughter who, as I told you, has been given a full bill of health, thank you. 1146/6
    I must report to you the miracle that soon after writing to you about my husband’s ill health due to smoking, he decided to give up the habit and has not smoked since. I never thought it possible. It has been well worth it all. His general health has improved considerably. 1148/6

    Why is seeking professional help out? When I was hospitalized, my Psychiatrist had a breakdown and he had to leave for a period of time and later, he came back. It did not keep him from his profession. Depression affects every profession and no one has to know unless you disclose the information to them. If you feel so strongly about it, you can seek professional help under another name. You can join a chat room on line, journal or speak confidentially to a very good family member or friend, but getting your feelings out is a vital part of feeling better. Antidepressants have helped me just as much.

    You really do need some counseling to help you with all of this stress, if you are worried about this going on your record. Which by the way you wouldn’t have to tell anyone at any time.

    Then I would seek out the help by calling 211 this is a national help referral line. They can give you phone numbers of people you can speak to over the phone and that way you can remain anonymous.

    Never under estimate the power of talking to someone. It really can help.
