Might want to do a search on the topic..... this topic has come up many times and members have weighed in on their thoughts...... might help you get an idea on those that have tried it etc.

I have not tried it but REALLY REALLY want too!!!! Have not been able to find it here in New Zealand yet. I think my Aunty sells it in liquid form but i have to find out.
If you go on it let me know how it goes!
Really interested myself. Supposed to be real good for loosing weight and has alot of nutrients in it. Natures super food they say LOL.

Would love to get my lil hot hands on the stuff!!! :bigsmile:

Have you considered therapy? I had to visit my campus student counseling services this semester to learn to better cope with my stress. It reached a point that surpassed what I could deal with on my own even with my healthy habits. My counselor was someone I could talk to about anything in total confidentiality, which I really needed. He gave me deep breathing and visualization exercises and helped me cope with some guilt and stuff. These services are free to students so you won't need health insurance. It's part of what you pay for as a student.

Great Idea SBS:drinker: :happy:

I know how you feel. I am at school 17 hrs/wk and tutor and then at work 25 hrs/wk. I'm a Senior, and this is by far my most difficult year between classes and finding internships and grad progems. When they made me a manager I just about lost it, I HATE retail and then all of a sudden I had all this extra responsibility. It took them 3 months to increase my pay ( a whole 75 cents, ugh) and send me my backpay, so for the last 3 months I have only been able to pay rent and part of my credit cards (I only have 2!) and overdrew on my checking account twice. Add to that marathon training and my poor bf feeling neglected, and it was a bad situation. What helped me was writing out daily schedules for the week, pretty much hourly. Class __to ___, Certain Homework __ to __, Tutoring ___to ___, Work ___to ___. You can use a planner or even just a regular journal. Making lists is great because it feels so good to cross things off. My counselor also suggested lowering my standards...meaning I have to stop stressing about getting all A's, explain to my bf that I need to focus on school so we can't "color", and asking for slightly less hours at work (that one I couldn't do but it was a nice thought lol). When it starts to wear on you that much, you have to cut corners. Prioritize so you don't just shut down and do nothing (this was a problem for me...I'd just neglect everything and go to the gym). And do schedule time to relax, even if it's just 30 minutes, but don't let it extend so far that you can't do the urgent and important things. If you get a day off, sleep in, and then use the day to do productive things, like study or tidy up your living space. This stuff helped me a lot. I still stress out, but don't have break downs or anything like I used to, and I can find humor in how ridiculously busy I get. :flowerforyou:
