Answer
The only reason a person dies in hope or gives up hope is because she has simply run out of ideas of how to cope and move ahead. Often it is because of a loss or many set-backs.
The first thing to do is to reflect on what you have and appreciate it, no matter how little it is. This can open your eyes to the things in life you enjoy and what is really important to you.
Losses and set-backs are unfortunate, but life must go on. If there is something you enjoy and is important to you, move in that direction. Look for positive people who can help or inspire you. Also, seek to help others. This will give you ideas of how to become reborn in hope, as well as increase your motivation to improve things.

Worked too hard in college and affected health
Question
January 17, 2006
My worst phase life came in my 2nd term in my undergraduate career when I got confused between dealing with my heavy academic load, choosing my co-op job and managing my finance, now that the term is over I am in much debt, have abdominal and thyroid problems because of overreacting and health problems and eating out of control mostly relying on credit card, all my courses and I feel such a pain in my brain, I am now forced to bring make up stories to cover my back so that my family does not feel ashamed in front of others. Atleast I have a job. It seems like every step that I made this past term was another mistake to God oh and by the way I was wondering why I am still alive with out even having the chance to have a girl friend and most of other people younger than me succeeded in all areas mentioned above and some of them also have girl friends that can relate too? am I being too picky? I vistied a mental doctor also except telling me that I might have bipolar disorder as well he has also prescribed anti deprressants for me to use. I need to know why could I pick and focus my battle and although I know what to do to make others as well me succeed I didn't really do it. The good news is that I still have a kind family and good friends who I can always relate too.

Answer
Sometimes college students try to do too much and get overloaded with obligations. It is easy to think your are superhuman and can do anything. The lesson learned is finding out your limitations.
What you need to do is to take a few steps back and evaluate your situation and plans for your schooling. Realize that you do not have to finish in record time, especially if you are working and such. Take less credits. Or perhaps even take off a term to get your finances in order and improve your health.
You are fortunate to have a kind family and good friends as a support system. The first thing to do is to tell them you think you overextended yourself the past term and need to reevaluate how you will achieve your goals. You can say that you pushed so hard that it affected your health.
The big thing is to act mature, like you are in control of your destiny. You are just explaining to them that you are reevaluating how you plan to finish school. If you have health problems and financial problems, it will be difficult for you to finish school.
Also, it is unhealthy to be only working and not to have some social life. College is supposed to be fun, besides all the scholarly work that you must do.
You family should not feel ashamed of you. Already you are through your second term. You just need some adjustments and to work at a reasonable pace. And that is what is important. It isn't who finishes first. It is the one who methodically goes about his business to make sure he finishes that counts.
I am sure you will be able to bounce back and do well in school, now that you know how to pace yourself. I wish you the best in succeeding and becoming a champion to your family.

Relationship between gravity and food intake
Question
September 29, 2005

A person that has more weight is affected by gravity, finding it more difficult to walk than a lighter weight person. Thus he or she will need to eat more food to have the energy to move around.
