I recently came back to university after taking a year off to do DBT skills training for 6 months but it's like everything I learned has gone out the window. I am an honours student and have a very full and overwhelming schedule. I am really struggling with studying and doing assignments because I get so overwhelmed that my emotions rise and I have an intense urge to engage in self-harm and when I call my boyfriend (we're long distance - another hard story for another time) he doesn't know how to help me and my emotions continue to rise to the point where I'm literally describing to him how I would kill myself if I had the means to do so at that moment. 

Does anyone else have a similar story and if so how do you manage? I feel like I should have never come back to school and I feel like I should drop out - but I know that would make me just as miserable. Does anyone have any advice?
