becky--sheesh! it sounds like you've been having some bad luck lately!! i'm sorry about what happened to your mom, that's terrible- but it is not your fault, okay? stuff like that just happpens, it's nobodys fault. that's very much like us w/ EDs to blame ourselves for everything!
have you been trying any relaxation techniques for the school related stress? for instance, lighting soothing candles, taking a walk here and there to clear your head, even taking a bath once in a while if you have access to that....it can really help for the times you feel extremely overwhelmed. have a nice cup of tea, especially while studying, and remember to take a few minutes to pace yourself so you're not working nonstop!! i'm not sure what you mean by "stress pills"-- are they prescribed to you, or over the counter? too many pills can be a very bad thing!
remember-- the holidays are coming up soon so you can get a break from school =)!! although they can be a detrimental foodwise for us, at least you get some time to clear your head!
hang in there in the meantime, okay! i know you can do it ;)although it seems overwheliming now, things will eventually get better
