It probably doesn't help much, but everybody feels like what you're feeling, sooner or later. Everybody gets overwhelmed sometimes. Everybody has bad days. Heck, I've been overdrawn at the bank four times this year (and it's not like I regularly eat at places more expensive than McDonald's, either). Just hang in there-- things _will_ get better. Messes don't have to be cleaned up NOW. Finances don't have to be settled NOW. You don't have to be in control of EVERYTHING all the time. You'll get through this.
--What you should NOT do, however, is start thinking you deserve to feel like this, like you've done something "wrong" and now, by some karmic cycle of justice, you're being punished for your deeds. That's not how the universe works. People reap what they sow in life, sure... but sometimes, life just sucks. Sometimes, for no reason, by the luck of the draw, no response to any stimulus, life just sucks... That _doesn't_ mean life is gonna suck FOREVER. Things WILL get better. The fact that you've hung in there THIS long proves you're gonna survive. Believe in yourself--your friends believe in you very much.
Now, get some rest. Tomorrow will happen whether you've got all the answers or not, so you might as well be well-rested for the test. Take care.
