[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 639431, member: 14557"] Her College likely has some help available for students who struggle with their study skills (let's face it, it is about every other student who has that same issue your daughter is experiencing and Colleges and Unis know that.) Whenever she calls in panic and vents to you, refer her to that; "Sorry, honey, I can't help with that. But there is a student help centre in your college in building Z. Contact them, I'm sure you are not an only freshman with this issue." And with phone it is easy to cut her tirade when she gets nasty. Either just "Sorry, got to go. I'm sure you can figure it out." or more spelled out: "Do not yell/curse/whatever to me. I will not talk with you, if you do that. You can call back, when you are ready to talk more mature way to me." Your daughter seems to have been prone to anxiety and depression her whole life and now in new and stressful situation that shows. It would greatly help her to look for counselling (also likely available in her school) but if she is not willing, you can't make her. But you can refrain from being her rubbish bin to dump all that anxiety and stress. [/QUOTE]
