I feel like some of what you describe (stress, memory problems) can be attributed to the not sleeping. If you're skipping sleep on purpose... stop. If you have trouble sleeping, whats helped me is to turn off the computer at least an hour before you want to sleep (the light from the monitor disrupts what signals your body its sleep time), and get at least 30 min of exercise a day. Though, since you walk everywhere, you're probably getting the exercise... so perhaps try a higher intensity? Another thing thats helped me a little is realizing that if I can do things in lusternia, its only slightly different than doing them in real life. If I can make friends, accomplish goals, and lead in Lusternia, the required qualities are in me, its just a matter of applying them elsewhere. From reading forums, it seems like you're a capable and likable person, so just keep reminding yourself that you have the qualities you need to succeed, and the confidence you're missing will come along.
All of this! Also, if you have to, pretend you feel confident. Roleplay it, if you will. You might be surprised that you actually start feeling confident after a while without trying.

Sleep plays a much larger role in a healthy lifestyle than most people give it credit for. It's not just a matter of feeling tired, lack of sleep causes (read DOES cause, not CAN cause), hormone imbalances which will impact pretty much everything you do.

Stuff.
If you have not perhaps you should consider telling these things to a professional. I used to poo poo the idea of therapy until I tried it. It was by no means a quick fix but it worked and my life has completely turned around. Therapy doesn't necessarily mean being medicated either.

The thing about college/post-secondary is you gotta do things besides taking classes - get experience, network with people, travel during the summer and learn something, volunteer, work - otherwise it really feels like a waste. But those things are what makes going to school worth it IMO, and stepping out of your comfort zone.

You need to eat something with a buttload of calories. It's the only recourse when you're that upset. That and hugs.

Last time I kidnapped a friend, drove to the top of a mountain, and ranted at him as I hit rocks off the top with a baseball bat. Stinging and/or numbness in your hands from using an aluminum bat eventually calms you down. The downside is that people think you're about to murder them.

Valentines day is getting close which always makes me very irritable. Why you may ask? Cause I get to be bombarded with commercials about how awesome it is being in a relationship, seeing all my friends who have girlfriends talk about how much they love em. Im happy for them, but at the same time it sucks hardcore being single and lonely around this time of year.

I'm hoping valentines day will be a very slow gym day and I'll enjoy the nice quiet gym after work... and class. Either that, or it'll be full of lonely single girls

Tell me about it, though substitute boys for girls.
