Is it normal to be this way?

This is a follow-up to a previous question (is it normal to be angry at an ex?). I've attended counseling for the first time last week and I'm going to another session tomorrow. For the past few weeks, my grades have been shit (I'm a freshman in college, but I've made good grades in high school), I'm gaining weight when I've been eating healthy, and I get angry easily- especially when I make a bad grade.

I hate having bad grades because when I had a bad grade in middle/high school, I had privileges taken away and I had to work twice as hard to get my grades up.

I made a very low score on a quiz so I have to work hard to at least get a B in my class. Today, I broke down and cried because I got part of a question wrong on a homework assignment (that's online).

My only concern has been to make good grades and what good am I if I can't do that?

If I break something or hurt myself or say something mean about my ex (see "Is it normal to be really angry at an ex?"), he wins. I don't want that...

    Why do you care about winning or losing so much with your ex? Someones who's probably not a part of your life anymore, who is irrelevant.

    Its all in your head. You need to let it go. People who hold grudges are just screwing with themselves. Learn to forgive? Find it in yourself to forgive him and yourself.
    If you want to be at peace with all this.

    College and high school are different playing fields.
    Some classes are easier than others, though.

    I made the mistake of taking chemistry in my first year and I got so stressed over it. Ended up with a C in the last semester in it, but it did teach me how to study better.

    The only thing you can do for yourself is try to find a way of studying that's effective. And find some ways to reduce your stress. You're going to need it.

    I haven't read your other post but based on this one it seems like you're going through a lot of stress. If you have a lot of classes, try getting rid of 1 or 2 so you can have more time for the other more difficult ones. See if that'll help with you're grades. Try doing the things you enjoy more and definitely continue with your counseling.
