We've all been there, that time
where you feel like everything is getting on top of you and the stress becomes
a little too much. Some people can cope others (like me) seem to just give up
sometimes and it’s easy to forget that there are people that can help you in
these situations. So here’s a little advice.
1) Accepting that you need a little help –
A lot of people never even acknowledge that they need some help with this,
accepting that you do isn’t a weakness. If anything it’s a strength because it
involves accepting that you can’t deal with everything that is going on whether
that is to do with your work or personal life it’s good to get the practical
things out of the way, especially coursework because you don’t want to the work
to pile up in times of stress as it would just end up adding to your stress.
2) Seeking Help – This is another thing
that people struggle with, most feel embarrassed or as if they are being a
pest. I can guarantee that you wouldn’t be the first student to struggle, you’re
only human and your college or school will know this. There is most likely
someone to help you in school or college to email people you think will know
about said person, for example your tutor or head of year if you’re in school. Remember
you can get help with the stress itself or with the things that are stressing
you out like coursework of the whole subject, just going to a tutor and having
them explain things to you does a world of good.
3) Follow the advice! – This is the
biggest of them all! A lot of people go to see someone about some help in a
close minded attitude. So because of this the advice they give you could be the
best advice ever but you won’t follow it because you either think you are above
it or you just don’t want to. So ironically, my advice would be to follow their
advice! You’ve gone for the help that you need so you do need to follow that
advice no matter what!
4) Find stress relievers – this is the final
step which is the most useful one of all. Find things that calm you down,
whether that is just taking an hour or so to watch something on the TV or
listening to music just do it. You need a rest you can’t be expected to do
everything at once all of the time, you’ll just become more frustrated and
everything you’ve gone and done so far would have been a waste, just sit back
and relax!
That’s what I think you should do
based on my personal experience, you’re not the only that struggles every so
often :)
