Managing uni/work stress

Managing uni/work stress

I am not sure about anyone else but I find it quite difficult to balance my uni stress with keeping up with self care and life stuff. And just being ok in general. It is so easy to get overworked and burnt out. So I thought I would start a thread anyone is welcome of course the idea was mainly so we could support each other with uni/work stress or even just to rant about it if you need.

I am doing 3 subjects this coming semester and I am already feeling overwhelmed there is so much work and I am still just getting back on my feet. I hope I can keep up this semester.

G'day @Eden1919
Good to see you again.

Yeah balance is key. Lately I have learned where my tolerance level is. That comes through trial and error

Re: Managing uni/work stress

@MDT Hi, yes trial and error is important.

@Bunniekins and @saltandpepper i am sorry you are having that issues I also have noticed my cognitive abilities declining which i guess is why i am trying to push myself to finish as soon as i can before they get any worse and i cant.

on other news today I passed my units from last semester!! I am very relieved.

Re: Managing uni/work stress

I can't believe you're doing three subjects at a time, @Eden1919 - I can only manage the one. Luckily I don't have long to go in my degree.

Re: Managing uni/work stress

@Gwynn Yeah I kind of have to do 3 because otherwise I will run out of time to complete my degree.
