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.

@saltandpepper Balancing really is hard but hopefully it will be worth it in the end.

Re: Managing uni/work stress
Hi @Eden1919 and @saltandpepper I wanted to get my second degree but have found that my mind is no longer able to handle the complexities of uni study. It makes me very sad to be honest but true.

Re: Managing uni/work stress
@greenpea You're not alone there pea. I was talking to someone on here about it once too. I too have noticed my cognitive abilities have dwindled over time. I don't have the capacity to study anymore either--haven't for a long time. I just get frustrated about it more than anything

Re: Managing uni/work stress
I know @greenpea Im sorry you're struggling with it, it's ok to feel sad about it and mourn that loss of ability. In a way I feel a bit of relief to know there's been a cause for my inability to learn or retain information. For a long time I felt inadequate, stupid etc. while it doesn't change anything, knowing the cause has helped me to feel less anger at myself about it all.
