So anxious and stressed and burnout
I've been feeling very anxious for a long time now..... I'm always feeling overwhelmed by school and I'm just so so stressed and I'm experiencing burnout symptoms. And I just cannot stop worrying about school. When I'm trying to relax, thoughts like "is there any assignment that I should be doing now/is there any quiz that I should be revising for now" keep popping up and I can't stop thinking and worrying about it. It's getting too much.....

I am sorry to hear that you are feeling so overwhelmed with school. :( School can definitely be stressful. Have you thought about talking to your advisors and professors and seeing what you could possibly do? <3
@HalliwellSister I really don't want to tell them.... And there isn't much that they could do....
@warmheartedPeach1653
i see. What makes you not want to tell them?
@HalliwellSister I feel like it's too private to share.... I don't like opening up to people.. It feels too exposed
@warmheartedPeach1653
oh that's understandable. I'm the same. It's hard for me to seek help. Do you have ability to raise your grades or drop the class ?
@HalliwellSister I think my grades are okay now, they're not super bad but I just can't stop worrying about what assignments I have to do or what I have to revise.... And it's not specific to one class, I'm like that with all my classes so dropping them isn't an option...
@warmheartedPeach1653
oh worry is natural. You want to do it all correctly. Maybe having a planner could help organize it all?
@HalliwellSister I have a planner but I keep checking and re-checking it and if I don't have it with me I will keep thinking about it.... I'm sorry if I sound annoying...
@warmheartedPeach1653
you don't sound annoying. :) sounds like if you don't do this, it really makes you anxious ? You have to do this all the time ?
@HalliwellSister yes...I feel like I'm going insane
@warmheartedPeach1653
i am sorry to hear that. I'm not a doc but sounds a bit like OCD tendencies. Is this that you've felt this way?
@HalliwellSister It seems a bit like OCD, or anxiety I think.....
@warmheartedPeach165
yeah maybe. Could always be both. We can't be sure as we are not doctors. Only a doctor could say for sure. Anxiety is usually easily self diagnosed though.
