I'm somewhat new here.. I'm been having a bad couple of weeks due to stress and feeling blue a lot lately.. Work's been stressful and I'm unable to do anything else, I feel tired most of the time, and I'm lagging behind on my assignments (I'm taking classes during the weekends), and as a result, I want to do nothing all day. Haven't had enough sleep and I'm also overeating at times.. I need some help! :(

Hi! *Hugs* if ok🌸

Sorry to hear that you're having a stressful time. From what you have said, I think you have been over working for a while now and you might be facing a burn out. Here are a few tips -


1) Identify the factors that are stressing you out - There are a few things you've already mentioned but seeing you're very tired to start with other things, you can probably start by making a list of the things that are making it stressful for you.


2) Find a support system - If there is anyone around you that you can talk to then I'd definitely recommend doing it. It can give you a break from work and lighten up your mood a bit.


3) Take a walk - If you find it hard to do other things then you can probably try and set up a time to take a walk everyday. It definitely helps release stress and would prevent you from the negative thoughts a bit.


4) Utilise breaks properly - If you're getting very less time to rest then I'd say you should utilise it properly which means try and give a break to yourself from your thoughts too. For that you can either try reading or meditation or simply taking a nap.


5) Ask for help - Is there anyone who can help you out with your incomplete work? If yes, then shy away asking for help. If not and you're on your own then try and switch between tasks so that you don't get too stressed or stuck up at one thing. Utilise various sources.


And of course don't be too hard on yourself. ❤️You're only human and it's totally alright to feel behind sometimes. Your body is simply asking you for some rest and try and give that to yourself whenever you get a chance to recover from this quickly. 🌸

Hope it helps!
