Struggling with dissertation
Hey,
I'm a final year student at uni and I'm really struggling with writing my dissertation. It's really stressing me out and affecting my health and relationships with my family. I'm not sure what I can do to help motivate me in writing it and get rid of the stress. Usually I stress eat but I've been doing thing healthy eating thing lately which I'm adamant to stay by so I'm not sure how else to manage the stress.
Thanks for reading and any tips are welcome :)
My advice would be to take a shor break, and do something very nice for yourself, and rejuvinate, and then get back to it.
Stress is unavoidable. We all experience it. If it becomes overwhelming, try to figure out why.
For example, have you had any illnesses that could affect your ability to manage normal activities? Have there been major changes in your relationships? Have you slacked off on your' usual level of activity?
Here is a great video on YouTube by a team whose whole series on a wide range of topics is stellar. Check it (and the others) out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fL-pn80s-c
Me too. :(
I know the feeling. I'm also writing my dissertation right now and it is extremely nerve-wracking.
Will I make the deadline? Will I be ever able to get rid of the extra love-handles I put on as a side-effect of my dissertation? Will my dissertation even be good enough? Is it even worth continuing to write every day, because maybe I won't make it anyway? And what if I should be as lucky as to pass my dissertation, will I be able to succeed in my final tests?
Those and more questions are running through your head. What I tend to tell myself is that I will get rid of the extra pounds I put on, that I will succeed in my dissertation and in my exams and that there will come a time, when I will be able to laugh about the stress and pressure I put myself under.
We can do it! You are not alone :)
