School and Anxiety

[Shutterfly]

I have just over 4 weeks to finish 5 assignments. I'm starting to worry that I won't finish in time cause whenever I near the end of a course my anxiety level becomes high.

Hi Shutterfly nice to meet you. It's hard to give you any advice about your anxiety without knowing your age. How old are you please?

Hi,I'm in my 30s and have gone back to school. I have also seeked a bit of help at school and see a councillor once a month.

Thanks. Because you mentioned school I was worried you were under age to be on here.

I went through university as well as a mature student and my anxiety levels went through the roof too, not only at exam time but also throughout the course. I think this is quite natural.

Why not have a word with the counsellor there for any tips on how to cope with the anxiety? If you think you are suffering from anxiety which is a permanent problem then you need to seek medical help.

Good luck.

Try to make a to do list. That helped me in high school. Just make a step by step list of what you need to do. Try to do the most important things first. Just take everything day by day. You will get through it. Just breathe. At the end you will be relieved and proud of yourself because you know you deserve it.

That's a good idea, I should write them down it might better then just storing the steps in my head.
