How do I manage all my stress? I'm starting a new semester at college with a full load of classes that I have to keep getting A's in. I have to take a full load and get A's to keep my scholarships, and without scholarships, I can't go to college. (I can't get loans, that's not an option). I also can't take a break from college or anything like that. I am also in multiple student organizations that also help me get scholarships and prepare me for my career. I do volunteering and attend meetings. On top of this, I also need to start studying for grad school entrance exams and applying to grad school. I also need to work on a research project with a mentor. I also need to talk to more professors more often and get on their good sides so I can get rec letters from them. I also have a job where I tutor and do freelance in my free time so I can afford my rent. I am also trying to work out more often so my doctors will take me seriously. I also take care of my parents. On top of all that, I have Celiac Disease and must research all my meals, I have arthritis and other chronic pain, I have anemia, and I also have painful periods. I also get open wounds and infections very often. I'm also immunocompromised. My health requires a lot of care and I get tired easy. I would also like to have a social life of at least some type, or else I will go insane. Any tips for managing everything? I already make to-do lists and planners so I worry less, but it's still just so much I have to do.
Based on the experiences shared, some strategies that could help include reaching out to professors and explaining your situation, they may be able to work with you and provide some flexibility. You could also consider taking advantage of any resources your school has to offer. Taking breaks, ensuring you get enough sleep, and eating well can also help manage stress and maintain energy levels. It might be beneficial to do your work in small chunks and consider online classes if possible. Contacting the disability office at your college could provide extra time on assignments and tests or reschedule them if you have flare-ups. Using calendars, lists, agendas etc. to stay organized and limit distractions could also be helpful. Remember to be kind to yourself and take things slower when needed.
