Lately I feel really anxious due to the fact that I have exams coming up in college. I have a lot of parental pressure to be succesful even though I choose this field of psychology to free myself from my demons. Not to have more pressure to be successful and be the certain kind of psychologist that my Dad wants me to be. Itβs very hard. My anxiety has led me to procrastinate over and over again and I find myself bundled up with so much anxiety that I just waste my day unable to do anything. It all started as a spiral from feeling overwhelmed due to course work and online classes with having to stare at my phone and feeling so overwlemed by my hectic schedule. i kept on procrastinating and it feels like now iβm paying for it as Iβm so overburdened that I donβt even know where to really start
Hey hey hey! Itβs okay for you to feel like this, I understand what place youβre coming from because Iβve been there too, it sucks I know. Do you want to talk about it? Iβm here for you :)
Thank you. Thatβs so sweet of you.
Everything feels really anxious, like itβs progressively building up and getting worse. I feel like itβs getting to a point where itβs really getting out of hand, where I canβt stop and take a breather. Like I just keep spiraling in more and more.
I totally feel your situation, itβs an indefinite loop because youβre not able to work since your mental health sucks, and your mental health gets worse because youβre not able to work.
I believe the only way out of it is introspection, contemplation and planning.
You can connect with me if you want to talk, we can get out of it together :)
