(Mental Health) Mid-Week Check in?

[mello]

Hey guys! We're halfway through the week so I just thought I'd ask how everyone is doing so far. How's school/college or uni? How's work? How's your mental? You need anyone to talk to?
Let me know :')

Ill start it off.
I'm hanging in there. My teachers are assigning LARGE amounts of work, and many parents are complaining already (lol) I can't wait until this year is over and I graduate. That seems like it is going to be an exciting time in my life. Work has been pretty annoying for me because of the workload at school, I have to do hw on my breaks at work. Mentally, I'm struggling a bit. Life's a bit tiring and stressful but I'm starting to get back into my art so that's helping.

I hope you all are doing well and are enjoying life! I'm always open if you need to talk and I can't emphasize enough how important it is to maintain your mental health and well-being. I love you guys! <33333

*i also plan on replying to everyone i can <333

Lots of changing at work and more coming with the covid wave we’ve entered here. So it’s keeping me busy but adding a degree of stress.

Yeah same here, I work at a grocery store and live with immunocompromised family members so it's quite stressful dealing with many customers who feel so entitled regarding the mask wearing. Only upside to my job atm is having money :v

I definitely am not in the position to complain about my life right now.. but I’ve been pretty emotional recently. A lot of great things have happened to me, new car, new pc.. School always makes me stressed but when I think about how much better college has been than high school, it makes me not stressed haha. But I’ve been just crying a lot so idk what’s up with that lol. I just discribe my self right now as ‘overwhelmed’ u,u

Never, ever, ever think you are not in a position to complain about something you're going through just because you've had good things happen to you. You are entitled to your feelings like everyone else. That being said, if you ever need someone to talk to, vent to or just listen - you can always send me a message and I'll be there for you. Don't invalidate your emotions just because you've had great things happening. <3

that's completely understandable hei, I'm a pretty emotional dude myself. Crying for no reason may not necessarily be for "no reason". It could be the buildup of stress subconsciously that just needs to be let out. crying is awesome and relieves a lot of pent up shit for me. im happy to hear that you have some great stuff going on in your life rn though! that's wassup. I can't until I finally save enough money for my pc build. <333

facts man! good things ≠ happiness in any regard. and just as Echo mentioned heidi my messages are open if you ever need someone to talk to!

My teachers are assigning LARGE amounts of work

I feel this right now. I am a junior in college now, and I feel like I am putting more work into school now than I ever have, and my professors are just LOADING on work to do.

My biochemistry lecture class is ridiculous. It is supposed to meet twice a week for 80 minutes where we would go through lectures. Instead, the professor is listing 3+ hours of lectures to watch outside of that class time before also having to meet for the 80 minute class twice a week to work on practice assignments that are only worth 2 freaking points! And to make it worse, he posts the lectures less than 24 hours before they need to be watched.

It is incredibly frustrating!

Sounds like a professor who thinks only their class and their workload is important. I'm sorry you're dealing with that. Do your best and try to manage your stress levels as well as you can. Stress can physically make you sick, so stay on top of it. (I got shingles a couple years ago from being overly stressed, it's crazy)

yeah man, many people outside our age group think we happen to be lazy and that we don't do anything but that is completely incorrect. School is nothing like it was 20+ years ago. Most students work part time jobs and are full time students as well. Especially in current day, where COVID is running rampant and virtual courses seem like the norm for now, it makes everything ten times more difficult. I hope you can hang in there! I would suggest evaluating things you currently have that take time out of your schedule. Obviously I don't mean stop having hobbies or anything like that because they are essential to our mental health, but anything small like eating or anything like that, try and merge them with other productive things so you can try and stay on top of the ASS LOAD of work your profs are giving you. Stay sane out here man. <3

I'm stressed due to school. My professors don't even teach they just have us watch their old 3 hours and 8 part lectures. I'm basically paying to self-teach myself.

 

[ghost]

School doesnt make me all that stressed but i hate it. too early. work is cutting down on hours so im basically working two hours a week or less. Ive applied for unemployment so hopefully i hear good news back from that but you never know. sometimes i feel super lonely also which is never good for me but im trying

 

[DeerFat]

I slept terribly today and woke up 1 hour before school, when I'm soppose to wake up 3 hours before it.

 

[nitro]

since I'm going to have a lot more time now, I've been trying to find a job that I can work considering my state is opening back up, so that will keep me busy. I've been feeling quite good, lot's of kind messages from people, even ones who I thought hated me, so I'm definitely happier than normal. school isn't too bad either, just a bit hard.

i'm just doing

ahh waking up is hard for me too lol. Especially because i work late shifts at my job so balancing that and getting sleep for school is difficult. Hopefully we wont be stuck like this forever! <3
