Stress, Worry and Anxiety Are All Different. How Do You Cope With Each?

What role do worry, stress or anxiety play in your life? How much do they affect your life, in and out of school? What details from the article, if any, resonate with your own experiences — or with what you have observed in family or friends?

The biggest stressor for me personally is getting left behind. For example when my grades aren’t as good as I want them or when I don’t feel included in anything I want to be apart of.

This has been affecting me a lot recently as my grades have dropped causing me to lose all motivation to work. I always avoid the issue which causes me to procrastinate and stress more. It’s weird because you’d think being stressed about grades would make you work harder, instead, I completely shut down.

“Get clear on what you can and can’t control” is really good advice. instead of looking at the big mound of things I need to do, I should focus on what I can do now as to not overwhelm myself.

But lucky for me, exams are cancelled.
