I think that this time around, going to college has taught me how to manage my work, but also how to manage my stress better. Going to therapy provided by CU has been honestly my saving grace, and I know that this attempt at getting help is going to be the most lasting experience. Knowing how to communicate my priorities to others feels so much easier, and communicating to myself that I'm stressed and knowing that it'll pass has been such a relief. Asking for help for anything major has always been a struggle for me, but knowing that it's normal and okay to ask for help almost feels like a superpower I just found out that I have.

ReplyDeleteI've been told the earlier its done, the easier it is to address things and develop healthy lifestyle patterns - especially stress management. My Dr. suggested it to me when my stress levels started giving me numerous health issues - and warned me that can have longterm consequences. Crazy what stress can do to the body! Anyways, I put it off for so long was because I didn't have health insurance and couldn't afford it but I am so grateful CU is providing it to students in need.
