Just finished my last exam and feeling extremely relieved and happy and tired and a bit overwhelmed. Psychology is such an amazing subject and I’m a bit sad i won’t be continuing it. Can’t believe how fast the first year of uni went! Best wishes to everyone still sitting exams :) you can do it!

Hey, everyone! While stress is something we’ve all probably experienced due to studying or school to some extent, when a person is exposed to chronic stress for a long period of time, it can lead to a burnout. As a result, you might be constantly exhausted, frustrated, lose motivation and interest in things you were once passionate about,experience a decrease in performance, and may even experience more serious physical symptoms, among other things. Going through this while still in school makes recovery extremely difficult, so here are a few tips I’ve used to help overcome my own burnout enough so that I could complete high school and be on the mend.

Identify the cause of your stress This can be easier said than done and can require a great deal of introspection, but taking the time to identify the source of your stress will greatly help you target it in a way to reduce its impact. Start looking at it from a broad sense. Is school the cause, or is it other external factors i.e. at home, relationships, etc.? Try to narrow down this broad stressor to identify what more specifically triggers your stress. It may be one single trigger that has been constant for a significant amount of time, or possibly a constant stream of smaller stresses culminating into one.

Tell someone Once you know what exactly it is that has caused your stress and led to a burnout, it’s important that you establish a network of support to lean on. The simple act of talking about what is stressing you can help immensely. Plucking up the courage to talk to someone can be very difficult but definitely pays off in the long run. Whether it be a friend, a family member, or whoever you’re most comfortable talking to, they can offer you strategies to cope, a person to vent to, and more.

Talk to your teachers When you’re burnt out it can be extremely difficult to wade your way through your commitments and obligations and make any progress. If you talk to your teacher about your situation, they’ll likely be very understanding. Discuss possible extensions or how you can make up for what you’ve missed if you’ve been absent. Ask them what you need to do for your class. What is important and what isn’t? Knowing this will allow you to better manage your time later.

Make a list of what needs to be done and prioritise it Having identified from your teachers what you need to do, compiling a list gives you a visual indication of what needs to be completed. Prioritising each item in the list from most to least important will allow you to work through what is most important and will hopefully reduce your stress having completed it.

Slowly work through the list The complete lack of motivation to work that might accompany your burnout will likely make you want to set aside your tasks for a later date when you’re not so stressed and procrastinate, but it’s important that you start to chip away at the workload as soon as you’re able. Don’t do it all at once! Set yourself small and realistic goals each day to achieve. You could use the pomodoro technique to work through your tasks. Ask for support from those around you to help you.

Set aside time each day to completely disconnect from work As a way to try and reduce your stress, make sure you set aside time each day for something relaxing or that you’re passionate about. Try to use this time to separate yourself from your stressors. There are a ton of de-stressing posts on tumblr you could look into! Here are a few;

Stress reduction

Stress reliefs

Make sure you’re keeping healthy Don’t neglect eating, sleeping, socialising, or exercising!! This will only make you more stressed.

Don’t take on any unnecessary additional commitments In order to manage your stress and overcome burnout, adding additional commitments may only add to your stress and make recovery more difficult. Don’t be afraid of saying ’no’.

Reassess your goals Are they unrealistic? If yes, you may need to adjust them or set yourself many small goals to achieve the ultimate one. Rely on your group of support to help you work towards it.

Don’t make any drastic changes suddenly Make sure you fully think through any significant changes you might be considering and its implications.

Consult a medical professional if necessary

I hope this can help some of you reduce your stress and overcome burnouts if you experience them. These steps helped greatly helped me make my way through finishing high school, having seriously considered dropping out because of the stress I experienced, as well as the physical strain I felt. While I can’t say I’ve fully recovered, I have managed to graduate high school feeling confident about my grades and am slowly regaining the passion I once had for dance. My inbox is always open if you’d like to talk!

Caring can take a lot of work, and it can be hard and painful. But caring enough to do something and take action can make the world a better place! 🌎✨

Hello tumblr world!

I haven’t really been on tumblr... my last post was like actually almost a year ago (like 10 months ago). I was curious to see how active tumblr is these days. I asked on my Instagram story, and it was not super surprising. It was a small sample size of about 38 people who responded to the poll, about 32% of them still use tumblr. I do like using tumblr as a quick way to keep a collection of food pics, stationery pics, and fashion pics, and let’s not forget the drama/show gifs.

Debating if I should come back to using tumblr. I’ve been mostly studying these days. I feel like my voice also changed in terms of how I write now (did I mature?)... we shall see!
