How to be less prickly when stressed
We’ve all been there. Feeling so stressed that you take it out on other people. I personally suffered from this a lot, because I didn’t know how to cope with stress properly. This little guide is for all of you that don’t know how to cope with the prickly behavior and anger that may come with stress.
I know how it feels to just want to plow on and not take breaks. The stress gets the better of you and, in the end, you don’t get much work done. You work slower and less effectively under stress so taking breaks is what you should do! During your breaks, you should really look for something that involves you leaving your desk. Things like sports or hobbies will help you clear your head and get rid of some of that anger.
decorate your bullet journal
organise your study materials
take a nap (20-30 minutes work best!)
If you’re all over the place with your notes and aren’t organised, the stress-levels will rise. Keeping a bullet journal or making a study planner will help with this!

Having a good support system behind you can really make the difference.I know I can turn to my family or friends if I need to talk about anything. Unfortunately, not everyone has a support system like mine. It’s important to remember that there is always somewhere for you to go.
Your parents: they probably know you better than you do.
Siblings: if you’re reluctant to go to your parents for various reasons, you can turn to your sibs for some family comfort
Friends: they might have different opinions than you and your fam, so they can offer you a fresh perspective
Teachers: if you’re having a hard time with school, you can go to your teachers for help! most teachers really want their students to do well, so they’re likely to help you
Studyblr community: the studyblr community is such a nice place to turn to for help. i’ve personally gotten a lot of help for various assignments!
Looking after yourself is super important!!! Taking some alone time can calm you down and relax you. Taking breaks and self care are often linked, because they have a similar effect.
