14.10.2020 // i cannot keep my focus today.. might just take a couple hours off, an early afternoon break sounds pretty inviting, hopefully it’ll help and i can get cracking on some physiology work

day 14 - What are some of your study essentials?

here’s a little what’s in my pencil case:) it’s what i’d be bringing to uni  if we had in person lectures... as it happens, we only have labs rn and i don’t need more than a gel pen and pencil with me, so most of these items have migrated to the drawers of my desk/pencil holders. other essentials i can’t study without include fuzzy socks, my ipad for note taking, and w a t e r (stay hydrated kids, be a hydrohomie (thanks @acadhr for expanding my vocab in the best of ways!))

Surviving university when you have anxiety or depression

(These are things that have helped me when I have bad days, they might not relate specifically to you)

- Speak to your tutor early on, they will then be aware in case anything happens and you may need an extension or time off further down the line. We also had lecturers record their sessions and send them directly to someone who wasn’t well enough to go in.

- See what support is available at your university. Most universities in the UK (not sure about other countries) offer so many therapy sessions to help with the common uni things such as stress, time management, homesickness, etc. as well as more ‘focused’ sessions. These are really helpful if you have one particular thing you want help with.

- Meal prep! This is one of my favourite things because we all have those days were we don’t have the energy to cook something and it is so handy to have pre-made, nutritious meals in your freezer which you can just heat up.

- Try and do a little bit of studying, even on the days you feel really shit. Even if it is just 15 minutes reading an article or journal, it is something to motivate you and, if you are anything like me, my depression doesn’t want me to study but then my anxiety starts freaking out if I don’t and I always feel worse if I go to bed that night and haven’t done anything at all. 

- Speak to people. It doesn’t even have to be about what is going on but that little bit of human contact can help massively! I tend to ring my sister when I feel bad because she can talk for hours about anything and everything so it gives me something to focus on until my brain calms down.

- Find what helps you! Some people prefer talking therapy, others prefer meds. Some prefer exercise, others prefer creative out lets. Find something that helps you realise and stick with it, there is no right or wrong way.
