My greatest sources of stress and anxiety include school, academics and health. In past years I’ve had a hard time creating friendships and staying in them. I would find it very difficult to come out of my comfort zone and ask somebody if they wanted to be friends. Now, I have no problem with making new friends because I find college a ton easier with forming relationships. College is all about joining clubs and getting the experience on your resume. But when it comes to test taking, my anxiety builds up. I get very nervous and my heart starts beating very fast. The same happens when I’m about to present in class. Lately, I’ve been very conscious of what I eat so I don’t fall into that ‘Freshman 15’ myth. I try to exercise whenever I can but it’s difficult with my new soon-to-be college schedule. To conclude, I try to be aware of how my stress levels have been rising with the start of my new life here at Kean University and hopefully I can keep them on the down low with some helpful tips and tricks.
I encounter many sources of stress and anxiety. My academics is the greatest source of worry in my life. Without an education I don't envision a future, it is crucial that I attend a four year university. College can take a toll in someones life and that concerns me. I will be consumed with research papers, test, and midterms. I have to be capable of balancing an abundance of school work as well as my social life. When Im not absorbed with academics I am at work. School is very demanding in my life.
My greatest source of stress and anxiety come from not being able to deliver on what I promised. What that means is that I say I can do something but forget, or I'm just too lazy to do it. What this falls under as well is when I do my school work. Whenever I have an assignment that is due at a certain point, I always get the anxiety that I will not be able to finish it in time. Work that is due under a timeline is what gives me the most stress and anxiety.
My greatest source of stress would have be academics, and people I've struggled with learning every since 1st grade. I never tested well. Spelling is a very difficult task for me and so was reading. This would make my anxiety go out the roof. Second guessing was pretty much second nature to me. I would always let my self over think. from the simplest things that i know I shouldn't need too, but I regularly felt I wasn't good enough I wasn't smart. This ties into how people my peers would also give me anxiety. Since i struggle in my classes i was always pulled out for extra help and as your get older your classes mates soon find out why. I was bothered by the fact I had to leave and that my friends knew. I never wanted to talk about it and they never asked. Which was great however it worried me that people would leave me for not understanding a lesson in class or not being able to read at a higher level then them. I made change in how i worked and worked harder. stayed after to help and practice al lot. There was definitely change in my academics and my stress and nervousness seem to subside. I may still struggle with learning and wondering if people like me but I know how to not let that effect my everyday life.
My greatest source of stress and anxiety would be academically into testing. Specifically, there’ll always be a time limit regardless of the type of test. The anxiety will usually kick in whenever the time is almost up, in which my mind would be all over the place. Negative thoughts such as, “not knowing if I’ll be able to finish or not” would come into mind. In order to confront such anxiety, I would normally answer the questions that would easily come from the top of my head. As a result of that, anxiety/stress can be prevented from academically into testing.
My greatest sources of stress and anxiety include work and school. When I am at work, I have to deal with impolite, irksome and cheap clients. Since the store is small only a manager and a sale associate run the floor so I have to deal with about 2-4 different clients at the same time. Sometimes, I would feel overwhelmed and I start experiencing headaches and I start to sweat a lot. The way I deal with this, I ask my manager to switch places with me until I calm down. On the other hand, since I decided to go back to school, I've been nervous and started overthink that college is going to be a real challenge but I constantly remind myself to focus in class and just remain postive.
My greatest source of stress or anxiety would have to be when I have to take a long test determining where I would be in the end. For example, the SATs is a long exam that I believe does not do justice to those who have good grades and academics skills but are poor test takers, tests like these are frustrating because one exam can ruin you despite all the work you put into getting to the final . I begin to stress out when I know I have to take an exam that takes a good amount of time to complete and will determine where I have to go to next. In conclusion, my stress and anxiety starts to get a hold of me when I know I have to take a very important an long lasting assessment determining my future.
For as long as I can remember my greatest source of stress was academics. Ever since I was young I always felt like I was a couple steps behind the other students in my class. For some reason, the answers would come so quickly to them. Although, for me it would take a couple more minutes to process the question and then build my answer. At the time I felt like I was all alone and no one could understand why the answers wouldn't come as quickly. Comprehending what I was reading was another weakness I struggled with growing up. As school went on, and the work load got harder I started to fall behind. I soon got a tutor to help me in areas that I struggled with. As I got older I still struggled with my schoolwork. Despite my academic stress, I have learned to succeed by getting help and staying organized.
My greatest source of stress and anxiety is people. Having social anxiety throughout my life I’ve learn to adjust and adapt with it during my many encounters and scenarios. Letting one’s expectation of myself and overthinking in many situations has let me suffer with my disorder. Criticisms and judgement from others spark the stress and anxiety within me, even at times I’ll do it to myself subconsciously. Which results in panic attacks and distrust in my part. But what I do to cope is mentally preparing myself for the interaction and stop overthinking. Taking deep breaths and understand that its normal to panic but don’t stress about. The more you stress about it, the more you lose control on the real situation at hand that has put you in that situation.
My greatest source of stress and anxiety is having to take a long test that will impact my grade. This happens when I have a low grade in a class and needing to get a particular grade to pass that class. The stress begins when the teacher puts the test on your desk and knowing that you're being timed. To me, it's like a life or death situation. When I'm in a position like this, I tried to stay calm and answer the simple questions that I know the answer to. Now that I’m in college, I will stay focused and not let stress take over me when taking these exams.
Stress can normally come from the difficulty of certain situations. In result, it causes one to feel overwhelmed or anxious. For me, my greatest source of stress is public speaking. Whenever I get in front of a large group of people to present an assignment, my palms begin to sweat and my heart is pounding with fear. I remember when my English teacher told me that I should pace myself, instead of trying to rush through the presentation. Most of the time, I would go to my teacher after school to practice reading calmly and at a moderate pace. After practicing every day, I started to get a little more comfortable with this skill. Overall, I learned that from that day on, relieving your stress and staying positive can make you overcome your challenges.
My greatest sources of stress and anxiety would most likely have to be school. The end of a marking period will have me on the edge of my seat for at least a week straight. At night I can go to sleep, but only to wake up to me not being able to concentrate on anything else except for my grades. My greatest source of stress would have to come from myself and worrying if I make use of the time I spend in college. Now that I actually have to pay for school, I feel that I can't slack off and not make an attempt to do my best. Yet at the same time I fear that I may spend four years majoring in something that I might not be doing in the future.
Anxiety and stress seems to be something that I struggle with on a daily. Growing up with a single mother and seeing her having to deal with raising three kids on her own was challenging. I feel that this is where I learned how to deal with stress and anxiety, through seeing my mother deal with it. She did her best to mask her emotions when times got too rough for her, but children are very observative and I never failed to notice anytime she was stressed. Now being a young adult on my own in college, I see my self carrying on the same tendencies of being stressed and anxious in even the smallest situations. It all comes from not having control over particular situations. It gives me a sense of feeling powerless and that leads into the process of overthinking. From there I begin to list multiple negative outcomes for situations, stressing myself out making me anxious throughout the day. My hands begin to sweat, I get short of breath, and I get stuck in my head. This is why to most people I seem quiet and shy, but really it is just me drowning in my own thoughts. I have high hopes that college teaches me to have control over my emotions better, and to not be so anxious or stressed when I do not have all the control over situations.
Personally I don't worry or have as much anxiety as the next person. I feel as though I worry to a certain extent about important things but it doesn't drive me crazy. It's either I'm ready for whatever is coming or I'm not and I just have to deal with what happens. But, if I did have to identify what one of the things that do cause me any worry at all would probably be public speaking in front of a group. Don't get me wrong, I do like being the certain of attention but only in a small intimate sense, not where all eyes are on me in a large setting. If I have to present a project or talk about a controversial subject in front of a class or an even bigger group than that, I will have a small amount of anxiety about if I'll mess up my words or stutter. I do sweat a little when I'm reading or talking about something important. Other than in these specific situations, I usually am nonchalant about upcoming events unless I'm excited about something. I can't really see myself put into the ”worrier” or ”anxious” personality category.
My greatest source of anxiety comes from school, being self conscious, and irrational thoughts. I get extremely anxious after a test or a an assignment because I always doubt myself, I always believe I will get a bad grade, especially in English. I also am self concious of my appearance and overall self. I think certain things are my fault even though they are not. I used to believe everyone disliked me but I became more selfless and understood that the world doesn't revolve around me and everyone has their own issues. I also get irrational thoughts when, for example, my mom does not pick up her phone, I immediately start thinking that she is in trouble and something terribly wrong happened to her. Overall these are the scenarios that mostly cause my anxiety.
