Being stressed and anxious as I think you are mate has a physical effect also. Your mental and physical health are intrinsically linked m8. Have you enquired about extenuating circumstances due to mental stress. Hardly likely to decline your request on those grounds. Try if possible to plan your week. Perhaps 2 or three hours a day for two days and the third day off. I've just had to do a paper on mentorship in mental health. Went back to it after 2 days and reviewed what I'd written. Horrible ! You need a break from academia Zezti because I think so it's subjective, the quality of your work suffers if it's all enveloping. Ask for extenuating circumstances on your deadline buddy, they may be sympathetic. Good luck my friend.
I think it was doing an all-nighter, on top of very large amounts of caffeine that may have done it. Still stressed, but not feeling that heartbeat thing for the past few days. If I feel it again I might get an appointment. First thing I want to try is just removing the source of the stress.
I've already used self-certified claims for ext. circumstances a couple times this year. Doing so again would lead to some kind of meeting that I just don't want to deal with. I think I can manage this one. Although its 4000 words its just 10% of the grade for my dissertation (due in Sept) so not the end of the world if it isn't up to a great standard.
in return.
Sorry to hear that mate. Any specific trigger for it you care to share or just life in general?
Is there anything recently that has changed that accounts for the shift? If not Covid has forced a lot of stresses on everyone over the past year or so and that might just be catching up with you.
Glad to hear you have got an appointment and skipping alcohol seems wise, hope both bring an improvement but if you need to talk in the meantime please don’t hesitate x
Sorry to hear you are not feeling great. Maybe you are still grieving for your Nana. Hope your can talk it through at your counselling session.
