school
the stress of being a senior in high school really started to kick in this semester. i’m taking 4 of my core classes that are required to graduate in comparison to me taking 2 core classes and 2 art electives. i already obtain the responsibility of expenses such as car payments, so i work at least 25 hours a week. my time management has not been great due to the countless errands i need to run, school, and work. it is slowly diminishing my mental health and i know this is my last semester before college but it is getting hard. i know i’m not alone and i have some guidance, however i wish i had more when it comes to applying to colleges with my parents and having support and financial stability and knowledge. this is only my first week back, and i graduate in 4 months but i’ve been thrown into all of my classes and have received major projects and a test for a class i just started with minimal instruction. the work load is a lot and i work night shifts, i just need a setting ground of what to do to manage my time and stress while still having a balance with work and school and friends
the way i have been eating is not good either i usually eat a meal a day, and two if i’m lucky. i’ve also been experiencing little sleep and sleep paralysis when i do. i have no time to workout anymore so that’s out of the book and barely no time to clean my room.

I understand what you are going through. Seems like you are feeling immense pressure due to responsibilities and courses, and it seems it is getting hard to manage time and balance work, school and life. I remember being in a similar scenario, and I too struggled with managing time, which affected my mental health too. Honestly, I don’t know, where would I be if my friend didn’t help me at that time. He guided me to prioritize both my schedule and expectations – work only on what’s important/necessary first – for my health and life. I did that and it worked for me.
I'm thinking of you and I hope you will figure it all out soon.
