Need advise re: studying when having depression.
Hi. Are there any full time working adults here who are juggling studies part time, too? Ive been contemplating on going back to school part time, and Im wondering if anyone can advise, give insights etc anything useful. Like how do you cope the daily pressures of your daily tasks at work and study/ complete assignments/ study for exams? Especially the studying bit as my concentration, memory and focus are still a little poor.
Thanks in advance for any replies, if there are any :)
@SailingFox I am just about to start school, and I'm also working a job. So I don't know much about that yet, but there are some people in my support group who juggle school, work, and depression, and the good news is that it certainly can be done! They take it slow: one girl only takes two classes currently. You have to accept your limits and just take baby steps. Over time, you might be able to take on more classes at once without getting overwhelmed. The important thing is just going a tiny bit out of your comfort zone without going so far out that you shut down. It is a journey!
@scarletOrange1253 hi! Thanks so much for your input and sharing your knowledge with me! I appreciate it. Yea, Ive decided to stop worrying and just go for it, have fun learning while giving back to society 😅 I think if my work gets too much, Ill just have a chat with my boss on how much I can take to balance with my studies. Once again, thank you! 😘 Ill bear your advise in mind.
@scarletOrange1253 This is some really good input! Thank you for sharing.
