A Simple Hack for Managing School Anxiety
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a small but powerful hack that really helped me that really helped me manage severe school anxiety and school refusal.
Each night, I’d write myself a quick note with the next day’s plan—where I needed to go, the times of my classes, any important materials, or reminders about upcoming assignments. Having this small list made me feel more prepared and in control, helping to clear my mind and ease the anxiety I often felt.
It’s a simple, discreet routine that doesn’t require anything fancy—just a piece of paper and a pen—but it made a huge difference for me. I could read the note anytime during the day, no matter where I was, which was really reassuring. Just knowing it was always with me gave me a sense of calm. I hope this can help someone else who might be struggling.
Take care!
@Mya000 hello ^-^ that's an awesome way to keep track of everything. The feeling that we're prepared makes it all so much easier, things in our head are always floating around and making it appear like there's soo much that needs to be done but it all feels manageable when written somewhere. I like to tick mark things that are done, feels like an accomplishment :D
I'm glad you have this and I hope this post reaches to those who needs it <3

This is so helpful! Having a plan laid out beforehand can definitely ease a lot of anxiety, especially when it comes to managing school related stress. Writing things down can make everything feel more manageable and it’s great that it worked so well for you! The simplicity of it is key - sometimes the most effective strategies don’t have to be complicated.
