Introduction….
The purpose of my blogs is to relate to other people and show people that it’s okay that people struggle with everyday living. Nobody is perfect and we all struggle. Which is why I called my blogs “blog friends”. Most of my blogs are going to be about how I struggle with anxiety with school and work and home life and how I overcome it. Different techniques that help me everyday that might help others.
On that note let me tell you a little about my story. This is actually my last semester at Lackawanna, and this semester I decided to work full-time. The others semesters I was actually working part time at a retail store. Which after four years I had to leave. I was becoming super unhappy and there was different management controlling the store, which wasn’t the best thing . Everything became super stressful and I was just coming home super angry every night, which is unhealthy. At one point I was also working two jobs when I was a freshman in college. Coming home every night after working long hours and going to school all day, to do schoolwork was not fun at all . Now especially this semester that I am working full-time and still having to come home to clean , cook , get my stuff ready is so stressful at night. I feel like I really have no time to myself. Which makes me upset sometimes. Some days I have remind myself to take some time to relax and do different techniques to calm me down. Throughout these blogs I will share some things that really helped me.
I definitely hear you! I also work full time, a mom of a 2 year old who is delayed, 22 weeks pregnant and full time at Lackawanna. It is definitely a lot! During my years of doing this I realized I just needed to set time aside for myself. My boyfriend helps me a lot with our daughter which lifts the most weight off me but I still handle all the household duties. It is overwhelming, try giving yourself time for self care even if it is to pause and sit on the couch for a few minutes to breathe. It goes a long way! Wishing you the best.
