Stress could cause lack of sleep i know, but could lack of sleep cause stress?like an evil sircle?
I have lots of things bothering me and I feel exhausted, Im to tired to work and im stressed because I cant work. GAHRG
Yesterday I trashed half of my room just because I could not find my wallet!
I need to find a way to relax.
Normaly id play video games to relax but that doesnt seem to help anymore, it only makes things worse.
Any thing you know about that could help me get all the aggresion and anxiety out so I can do some work?
When I get stressed out, I usually find that it is better to remove the source of the stress (in this case: get your homework done) and then you'll be able to relax. However, sometimes we cannot remove ourselces from the source of the stress, because it is something like school in general (which we legally have to go to) or family problems (you can't just run away into the countryside), or things like that. In that case, try to set aside a little time for yourself for things like meditation, reading a book, or taking a nap. Then confron the homework.
It also sounds like you may need to be a little more organized in general (if you trashed half of your room looking for your wallet). Like Robot Butler said, get a planner, and write down the things you need to do AS SOON AS YOU GET THEM. Don't put it off, or you'll never be able to get things done, as simple as that.
Also try to keep things like work areas and your bedroom (and other places you spend a lot of time in) relatively organized (this does NOT mean spotless ), and easy to manuver in. Organize things by putting them in boxes, folders, etc (and there are cheap ways to do this, such as shoe boxes labeled with a Sharpie marker. Grocery/department stores often have boxes that they'll let you have). Have a place for everything (such as your wallet) and make sure that it goes in the same place EVERY time (from personal experience, this can be hard but it helps!). I have a small basket that my iPod, wallet, and other "daily" items go into so that they do not get lost.
I understand that, if you share a room, roomates/siblings are not always cooperative. In that case, control the things that you can control, and accept that there will be chaos in your life.
It may not be a bad idea to tell others in your house what you're trying to do. They will probably by supportive, and even try to help you keep your goals with reminders and encouragement.
I also understand that this seems like a lot of stuff to do (and it is), but in time, it will become easy...second nature. Just keep at it, and you'll find that life gets A LOT easier! And if you find that something isn't working for you, then change it; make it so that it will work for you. If this general model works for you, great. If not, personalize it to where you can function in it.
Good luck!
