That's how I'm feeling right now. I've got a major assignment looming, am only current on the current week of my university work (as opposed to ahead so I can actually *do* the assignment), the house is a mess, I need to find a second student placement (and believe me the first one was a struggle to find though it ended up awesome). Oh, and somewhere in there I need to be a mother and have a life.I had the flu for almost three weeks. Which meant any advances I made, promptly disappeared. And then we had three public holidays in a two week period. Now for most people, this means extra study time... but as a solo parent, not so much.
So I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. I felt my anxiety levels rising quite dramatically this morning. So I've done some mindfulness meditation - I am a little bit in love with Smiling Mind at the moment. I've then cracked on with it, asked my tutor for an extension on the assignment, and I'm using this post to clear my head a bit before hitting the books again.Do you ever feel like a huge wave is about to come crashing down on you? How do you manage the anxiety it produces?
Cheers, KangaRue :)
I don't have as much going on but can certainly relate to feeling overwhelmed. And like you mundane household chores are usually the biggest sign that I'm struggling - untidy house, grocery shopping not done etc. But, eventually I get on top of things - setting only VERY small goals!
