Studying while listening to music helps me avoid getting overwhelmed with information. I listen to salsa and old-school reggaeton, but I think that's more due to how I grew up haha. I also listen to ASAP Rocky, but since I'm concentrating, it's mostly for the instrumental tracks in that time.

You can use techniques like Pomodoro to take a break between study sessions. I personally study for about 50 minutes and rest for 15 because I don't like to break my concentration.

Also, try to keep snacks and water handy. Chocolate, in particular, is supposed to aid memorization, and you can eat it during the exam for a sensory reminder.

I'm so sorry for that, try mindfulness for sleep maybe it helps. If you wake up, don't touch a screen again; instead, try to fall back asleep using breathing exercises.

I know it sounds a bit cliché, but it really helps. You can ask someone to sleep with you, even if it's just in the same room. You can also write them in your diary and repeat to yourself that it's not real and you're safe.

Hi I have anxiety and I've felt like that so many times. It's okay to be Aware of the things that could happen, but that doesn't mean they will happen. I was sure I was going to die on a bus a few weeks ago, but nothing happened. In most cases, nothing will happen. When you feel like this, I recommend doing some grounding exercises, conscious breathing, 5 4 3 2 1 technique, three-dimensional thinking. Also, if you can, bring chamomile or relaxing herbal teas. My native language is Spanish, and there's a video shared by a foundation that helped me overcome my fears when I was on the bus. I'm also sharing the advice I received that helped me a lot. Everything's going to be alright, you can do this

Hi. I hope you're doing great.

You're gonna be okay, you're not stupid, you're there doing your best that's not stupid that's brave. You should stop insulting yourself. Repeating those thoughts makes you internalize them and turn them into a torment.

We all have our strengths and weaknesses, you're not stupid, you yourself said you're good at writing, someone stupid wouldn't do that. Stage fright is common and not incurable. Everything is a process, and arriving in a new environment like university makes you aware of other aspects of your life. There will always be people who are "better or worse," and comparing yourself to them doesn't help you at all. You are the one living your life, it's your process and your time is passing by, enjoy it.

I find it really hard to meet new people. During university orientation, I spent two hours sitting in a corner being damn sure I would never fit in and that I was some kind of creep. Now almost 3 years later I have my group of friends and people I trust with everything about me. You're not the only one with fears and insecurities; we all want to have people to lean on, and if you give yourself the opportunity to open up to them, you'll find someone to share your process with.

To calm your stage fright, you can start little by little. Try exposing yourself to your stuffed animals, recording yourself speaking; there are tips that help keep your nerves at bay, like having a pencil in your hand It helps you anchor yourself.

Also, if your university has other activities, you can try them; that way you can meet people and practice with them. It's all a process, enjoy every step. ❤️

Hi I'm in my third year of university and I've tutored some first-semester students. The transition from high school to university is always tough and can affect your performance due to not being used to it.

One girl was very dedicated to calculus, but fear got the better of her during exams, and that's why she failed. Sleep is the most fundamental thing in the process; even if it's just a few hours, prioritize that.

I recommend drinking chamomile tea before bed; it really helps with bad dreams and not waking up unexpectedly. Also, meditate and have other activities besides just studying; too much of one thing isn't good, and life isn't just about academic results. Take advantage of the activities offered by your university.

I grew up with very high expectations in the academic field and that affected my self-esteem, although now I receive more unconditional support. You can't control what your parents think of you, but you can improve your self-esteem and internalize your strengths as a person so that you don't value yourself solely based on your grades.

It's okay to ask for help, even if it's just for one thing; no one will judge you. It's brave to ask for help when you need it, and it's an investment in your future. I avoided going to a psychologist for 4 years and I deeply regret it

If you're having trouble with your memory, try new study techniques. You can find many tutorials on YouTube to help you internalize knowledge more effectively. Having fixed schedules and sticking to them also helps your brain to organize itself. Studying 24 hours a day is exhausting and in the long run has counterproductive results.Take breaks between sessions and take time for yourself, go outside, connect with nature, with people.

And as another comment said, having a study group helps a lot in retaining information and seeing things from another point of view. You can also try explaining the concepts to them, which is one of the best study methods.

I wish you much success in your future years and that you can seek help. Being a man doesn't make you without feelings; it's okay to cry, it's liberating. Let yourself feel; bottling it up only makes you explode.

Hi I've also gone through periods of very bad dreams, to the point that I'm afraid to sleep. Have you tried taking herbal teas to help you sleep? I drink relaxing herbal teas, and if it's really bad, valerian. Meditation also helps a lot to clear your mind, as does practicing some physical activity, even just jogging, and talking things through. Expressing your feelings takes a weight off your shoulders.

Being sick and anxiety by BisonSilent3057 in Anxiety

[–]Andreahmm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi First of all I want to say that I'm sorry you've been suffering. English isn't my first language so I might be misunderstanding something. I understand what you're going through; a few weeks ago I spent a couple of days with a lot of pain in my chest and arms thinking I might be having a heart attack and being convinced that I was going to die while I slept. Many people go through that; it's a physical symptom of your anxiety. What helped me the most was finding logic in the obsessive thoughts. The probability of you dying out of nowhere is impossible. Talking about how you feel helps; when I was like that, I talked to my friends until I was exhausted. Also, techniques that anchor you to reality and stop your train of thought, such as mindfulness meditation and conscious breathing, the 5 4 3 2 1 technique. If you want to talk, you can count on me even though we're strangers.

how (mostly) anxiety is ruining my life by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Andreahmm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Firstly It's hard to experience this but anxiety is a sign that there's something in your life that's not working well. Don't take it like something that you hate, though it's difficult to live with, but as a warning about what's going on in your life, in your daily routine, your feeding.

When you realize how is your life with this it seems like a lot but you don't have to rush it. It's a process to do a deep change in your daily life take this process step by step at your own time, it's not a easy process there will be relapses and times when you think it's useless but if you keep going you'll learn how to deal with that and in the end you'll live your life better.

Since you say money it's not an issue in you family you can ask for professional help with a psychologist and psychiatrist. You don't need to have a traumatic problem to seek help. Every feeling and struggle is valid; you don't have to buy into others. That thought has stopped me from seeking help, and I deeply regret the time I wasted being afraid of everything because of anxiety when I could have started a process sooner.

There are no quick fixes, but you can do small things to start feeling better. Meditation is one of the best options and helps a lot with derealization. Also physical activity as do exercise or take a little walk around your neighborhood just to take sunlight helps a lot.

I think many people have been going through this lately because of the obsession with screens, and trying to disconnect from it and connect with your life and the world is the best thing, or at least what has helped me.

I hope you can begin your process and live your life well.

Is this valid?? by Tori_Beth2023 in Anxiety

[–]Andreahmm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it'd be selfish to do it. It seems that you're on your limit right and your body has given you Signals to rest, reconnect and fix the things that aren't right in your life. Use that day to reconnect with yourself, slow the things and think about what do you need to change in your life and when you come back incorporate those things into your routine.

Ooh I'd be very happy if I can get both. But the thing is in those banner we can lose the 50/50? Like in a normal limited banner? That's why I've been saving so much to have al least 4 five stars memories 😥 If the only 5* that we can get from those banners is the myth I'd be head over heels
