I Can't Cope!
-
If the stress is too much,
STOP! Take a deep breath, stand up and stretch
your tired muscles. Take a break.
-
Ask yourself whether this will
really matter in five hours (or five days) time, and what is the worst thing
that would happen if you didn’t do it.
-
Think about what you have to do,
and prioritise. Don’t set yourself unattainable targets, but congratulate
yourself when you get just the most important job done.
-
If you feel hopeless and
pessimistic, cannot concentrate or make decisions and no longer find pleasure
in former interests or hobbies, consult your GP immediately as you may
be suffering from clinical depression.

meditate and stretch, time management and other helpful information. This page

depression and some more detailed questions to discover whether you may be
suffering from this illness.
