How to find MOTIVATION TO STUDY in the SPRING

The sun is shining, the skies are blue, and you’re stuck inside trying to study. Out of any other time of the year, for me, this is the hardest time to study. Not only is it so close to the end of the academic year, meaning SUMMER, the weather is finally starting to get better and the last thing you want to be doing is studying inside. Having said that, the weather at the moment is far from inspiring either, but let’s assume that the sun will come out soon!

10 Tips for the Chronically Ill Student

5 Tips to Help with Anxiety

I’ve suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for as long as I’ve been diagnosed with ME/CFS, but before that it wasn’t really something that I had experienced.

The reason I’m writing this post now is because this has been playing on my mind a lot this week. For Uni, I have two presentations that I have to do in a few weeks; one, a 15 minute presentation to do on my own, and the other a 10 minute presentation in pairs.

I can already feel myself getting anxious about these, but not only that, also about the fact that it would not be impossible for me to have a panic attack before, during or after the presentation, which is causing me to feel more anxious and it just goes on. The more anxious I feel, the more likely it is that I will have a panic attack, and because I’m feeling anxious about having the panic attack, it’s increasing the chances that I will have one – does that make sense?
