Anxiety affecting my school work?!
Question: Anxiety affecting my school work!?
I have anxiety issues and although I am seeing a therapist, I still feel extremely anxious sometimes and I can't think straight because of the racing thoughts!. I've tried meds and I didn't like it so now I am off of them!. I've tried writing in a journal which sometimes helps but other times the anxious thoughts just come back!. I feel like it's affecting my school work because I can't concentrate on what I am supposed to be doing!. I feel like maybe if my professors knew they'd cut me some slack but then I feel like using the anxiety is just a cop-out and I should just work harder!. I am so frustrated and I don't know what to do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think this is an issue that you need to talk to your therapist about!. There are upsides and downsides to doing both!. Medications can help along with meditation and deep breathing!. If you let anxiety run your life, it will!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
