Help College Anxiety

Posted by Michael Colbert

College is often portrayed as the best years of your life, but for many students, it can also be a time of high stress and anxiety. The pressures of academics, social life, and newfound independence can all contribute to feelings of anxiety. However, with the right strategies, you can manage and even overcome these challenges.

1. Recognize the Signs:

The first step in managing anxiety is to recognize the signs. Anxiety can manifest in various ways, including racing thoughts, increased heart rate, restlessness, and trouble sleeping. If you notice these symptoms, don’t ignore them.

2. Seek Support:

You don’t have to go through college alone. Seek support from friends, family, or mental health professionals. Most colleges offer counseling services where you can talk to a trained therapist about your anxiety. Don’t hesitate to reach out when you need help – there’s no shame in asking for support.

3. Practice Self-Care:

Self-care is crucial for managing anxiety. Make sure you’re taking care of your physical and mental well-being. This includes getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, and incorporating regular exercise into your routine. Additionally, consider mindfulness techniques like meditation or deep breathing.

4. Time Management:

One of the leading causes of anxiety in college is the pressure of deadlines and coursework. Effective time management can alleviate this stress. Use a planner or digital calendar to keep track of assignments and due dates. Break large tasks into smaller, manageable steps, and stick to a study schedule to avoid last-minute cramming.

5. Set Realistic Expectations:

It’s essential to set realistic expectations for yourself. Remember that nobody is perfect, and it’s okay to make mistakes or receive a lower grade on an assignment. Avoid comparing yourself to others and focus on your own progress and growth.

So, take a deep breath, believe in yourself, and embark on this exciting college journey with confidence. You’ve got this!

About us

We are a nonprofit devoted to helping children succeed with anxiety. We work to give children discrete ways to communicate their anxiety to trusted people before it escalates and manifests itself physically. Sometimes children can't verbally explain what they are feeling, especially in school.
