Re: [CHAT] Life hacks for coping with tough times
Stress and anxiety can cause damage to every aspect of your life. It can affect your work, educatoin and relationships. Having a stable support network, and constantly talking your problems out and identifying the early signs of stress and anxiety to find a solution before it gets bad is what helps me. (Although I usually don't know I'm stressed until I'm halfway through a mini-breakdown haha)

Re: [CHAT] Life hacks for coping with tough times
My girlfriend is at tafe and is often up late trying to get things done, stressing out, usually find her just about asleep at the kitchen table trying to complete her assignment. Not her fault, but obviously stress can put strain on a relationship,

Re: [CHAT] Life hacks for coping with tough times
hey caity, welcome to the GR session!
You're right - stress and anxiety have so many different effects, there's really no telling what it might do to you. It can affect pretty much any aspect of your life, and it can be really hard to deal with! I agree, identifying the signs before stress gets too much is so important, and it's also important to talk to someone about these things before it's too late.

Re: [CHAT] Life hacks for coping with tough times
@florenceforever That's such a good idea! When I get bad I forget to take care of myself (shower, brush teeth, cook). I'm definitely using lists to remind me from now on

Re: [CHAT] Life hacks for coping with tough times
I think I'm going to think up some new posters @SJG !
I'm thinking:
"Dance to your favourite song"
"Go give mum a hug"
"Go eat some avacado" Because avacado is delicious.

Re: [CHAT] Life hacks for coping with tough times
Awesome suggestions guys! You all seem pretty self-aware, and you've got these coping mechanisms pretty much mastered. Nice!
Let's move onto the next question: How can we recognise when other people (friends, family) are going through tough times? How might we help?

Re: [CHAT] Life hacks for coping with tough times
Glad I can help @Caity1912 - I used to be like that too. I quite literally had to write myself a check list each day - get out of bed, shower, brush teeth, put clean clothes on, etc, etc.
