Hey there! I understand how difficult it must be for you to deal with exam stress. Exam time can be an extremely stressful period and sometimes we need to reach out for help. Let me tell you that you have taken a step in the right direction by reaching out for help. Most of them do not realise that they need help and are hesitant to reach out for help. One of the best things you could do is to consult a therapist. A mental health professional will be able to look into your concerns in detail and formulate a specific treatment plan. There are many different types of therapy and the psychologist will be able to guide you according to your needs. Here are a few steps you could take to deal with exam stress and unhealthy eating patterns while you figure out your therapy plan: Eat healthy and eat well at the right time. Practise grounding techniques: One of the easiest and most effective things to do is to identify 5 things you can see, touch, smell, feel and taste. This will help you focus on the present and improve your mood. Visualise yourself in your safe space- Visualising yourself in a place where you feel safe will automatically calm you down and help you manage your anxiety better and calm you down and probably even leave you feeling a lot more positive. Practise mindfulness and meditation- Even ten to fifteen minutes of practising mindfulness a day is said to have had amazing results. The positive effects of mindfulness are truly underrated, so search for a simple mindfulness for anxiety, and improving mood on youtube and try it out! You will see how effective it is for yourself! Sleep during the same time every day and also make sure that you get eight hours of sleep a day. Take short breaks when you feel stressed out. Reach out to your loved ones and talk to them about your concern. Hope this answers your question! Stay strong you have got this!
