Stress, anxiety. Know how to treat it.

Hi , Class 12th is a tough phase . The stress of exams seems to be overwhelming you. Try to schedule a time table and follow it. It should have study time, adequate sleep and rest time and also some relaxation or hobby time. Listen to music or dance to it to shake yourself off from the mounting pressure of exams. Eat nutritious food and eat small meals regularly . Drink plenty of water. Try and do some breathing exercises like Anulom- Vilom or other relaxation techniques for 5 minutes everyday. Try to fit in some form of exercise daily like maybe climbing stairs or walking or dancing. Study in such a way that it goes in long term memory. Do not study by rote or by reading out loud. Understand the topic, make notes point-wise and try to read and learn visually /through pictures. Make pneumonics wherever possible. Do not worry at present about weight gain. If you follow a good diet and exercise regularly you will be able to lose the weight that you have gained. Do check your thyroid hormone levels however, to rule out Hypothyroidism. Some techniques to help you get rid of stress are there in my article on Practo health feed "Do you have exam phobia ". Do go through that. In case you are not able to handle your stress in spite of all this , do consult a Psychiatrist or Psychologist for counseling. Hope this helps, All the Best!
