I'm sure this has happened to all of us at some point...I feel so overwhelmed and in-over-my-head right now. I am taking both AP2 and Chemistry this semester on top of working full time and here we are halfway through the semester and it is really starting to catch up to me.
What do you tell yourself when you get down like this? I know in the end it will be worth it..I know that, but right now it's just hard to keep my eye on the prize, ya know?

I just start counting down the weeks and think about how I won't have to deal with it again once I finish. Oh, and how if I took the W I would have to go through the agony all over again. You are halfway there! Get er done!!!!!

Hey! You're almost there. Just keep everything at a good pace. I know when you're in the moment, everything seems crazy and chaotic. Four words: Been there, done that.
Yes, telling yourself that it's worth in the end is a key thing to do when you're stressing out. But sometimes we need to put our focus on what's present. Basically, just take in everything that's stressing you out in portions, you know? When you're dealing with a class, deal with the class and don't worry about work and vice versa.
Also, don't lose confidence in yourself. You still have the same confidence in you that you had when you first got that job and when you signed up for those classes at your school. You can do it! If you feel like you're losing a bit of control over your tasks, write them down and then check off the things you've done. Visually seeing all of the goals you've made and checked off will give you that sense of accomplishment, and it will keep you going just as long as you keep it up!
Last, but NEVER the least, have faith in yourself and never give up.
All the best,
