School-Induced Stress

When school feels too heavy, support can help.

Many indicators can point toward the need for professional help. When stress is chronic, worsening, or interfering with health, relationships, or the ability to do the job, professional help may be the next step. If exhaustion, emotional detachment, and reduced effectiveness become commonplace, burnout may be present. Look for the following indicators:

-Most days, feeling emotionally or physically exhausted even before school begins.

-Chronic sleep problems (insomnia), difficulties going to sleep or staying asleep.

-Increased anxiety, irritability, emotional numbness, and even tearfulness.

-Lack of motivation, confidence, or difficulty reaching preplanned goals.

-Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or completing routine tasks.

-Feelings of hopelessness and self-blame.

-Stress-related physical symptoms (headaches, stomach issues, unexplained aches).

-Low performance that is noticeable to others.

-Reliance on substances, overeating, and other unhealthy coping tools.
