Stress, Burnout, and the Pressure to Succeed (Mental Health/Wellness Mini-Session

In this mini session, I was able to learn the difference between casual stress and burnout, which is when said casual stress becomes something long-term and completely takes over and hinders your day to day life outside of the stressor. I also learned ways to mitigate burnout from happening, and that's by first actively being kind with yourself and giving yourself breaks, seeking out help and assistance, and by changing your daily routine for the better.

I enjoyed the presentation because it taught me how important it is to recognize stress and manage my responsibilities. I learned that taking breaks, staying organized, and asking for help when needed can make things easier. I think it was helpful and gave me ideas I can use in my everyday life.

This was a really good session because I got to learn about the differences between stress and burnout and a few ways to cope with both. I also learned about the counseling sessions PGCC offers just in case you ever need that extra support.

During these meetings, I learned about the importance of taking care of my mental health and the difference between regular stress and burnout. I learned that burnout happens when stress becomes long-term and starts to affect your daily life beyond the situation causing the stress. We also discussed how stress can affect students, especially during exams or when receiving a low score. Some strategies to manage stress and prevent burnout include being kind to yourself, taking breaks, asking classmates or counselors for help, and making changes to your daily routine. Overall, these meetings helped me understand why reflecting on my mental health is important and taught me different ways to manage stress and take better care of myself.

I accidentally cancelled my registration but I attended the meeting. It was honestly very great, I have recently been going through a lot of stress, so being able to attend and see advice that was given to me was very useful.
