Rohag- Unfortunately, I have to complete all of these things at once. I work very little hours a week and my school classes and my internship has to be completed at the same time. Thankfully, I graduate in August so I only have a month left of that craziness. You bring up a good point for me though, to enhance the restorative power of my down time. I have some down time after my internship at an agency and prior to making dinner for my fiance and I. A lot of times, I end up taking a nap because I am so exhausted. So that is really my only "me" time. I try to spend as much time as possible with my fiance on the weekends because we don't see each other much during the week, other than a late dinner. Even though I spend time trying to energize myself, it still doesn't help.
bharani- I'm thinking I might need to see a doctor to see if I could benefit from anxiety medication. It drives me nuts when people suggest deep breathing or visualizing. It does not work for me and it stresses me out more, usually causing a panic attack. It is frustrating. I was on medication for depression, but it did not seem to help me too much and really upset my stomach, which makes me more hesitant to seek medication for the anxiety.
