I'm still in college, so I don't really have a "big girl" job yet. In high school, I always went to school because I had no choice- you can't miss class unless your parent calls you in. I got through by trying to focus on my classes. If things got bad, I could just daydream, and no one would tell. My junior and senior years, I had a free period, which during my senior year I used mostly to relax-just to surf the internet, etc. I remember times when I nearly fell asleep during an exam because I was so fatigued from depression- I didn't do well on that exam, but I did finish it!

In college, I can skip class if things get bad. I try not to do this too often, and I try to attend at least one class everyday. Typically, I'll skip my large lecture classes where I won't be missed, and attend my smaller classes. In terms of homework, I sometimes have to put my perfectionism aside and just get through it.

At my part time job in high school, I only worked 3 hours per week (honestly!). I also spent most of my time secluded away from other people. My job was also low stress, just cleaning things.
