What should I do? Hi there, welcome back. It's nice to hear from you again. Training to be a chef is really stressful. I know lots of other people, who've told me that. Have you spoken to the others at college. How are they finding it? Maybe you could support each other. Also, are the teachers there aware that you are struggling? They might be able to support you. What do you think? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment https://forums.ditchthelabel.org/topic/5318-stress/#findComment-47191 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What should I do? Hey there, We've never met before but hey, I'm Leila! Lovely to meet you. I know how hard college can be, I'm starting a online course on Monday which I'm stressed about so I get you. You could talk to someone about all this stress, a form teacher? A parent? A trusted adult/friend you can talk to maybe? And of course you have us here, hope you're okay!

Do you mind sharing, what they suggested? I'm curious if it was strategies to help you feel more relaxed or if it was practical suggestions what you can do at college to cope with the multiple demands. Also, did you feel that your tutors were understanding of how you feel?

They were very understanding because they already know about other mental health problems I have and some of the things they suggested were things like breathing, and taking time out of the lesson if I felt like it was getting too much but neither strategies worked because I just felt even more stressed afterwards.

I'm glad to hear they were very understanding. It sounds to me like they want to make sure you're supported, Is that right? How do you feel about speaking to them again and letting them know that these strategies aren't helping? I'm wondering if it might be helpful to let them know exactly what it is that is causing you to feel stressed (if you know). Eg is it too much work, is it too many instructions at a time, is the working environment too busy or it might be something completely different. What do you think, would that be helpful?
