I have been trying my best to stay on top of my studies but this month has been one problem after another. My work hours increased and then my younger brother got sick which meant I had to help out more at home. Because of all that I have fallen behind on several coursework tasks and the deadlines are now getting uncomfortably close. Last night I opened my laptop to start working but just sat there feeling defeated. I became so overwhelmed that I even started wondering if I should hire someone to do my coursework because I could not see how I was going to catch up in time. Has anyone else ever felt this stressed?
