Anxiety is a very normal response to deadlines, exams, and other challenging situations, and we need some stress to help us achieve new things.

What can you do to help

You will have managed anxiety before so take some time to reflect on what you did then, and who has helped you in the past. Everyone’s MASK (Managing Anxiety Strategy Kit) is different, but deliberately doing the small things that have helped you before is a great start.

Support

There are several resources or services that can support with academic anxiety:

• Student Space is a national student wellbeing website with lots of student focused resources.
  
• You can join one of our social prescribing activities.
  
• If your anxiety is about your work speak to your Academic Adviser or access the academic skills support the University offers.
  
• You can download our Be Well app which has lots of podcasts, resources, and a self-care guide.

• During the working week you can also come to Student Support in 4W to speak to someone in person to help you learn to manage your anxiety.
