College Anxiety: What Actually Helps

College anxiety hits different when deadlines pile up and your mind races at 2 AM.

Here's what actually works. Box breathing saves me during panic moments.

Inhale four counts, hold four, exhale four, hold four. Repeat until your

heart stops pounding. Time blocking changed everything for one student I know. She schedules worry

time, study blocks, and non-negotiables like sleep. When anxiety steals

your joy or stops you from functioning, that's your sign to reach out. Campus counseling

centers exist for you. Therapy isn't giving up, it's choosing yourself.

You deserve support.
