I’m starting my nursing degree next year and I know from past experiences that it’s often hard for me to manage both study and work at the same time so I’ll probably be doing a small amount of hours (eg 10) or possibly none. 

I was discussing this with someone today, without mentioning the amount of hours. This person told me that she managed to have 2 jobs while studying full time. Having a lot of pressure on me eventually leads to me breaking down from the stress and I’m trying to avoid making things more difficult for my mental health but at the same time, I’m wondering if I’m just being lazy?

How do you accept that you can’t handle the amount of stress that others can? How do you accept that it’s okay?
