I imagine most of you have at some point or another, but have any of you had a lot of stress whilst trying to study? Either recently or a few years ago.

This last month has driven me up the wall, to put it mildly. The workload isn't the issue, thankfully. It's just the other pressures that are starting to make me crack.

Studying from home is a great convenience, but it's a double-edged sword for a lot of things. The biggest one that triggers the fuck out of me is distractions. Family, Pets, Deliveries and Phonecalls all the god damned time. Maybe it's that my patience for them has tanked, or this last month has been fucking insanity.

I could easily go off on one about my useless faggot siblings doing jackshit around the house, but I'd rather keep this brief.

I'm getting close to the point of quitting my job to move to my grandparents house to get away from the distractions while I finish my degree.
Do any of you have advice, suggestions or anything that might help to do with this?

I am open to shooting the lot of them btw, but since this is >england it'd have to be with a nerf gun.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
Always a good time to pick up alcoholism.

Never had study stress but I get you. For stretches of time back at home when I was trying to do my own thing, the one thing that pushed my buttons was interruptions. Phone calls, shit happening, problems, yada yada.

If it started pushing on me and I felt like murdering somebody I put my foot down and left for someplace quiet. And I made a point to make it known that's what my day was going to be. Reserved for me and just me.

Park out in the woods somewhere or just stop by my town's library. I guess in your case maybe stop buy a park.

I love you, son.
Man I'd hate living at home. It's bad enough when I come back for Christmas and have to revise for January exams, almost impossible to get shit done. Living in uni accommodation makes home feel so much louder and more distracting. And family are so much more annoying.

Honestly I think your faggot sibling needs to pick up the slack.

Would you like living with your grandparents? How would your father feel about this?
I would dearly love the little bastard to do so, or at the very least stop causing so much other shit for the family with his endless stupidity. We got rid of one problem by shipping him off to mother's, and now this retard decides he's going to step up to the plate in the degeneracy olympics.

I'd love to live there honestly.

The difference it makes when you are in a home with people who genuinely appreciate things you do for them, is astounding. Here it feels more like being a caretaker in a building full of autistic chimpanzees.

The only problem with me going there, is that shit would fall apart in the asylum. The dogs would never get walked, barely get fed on time, let alone have any interaction from people. The grocery delivery wouldn't happen and food would quite literally fester in the fridge because they can't be fucked to throw it away.

I'm just tired of it really. Absolutely exhausted with their unhelpful selfish attitudes.

Well, I'm going to assume I know a bit more about your family than most here.

And from what you've told me, most, if not all but one, of your brothers are just.... useless and lazy, and your father is too passive about it. (As we confirm with Caterpillar boy.) To me, it just seems people need to pick up slack to help you and the family as a whole, or you need to get away to study, because I know how stressed you get too, I've heard it lol. -But I understand why.

If you go to the grandparents, will it be more convenient in more ways or could it prove to be a problem? You do generally present a more chilled out form when you're there, so I think it'll be a good idea. I do however, feel you need the job you're currently on and despite the boss (the other one) being a prat, it's a job you enjoy. Dropping that might not be a good idea.

That's not a bad idea actually

I might just fuck off into the woods for a day, without taking the dogs. Some peace and quiet would probably help a lot.

Sadly with a deadline hanging over my head like the proverbial Damocles, that might have to wait until this is done.

If somebody gives you shit, ask yourself. "Am I being paid for this?" If the answer is no, then it's time to leave. Let people fend for themselves and their own choices.

Yeah, it has it's perks but I imagine things would be less [screeching] if I lived alone.

Sorry to hear this, dude. It's really rough when a ton of responsibility is just dumped on you, I know.

Is there any way the dogs could go with you to your grandparents house?
Thanks.
It's just one of those things that you either adapt to or get crushed by, as I'm sure you know all too well. It just doesn't leave a lot of room for whimsy in your life.

I wish there was, but sadly not. They drive my grandpa spare, and I can't blame him lol.
They're an absolute bloody handful, which is a lot of the problem. And for every bit of training I try to give them, it gets underwritten by the laziness of the rest of the house.

Pretty much, I wish it was just me being a grouchy older sibling but it's not.
They are just chronically lazy, selfish pricks, the only one with a lick of sense is kud.

lol, yeah. I'm pretty sure most of the [angery] just comes from this insanity.

It'd be relatively convenient, it's a long trip and I end up taking a lot of stuff with me (Crates of books, study materials etc) which is going to get bigger with not having a laptop to work on now. The PC is great and all, but it's not exactly smol.

But yeah, I don't think quitting work to run away from the problems will help in the long run (as tempting as it is). I'm set to go there anyway at the end of the month, thankfully, so I'll maybe get a bit of [whoosaaaaaaaaah] time to just reduce the stress.

Yeah, sadly it's not so simple for family.

I'll use this reply to reply to the first as well.

Yeah, Kud seems to be the one who will actually have a chance lol

I feel leaving might be good, but as you said, a lot of stuff. Maybe it's just a case of having time off when you can. I'll be having time off soon.

You bet your ass it is. Family count as people and people make their own lifestyle choices. You can either help them as much as you're able to within a rational, sane parameter, but if they aren't going to help themselves then that's on them, not you.

Yeah, I think it might also be that I don't think I've had a rest since september really.

Technically there was the holiday in iceland, but given who that was with and what sort of mood I was in the week afterwards... eh i wouldn't really call it de-stressing.

Hm, I suppose.

It's just the rare times I need help from them that wind me up. Getting them to do anything is such an arduous and unreliable effort that it's simply easier to DIY.

So the obvious answer is to stop helping them, but I've still got this automatic 'help' switch going. If someone needs a hand, the answer is yes. I know I shouldn't think like that, but I can't really help it (irony).

I know these feels

I don't know. I'm not one to encourage giving up on family or running away from problems but if all they do is bring you down, sometimes you have to cut loose.

I'd say try to tough it out.
Yeah, I don't see any other options in the near future at least.
Trying to juggle the degree and part-time work is enough as it is, I doubt I could hold a job that'd make me self-sufficient and still do well on this course. Just gotta stick it out until I've got it over and done with.

Same problem with me.

Eventually it'll happen to you. You'll be so tied up in everybody else's shit that it'll be like a black hole and you won't feel in control of your life anymore. You'll expend so much effort and time and energy and a lot of people will never, ever hold up their end of the stick. You'll be carrying the stick and the person.

I get the need to help people. But you have to rationalize it. Your life, and your priorities have to come first. You help when you're able to. But when it overrides your life, it will catch up to you and believe me it will take a massive toll on you. You have to know when to put your foot down.

Maybe you don't have to leave outright. But a break wouldn't hurt.

How though?

It's just alien to think of saying 'no' when someone asks you for help, like I can't actually think of a way to say no that wouldn't feel terrible.

Honestly I think your faggot sibling needs to pick up the slack.

Would you like living with your grandparents? How would your father feel about this?
I would dearly love the little bastard to do so, or at the very least stop causing so much other shit for the family with his endless stupidity. We got rid of one problem by shipping him off to mother's, and now this retard decides he's going to step up to the plate in the degeneracy olympics.

I'd love to live there honestly.

The difference it makes when you are in a home with people who genuinely appreciate things you do for them, is astounding. Here it feels more like being a caretaker in a building full of autistic chimpanzees.

The only problem with me going there, is that shit would fall apart in the asylum. The dogs would never get walked, barely get fed on time, let alone have any interaction from people. The grocery delivery wouldn't happen and food would quite literally fester in the fridge because they can't be fucked to throw it away.

I'm just tired of it really. Absolutely exhausted with their unhelpful selfish attitudes.

That's when you put your foot down matey. When you're doing something charitable or "nice" for somebody, or even a job in general, there's always something very important to consider. Especially if it's a job.

If somebody gives you shit, ask yourself. "Am I being paid for this?" If the answer is no, then it's time to leave. Let people fend for themselves and their own choices.
Yeah, sadly it's not so simple for family.

You bet your ass it is. Family count as people and people make their own lifestyle choices. You can either help them as much as you're able to within a rational, sane parameter, but if they aren't going to help themselves then that's on them, not you.
Hm, I suppose.

It's just the rare times I need help from them that wind me up. Getting them to do anything is such an arduous and unreliable effort that it's simply easier to DIY.

So the obvious answer is to stop helping them, but I've still got this automatic 'help' switch going. If someone needs a hand, the answer is yes. I know I shouldn't think like that, but I can't really help it (irony).

Same problem with me.

Eventually it'll happen to you. You'll be so tied up in everybody else's shit that it'll be like a black hole and you won't feel in control of your life anymore. You'll expend so much effort and time and energy and a lot of people will never, ever hold up their end of the stick. You'll be carrying the stick and the person.

I get the need to help people. But you have to rationalize it. Your life, and your priorities have to come first. You help when you're able to. But when it overrides your life, it will catch up to you and believe me it will take a massive toll on you. You have to know when to put your foot down.

Maybe you don't have to leave outright. But a break wouldn't hurt.
How though?

It's just alien to think of saying 'no' when someone asks you for help, like I can't actually think of a way to say no that wouldn't feel terrible.

I've never directly said "no" to anybody who asked for help.

I'll tell them either that I'm doing something that requires a lot of my attention or time but tell them when I'll have some free time to either help later, or I'll go halfway. I'll offer them as much as I'm able to do there and then, but leave a window of time for myself to do my shit too.

Yeah, that could work.

"Look I'm really busy I can't help right now"

Don't let people guilt trip you into doing things for them. Once in a while just say no, because at the end of the day your siblings are taking advantage of you. Family or not, what's right is right.
Egh, when you put it like that.

It kind of makes it stand out more, not all of them (kud is fine) but the other... I suppose he is. Patience only goes so far I guess.
