In a few months ago, there was nothing like stress for me. Everything was going well and good with me and I was able to visit ny online earning platforms and even have time for fun and do other things. When I graduated from the University two years ago, I decided to spend one year in a movie academy. In the school, I studied acting for film as a course. Nornally, any Nigerian student who graduates from the University is expected to go for the National Youth Service but I had to pend that since I have other things I was doing.
Then in April, I took the bold step of registering and that was when I realized that I have begun to stress myself. My registration was not fast. It took me two days to complete my registration which was the fault of my school. When I registered, we went to camp after two weeks and the camp was so stressful. Imagine waking up very early as at 4:00 am and you would not have the time to rest till 10:00 pm at night. Isn't that stressful? A lot of people could not cope with the camp stress and they had to leave the camp but I was determined to stay till the last day.
Picture taken with my phone camera.
On the last day of camp, we were being given our various letters of where we would work. I got accepted to the workplace after two weeks of going about. It was very stressful and I even wasted so much money for transport fare. Then, when I got fully accepted, I was given a free week to prepare myself for the job before I resume fully. When I resumed to work, I found teaching job more stressful than how other people see it because that is what I do.
It is so stressful that I no longer have the time to touch my phone. If I even get home, I will rather sleep than to touch my phone because I have stressed myself so much at work. This is why I'm no longer active on here and some other platforms. I have always disliked offlind job and this is becoming too stressful for me. Another stressful part is when we go for our community development services and mine falls in Monday. It takes so many hours before my inspector could sign for us. Mondays is usually one of the most stressful days in my life at the moment. I'm sure that people who have passed through this will be able to testify to what I'm saying.
How do I even get rid of this stress? Honestly, I don't know how I can do that. The service usually ends after a year and it always get me wondering if this is what I will do or if this is how I will manage my life for a whole year. Is there any alternative? I just feel the only thing I can do to help myself now is to adjust into my present lifestyle so I can be able to attend to other things in my life because I'm not planning to continue teaching after I'm done with my service. Today is Monday again and I'm going for my community development service. I hope you wish me well.
Hehehe.. life has different ways of shaping us. That experience you had at the camp, I believe has taught you many things..
Teaching is not easy at all but it is fun, sorry for the stress, that is how the job is. Just find a way to manage it. plan your activities and get some free time for yourself...
I wish you the best🥰
Yes, I learnt a lot in the camp and I'm grateful
Thanks for visiting
You are welcome
I totally understand you. I finished mine last year although I went to my PPA only three times a week, I advice you try to adjust to your new service life. You got this girl.
I serve in Chrisland schools. It is a private school and I have to go everyday
That's why I'm sad
Oh, just try and adjust.
Omo... It's not like there's much choice. It's mandatory and since you've started, you have to see it through. I'll only suggest that you manage your time properly. You can try creating a timetable that will detail how each day will go for you, that helps me a lot.
And biko, don't kill yourself. You don't have to work more than you should. You have to put yourself first because if care is not taken they'll just use you mercilessly and for peanuts.
I hope you find a way to make everything work out for you.😇
That's what I'm planning to do now
I'll just set a time for everything
Thank you very much
Stress affects our life a lot. I have decided that at the end of the year I have to think about how to live with less stress
You gotta think about it, for real
Stress is not good for the health
yes I think so too, stress is not seen but it is something that slowly wears you down. This is why at the end of the year I will start thinking about how to reduce stress. It's something I promised myself to do a few years ago when I reached my 50th birthday
Different kinds of stress for people. That stress of waking up and knowing the day would be a tough one is something else. I wish you are able to adjust and not be stressed because you also need to be active online to make some money.
Thank you very much
I'd try to adjust

Sometimes we have to look on the bright side of the stress at hand, find the positive things in the situation and be grateful. I know it’s hard, believe me. I also do teaching at it can be shiiiiit. Especially the system around it. But one thing I’ve realized is the more we stress over situations the longer we remain in them till we learn the lesson. Stay blessed empress.
You're looking like you're coping well😄.
Maybe it's the nature of school you're teaching, if not, NYSC outside camp is more of a leisure if you're not in a 'serious' workplace or you're not attached to many dutiful titles in the LGA.
