hi there i am a final year chem eng student and dont know what to do.
ive spent 6 years in this place for a 4 year degree. i am almost finished with few courses left. i will finish mid year next year. but my problem is that im too much of a people person to worry about myself. i always find myself helping and seeing out for others thereby neglecting my own well being. and to make matters worse money is always tight being a student and am currently owing 2 years fees which i paid by loans. my dad is late and the responsibility of my mums well being falls upon me. So when it is time for social gatherings ie. weddings, parties, engagements, funerals,ceremonies etc, i always find myself being drawn in to take my mum everywhere. i sometimes just wish i could stay at home and have time to myself like most other students my age and dont have the responsibilities that fall upon me. and if i dont pass this semester i will be excluded for 2 years from university. another scary factor is family pressure to perform seeing as all your relatives are professionals in their respective fields. and if you fail you’ll be the laughing stock. i also cant seem to study anymore because i have all these worries on my head. i just sleep all the time i do end up having. i understand that there is not much i can do about the situation but i wanted to know if anyone knows how to help me cope with the situation. please help
