A) Some of the main causes of stress in my life include school (especially when I have tests) and sometimes just being in an environment where there might be loud noise or yelling, even just the tiny sounds that bother me. Another big one is socializing all day at school I get exhausted. The best way that I find helps me is I just take time when I get home, and I get into my pajamas, and I get into bed with my laptop and I just like to turn off my brain and I don’t text anyone or call anyone and I just hermit :)). But when I have stress from a test I have to study for, I just take a few minutes to get myself in the right headspace to start working OR I take a bath to relax before I get my brain going again.

B) Sometimes, just turning my brain off after a fight or if I’m just sad can distract me from that and help it go away. But sometimes, I do get caught up in maybe just scrolling or watching multiple YouTube videos. I would like to try to limit my time more. I started by giving myself only an hour of Instagram time, but a lot of the time, I just put in the password I created and keep going, kind of like when I snooze my alarm. A healthy habit I would like to adopt is turning off my Instagram when my screen time runs out and when I’m bored finding something to do OTHER than watch YouTube videos mindlessly.
