School and work are realities that few of us can avoid. When problems there become unbearable, it's easy to feel like you are somehow to blame. We are all unique. What’s easy for some may be trickier for others. There are 2 helplines in Malta to reach to for support if you are experiencing any of the following:

• Often absentee yourself for headaches, flu, injuries and stomach bugs that you don’t really have.
• Have trouble understanding tasks, assignments and lessons, and feel left behind or inadequate.
• Feel isolated, withdrawn and constantly tired at school or work.
• Constantly feel tired, lazy, sad or depressed, wishing you weren’t at work or school.
• Use drugs, alcohol or self-harm to distract yourself from your problems at school or work.
• Have difficulty following lessons or instructions, and feel unable to focus.
• Have begun to ‘self-medicate’ with drugs or alcohol at or after school or work.
• Feel so trapped and powerless about school or work that you consider suicide or self-harm.

Persistent worries about school or work can be detrimental to your mental health. You may feel socially anxious and have difficulty interacting with your peers. Perhaps you find it hard to keep up on tasks and assignments due to high levels of stress, an undiagnosed learning disorder or sensory impairment.
