THE MOST STRESSFUL PERIOD OF MY LIFE

In 2017, that was my 2nd year in school in university of Uyo, and my dad was living in Etinan cause of his work.
He started building his house in the village (Uruan L.G.A) and he didn't trust anyone there in the village to handover the project to.
So since i was studying Building technology in school and also the first son , he handed it over to me cause where am schooling is close to the village.

So i had to draw a new timetable including when and what time i will be going to the building site and the time i will be attending lectures, it wasn't easy by then, i was always stress out that i couldn't even woke up at night to read my books cause of how stress and tired i was.

HOW I OVERCOME IT

Though it wasn't easy for me that period, and like i said before before there is no specific treatment for stress.
So i had to adopt some ways to reduce it,which was;

• Relaxing
• Treating the symptoms that is being cause by the stress.
