My invisible barrier is Studying at home.

I have been studying in my student room since March 2020. One day I manage to do this very well and I am completely ready for it, while the other day my concentration at home is difficult to maintain. I find it difficult that the same is expected of me at school and internship, but I am not supervised in the same way to be able to do it that way. This causes a lot of stress for me. I noticed that I was not the only one experiencing this stress and for this reason I set up a study group. With this we meet online several times a week to study together and to discuss a thing or two. This really helps me, an initiative that can support many more young people. I feel a lot of pressure to perform, but that is sometimes just difficult under these circumstances. Fortunately, I don't feel lonely, because I still see my friends regularly, both online and offline. For example, since corona I have been walking more and more outside with my friends. Amazing! Besides the stress I experience due to the pressure of school and studying at home, I am actually doing quite well! I am very grateful for that at this time.
