dealing with stress

hello, i posted here yesterday for motivation to continue my chemistry summer school class for the final week
right now with 4 more days the stress levels are going through the roof, as multiple assignments and labs etc are due every single day and assigned the day of, which means that i'm forced to stay up until 2-3, sometimes even 4 doing them. with a daily wakeup time of 7am, this sometimes leaves me with as little as 2 hours of sleep (taking into account time it takes to fall asleep).
i've never ever been half as stressed, not even during my grade 11 year taking all 3 sciences enriched as well as enriched functions
i'm wondering how you guys cope with great amounts of stress, because at this point in time i just want to give up

I took a math course this summer and felt as stressed as you describe above--the only thing I can really say is that there are 4 more days. You can do it! I don't know if this works for everybody, but just remind yourself why you took the course in the first place and give yourself some credit for getting this far. Perhaps you only took it cause you had to and you don't want to waste your parents' money--that's fine. You still have a reason to keep on going, even if it's not the best. It's going to be worth it, especially when you finish this course knowing you made it through all the struggles you faced.

Take little breaks in between, listen to music if you can focus with it on, and drink lots of water. A lot about dealing with stress has to deal with your mindset and your drive to make things better as opposed to pitying yourself. Once you can let go of thinking about how painful the course is, you can finally set your mind to the work at hand and get it done. I hope some of what I said is useful to you, and I wish you luck for the next 4 days! It's fine to feel like giving up; the biggest factor is whether you do so or continue fighting.
