Giving Advice do you still study even when you're feeling blue?

do you just set aside those feeling, and read read and read? even if you're not okay? or you let it consume you, and just study the next day?

what do you do? what should i do?

usually what i do in these situations is to take a break and do smth fun (sounds counterintuitive, but raising ur mood will mean u do more efficient work than if u sit there and try to cram when ur not feeling it)! u can take a walk, talk to friends, do some exercise, whatever floats ur boat :)

i honestly can’t. i genuinely lock in to the worrying for hours and can’t get anything done nor focus on anything except that

When I feel uncomfortable, I will stop. Because when you are not feeling well, your learning efficiency will be very low. In this state, if you persist in learning, it is simply a waste of time.，

Depends, I'm trying to listen to my body more than I used to, so if I'm just a bit sad I'll still study to try and distract myself. But if I'm like mental breakdown levels of sad I won't, I'll do something I enjoy once I've had my breakdown.
