I'm doing my best to remain calm. It's a mixture of that and digging my heels into the ground and doing my own thing, that's if it's a societal pressure.
Been through pressure numerous times, be it through work or school. At work, I just try to suck it up and deal with it. But sometimes I feel like I'm going to crack under this pressure, due to being faced with too much to do :/ As for school, I still face a lot of pressure, but am able to handle it better... especially if I have multiple exams in a week. I generally know how to study for classes and what to do to get decent grades. Memorize stuff? Quizlet. Understand the pathophysiology? Read the textbook and paraphrase, then explain it to myself. Anything that has to do with math? Practice problems ad nauseum.
Overall, I'm okay with pressure. I do in 2 days what takes other people 1 week. Think of it as a buffer. It's a long-standing strategy. I'd kind of freak out if I didn't complete homework on the same day that it was received because I knew if I didn't that I'd end up rushing too close to the deadline.
I can work/function under pressure for limited times but I get super stressed out and I don't think its healthy. I do better work when I have less pressure. If I had constant pressure I may just crack!
I'm okay until I get to the point where I realize I can't handle it any longer. I don't crack easily but I have cracked before and it's really hard to reel myself back in and get my head on properly but I do it and I've done it before.
