Looking for advice on college mental health resources Texas

[Tank]

Currently diving deep into Microeconomics, Econometrics, and Development Economics - but I ain't gonna lie, the statistical analysis and economic modeling are hitting me hard.

The policy evaluation aspect is my jam though, always been into that! I've been feeling the pressure lately and realized I need to tap into some mental health resources on campus.

Any fellow Texas students out there have advice on where to find support for academic stress specifically related to my Econ courses? I'm all about crunching numbers and analyzing data, but sometimes it can get overwhelming.

Just looking for some guidance on how to balance my workload and take care of my mental well-being at the same time. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, y'all!

I did my undergrad at UT Dallas and now I'm in grad school, so I've been through the stats gauntlet.

Mental health resources by school:

UT System (Austin, Dallas, Arlington, etc.): Download TimelyCare immediately. It's a 24/7 virtual counseling platform included in your student fees . You can schedule appointments or use "TalkNow" for immediate support. They even have health coaching and peer support. Game changer.

Texas A&M: CAPS in the Student Health Services building . They offer individual counseling, group therapy, and workshops specifically for academic stress . Call (979) 845-4427 to schedule.

Texas State: Counseling Center in LBJ Student Center . Free short-term therapy, crisis services, and referrals .

UNT: CAPS at Chestnut Hall . Individual and group counseling, plus workshops on anxiety and time management .

Also, study groups saved me in econometrics. Explaining concepts to others forces you to actually understand them. Find some econ buddies—y'all can stress together.
