In the time between learning these coping skills I found some relief by taking natural stress relief tablets, unfortunately I think the triggers are different for everyone and there is no generic solution. Writing your feelings down in a forum such as this is a good start and let you know you are not alone.

I have at least one more year for this course.
Unfortunately this isn't a subject that I can just ask friends or family about because very few people have this kind of knowledge.
I think you make some great points about not trying to build things up to be bigger than they are but it's difficult sometimes. For example, right now I have hours upon hours of code in front of me and then the lecturers throw pointless assessments in just because they are forced to by their "masters".
I feel like yelling: "Is it relevant to ask me about workplace health & safety right now!? I'm not stupid enough to take a break from coding to stick my hands inside the power supply!!!"
The stress is real.
