Sound like you're double dipping on stress
Calculus is actually mostly quite fun, it's just the part I'm at today isn't as much.
And as for the war, I stopped following the war in Ukraine within 24 of it starting because I knew it was going to go long and I'll probably do something similar here, I just want to get a better feel for where things are likely to go first, as this is one of the biggest geopolitical events of the 21st century.
I hope you are doing well too :)
Which part of calculus? Derivatives, Integrals, multivariable, vector, infinite series...? The worst part for me was right into the beginning, because the leap from high school maths to calculus was too big. Also, the professors were a bunch of sadistic pricks.
Infinite series (with some partial fractions) and Taylor series. It started fine but I'll need a lot of time to understand this part.
I got lucky that my teachers so far were good and fair, and I also had a month to study after the first test, which helped a lot to drill down the pre-calculus.
