You don't need to put yourself under so much pressure to achieve top marks Oly. You're clever, but that doesn't mean you must get amazing grades to prove it. No-one will think badly of you if you get a mark you don't think is good! By all means try your best but don't stress yourself out so much thinking you need to be perfect at studying. And certainly you don't need to self harm severely if you get a mark that's less than you were hoping for. It wont achieve anything beyond making you feel physically unwell and have pain.

Can you talk to anyone about how you feel? Get some perspective maybe. You don't need to punish yourself like this, and make yourself more stressed when it's not needed!

	Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different… you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
