I feel hopeless.

[ClockworkGrrrl]

I have exams in the coming weeks and I cant revise. I have tried and tried and spent my mornings after breakfast learning French and what not but I cant get it into my head. I just want to cry.

My head is so painful right now but I know I have to revise something - I have a math GCSE modual next friday and 2 french listening exams on tuesday and wednesday. Then the week after that I have 3 days of french oral. Then I start straight into the actual examinations for 3 weeks.

Im so ****ing stressed. I cant think straight, Im so exhausted, I feel sick just thinking about any of it. I am so fed up and upset that I dont even think that cutting is helping me.

My med's (antidepressants) could be affecting me, but they sure arnt helping at the moment.
I dont see myself in a few years, I cant see past my GCSE's. I might never get into school again, or go to uni, or get a decent Job. I might never move out of my parents house. I so desperatly want to though. I might never find a partner, I might never get to do any of the things I have wanted to do for so long :(.

I feel so low, Im even considering talking to my mum and dad but what can they possibly do for me?

Nothing.

are they mocks or the real ones? if they're mocks i would suggest giving up on the revision, it's not worth the stress, but if they're the proper ones... could you tell your parents you're struggling? you wouldn't need to tell them everything, but just let them know that you're struggling and need a little support. then at least you've got them behind you. and GCSEs are just exams, like icanbeatthis said, you can resit them, there's no shame in that. it's most important that you can take care of yourself at the moment.

*cuddles!*
i know its a rubbish time. i'm in the same boat. it really does suck!
try not to push yourself too much, it can only make you feel worse.
if you feel okay, study away! if not, take a break and try again later.
what about if you spoke to your teachers about how you're feeling? not necessarily in full details if you don't want to, but just briefly how stressed you've been and see if theres anyway in which they can help?

good luck love

I know GCSEs can be hard, I mean not only are they exams but they are built up by school to be some sort of huge end of chapter turning point in life thing... but really as has been said above you can re-sit them, and academia isn't the be all and end all...

speaking to yuor parents may help mor ehten you think, at least if they know what's going on they are unlikely to say the wrong thing and they may be able to help you? like quiz you or something as a revision aid? I know a few people who did that


in the end these are just like any other exams, they may be built up to sound like something more, but they're not. you can re-sit them if it all goes wrong. so try not to get too stressed about it all, will be detromential in the end...

Your life is more important than any exams; if they're hurting you that much, back off, give yourself some space. I've got my mocks next week and yes, I'm TERRIFIED in the end, your family, your friends, everyone here, will still be there if you fail. You can do re-sits, you can get further help, don't exhaust yourself now.

Take care and good luck,

GCSE's are just one part of your life. There may not seem to be anything else going on in the world bar revision and exams at the moment but you will get through your exams.

There is more to life than exams BUT its really important to get a good education so that you can get a good job in the future especially with jobs becoming scarce.

Most of us have been there at a stage where you wonder if you'll ever leave home or get a job or boy/girlfriend or buy a house and pay the mortgage and it all happens in time.

Enjoy each stage of your life as you go through them. There are good and bad points to be found in all the stages, not just the early ones. Dont wish your life away because the day will come when you have started ticking off those milestones and you wish you were still at school, living at home and not paying the bills!
