Ah, I have like this huge maths exam today which makes up 20% of my overall grade. The thing is I've been feeling so bad and depressed I've hardly been able to revise, and I can't seem to take anything in. I'm used to getting good grades but lately they've fallen. My teachers think I've gotten lazy, but I genuinely am trying so hard, I just can't seem to do it half the time. I'm really worried about this exam because it's really important, and I know that I've made myself fail. Then I have 6 more exams in the next 2 days, and it's going to be the same for them, I don't know what I can do. I'm just going to have to try my best. :L

School is hard when we struggle with so much inside as well as the pressure to do well. I am horrible at school on top of everything else, so cant help constructively. Sorry. But i can offer a shoulder for support, an open ear/mind to listen, and a

Can you talk to your teachers about your current mood, see if you can get alternative arrangements so you don't fail?

I don't know, is there anything they can do? I just couldn't make myself try as hard, but now there's 4 done, 3 to go, so I'm over half way there. I just sat there and thought why am I putting myself through this? I mean I feel suicidal lots, and this extra stress is making me feel like even more of a failure. I just sat there for a while in the middle of the exam and thought, I don't need this, I may as well just walk out because I'll have done 'it' by the time I could need these grades. I seriously regret that now. It's really effecting my grades now it matters, and I just wish I knew if there was a way to make myself concentrate and not give up or let myself get stressed.
