I'm really losing motivation when it comes to my future I'm in the process of applying to college this September but there are afew obstacles i need to pull myself through in order to have an unconditional place at my chosen college. I have already been accepted at my chosen college but there are documents i need. The main one is i need to contact the examination boards i took my exams with for replacement certificates for my grades. But they only give out statements of results (which is a piece of paper that officially lists my results) so there's no chance of me receiving the certificates i need. I've been putting off contacting the college that accepted me or the exam boards telling them my situation. So i'm literally just waiting for the days to tick down till i eventually get rejected by the college i applied to. I'm really lacking motivation and i feel like i need a kicking up the backside. For some reason i'm finding the whole process so overwhelming. I've already been kicked out of one college so i guess i'm scared i'll get kicked out again. I wish i could have someone to say it's gonna be okay, i even considered contacting my mental health team so they could assist me but i'm so scared about my future and getting eventually rejected from the college i applied to because i don't have the right documents. I'd hate to go another year not studying or working. I think my depression is coming back because of this. Hopefully someone has advice for me. I could really do with some kind words.

You should really go into the college and explain the situation u are in. i no how overwhelming it can be. im in college myself and had a lot of obstecles to pass to get in. the college does have a good support system for its students. go to the students union if there is one. It will take aload of your mind if you do whats the point inworrying alone. wish u luck

It will be all right. I think you should contact your mental health team, and go ahead and call to find out what you should do because you don't have whatever the documents are the school wants. They will have been asked this question before (probably many times by many people!). If one person is hateful or unhelpful, keep trying. I allowed my life to become derailed because I was raised in chaos, to think I wasn't worth decent treatment, and every random meanie I came across reinforced that. But when I stopped letting those people stop me, my life started getting better. College is a lot of work, but it is exciting and can be a lot of fun, too, so it is worth the effort to get in and get situated and I heartily support your efforts. I have failed, and I have succeeded. I no longer let failure keep me from trying and I am all the happier for it.
Thanks for this!
