Overwhelmed

[Emma10013]

I stayed up too late trying to finish my overabundance of homework, and it came to a point where I gave up and started crying cause there was so much work and I was too tired (It was 11:30 at night). My dad told me not to feel bad about all the work and just get it done when I can, because "you can only do what you can pal" Now I just feel angry like I want to punch something, but also cry while doing it lol. I just feel overly irritated and sensitive since my initial breakdown last weak and since starting my antidepressants.

May I ask if you are in college or high school?

[Emma10013 in reply to Frumpyfifty]

High school🙂 I missed most of last week and I have a lot of work to make up

Well then you have to cut yourself some slack. It will take a couple days to get there. I know high school or any schooling for that matter, can overwhelm anyone. And if you are like me and most that have anxiety/ depression you are a perfectionist. Try you very hardest to understand abd accept that none of us are perfect. Took me 40 years to get that! Caused me alto of grief I would love to see you avoid.

I am very much so a perfectionist😂 That’s part of why I take so long doing my work because a subconscious part of me wants everything to be perfect. Thank you for your advice!

If you’re feeling overly sensitive with ur meds, then u should immediately tell ur dr and try something different. That’s not a symptom you want to permanently experience all the time. There’s so many medications out there and it will take u time to find the ones meant for yoh
