I’ve already broken down about 3 times in these two classes. So damn exciting. I can’t believe i could be so irresponsible to leave like 3 assignments until the last minute. I don’t know what to do and i just want to crawl into a hole and disappear

Hey there, take a deep breath. It’s going to be ok. The semester is nearly over, right? There’s light at the end of the tunnel. Best of luck with your assignments. Let us know how it goes.

I had a similar feeling last week when my final was coming due but I was too lethargic to study for it. Took the quiz on the last day practically at the last minute! But it went surprisingly well. You can do this.

[magicly_rose in reply to Hidden]

That’s the thing. The thing is that the semester is nearly over and my grades aren’t better. I’m scared that they’ll just keep going down and i’ll keep hating myself. Just. idk. I hate the amount of B’s that i have and i hate that i even have a C. in drawing of all classes. That class should be an easy A for me but it’s not. Idk what to do but i can barely do my work and its just a horrible cycle i can’t get rid of

Getting a B is nothing to be ashamed of! Try not to put high demands on yourself. Especially with depression, or anxiety, brain fog can really interfere with studying and make it difficult to absorb and retain what you’re learning. You’re doing ok with B’s. Don’t panic, and don’t give up.

those grades aren't really good for someone that wants to go to med school later on.

[Hidden in reply to magicly_rose]

That's a cool ambition! Are you hoping to become a doctor?

[magicly_rose in reply to Hidden]

forensic pathologist and lawyer

Wow. 👍

Best of luck with your assignments. Give it your best shot! But don't beat yourself up. Remember your best is all anyone could ask for, no one can expect more than that.

Hey I don’t comment much but I know what you mean about leaving everything to the last minute and then it’s too much when it all catches up. I’m in a constant cycle of not being able to get stuff done for no real reason and then being screwed when it’s all due. Sometimes it is too much and I just take the L or bad grade or whatever but when I do get it done, I just take one thing at a time and plan to do just one assignment even if there’s more. Usually once I start and get working I can get more done than I planned. But even if not in the end something is better than not doing any of it.

[magicly_rose in reply to Tony042]

for me doing all of it is better than doing just one because i have a mom that keeps an eye on my grades

[Tony042 in reply to magicly_rose]

Both of my parents are also super strict about grades so I get that part. And the goal is to get it all done but my point was by telling yourself your just doing one thing, it seems a lot smaller and more manageable so that’s how it able to get more done

Are you too busy to actually get the work done or is just procrastinating or being tired etc...?

[magicly_rose in reply to Tony042]

being tired, procrastinating, not really able to focus, all over the place, you name it.

[Tony042 in reply to magicly_rose]

Same the worst is realizing after how much time I wasted when I could’ve got stuff doneMy only advice is to try getting into some environment that makes it easier to focus, music, coffee, somewhere quiet or with someone. Whatever you need then focus on one assignment at a time. Not using my phone helps too

[magicly_rose in reply to Tony042]

i can't move from where i'm sitting. i don't have the choice, so changing environment isn't really something i can do

[Tony042 in reply to magicly_rose]

I’m sitting in my room most of the day for online school so I can’t either but I try holding onto any slight good mood and use it to be as productive as possible because I known when I’m in a low again I can’t get anything done.

There’s no single solution but if I try you have to too That’s all we can do keep trying

[magicly_rose in reply to Tony042]

no my mom literally doesn't let me sit wherever i want

[Tony042 in reply to magicly_rose]

Thats really hard and I'm sorry. at least next semester is an opportunity for a fresh start so make the most of the next week.
