Thanks. I was a bit concerned you were under 16 as you have to be that at least to be a member of any HealthUnlocked site. x

Hi again roseamelia02, sorry to hear you are struggling with the studying for your GCSE's.

Now take a deep slow breathe in and out and remember what BOB and many of the members said back to you a few months ago. It all stands true for now time. Go for a short walk and try and clear your mind looking and seeing the things around you by refocusing.

Keep all thoughts of work out of your head yo are recharging your batteries. Take your music with you.

Come back and have something to eat that you like and then implement what BOB said in his post. Break up the revision in small bite size chunks so that you can manage it. Take frequent breaks and re read all the good posts you have received before.

Let the school know you are struggling by talking to a teacher that you trust.

YOU can do this, we know you can.

Stay with us and let us know how it is going, small steps at a time. Good luck.

MAS Nurse & Moderator.
