So, I know CC isn’t exactly a therapist but I’ve been feeling so helpless and stressed from school lately. I’ve lost the motivation to do schoolwork and as a result my grades took a hit. With one month left in the semester, it seems highly likely I will drop significantly in rank and make my first Bs. I am highly disappointed in myself for my academic performance, but there is not much I can do except pray that the final might raise me to a 90 in some of my courses.
With junior year being the most important, I’m stressed out about showing a downward trend in grades. I am only taking AP Calc, AP CS, Art, and Spanish 3 this semester, but I’m still so stressed out. I am also trying to study for the SAT and apply to selective summer programs, as well as extracurriculars.
I feel constantly stressed except I do not have the motivation to anything anymore. I spent my weekend in bed and did not do much. This has taken a toll on my physical health as well too, and I’ve gained 10 pounds in two months. I think some of this is due to me losing some of my friends this semester as well, and feeling extremely alone at school. I basically have no meaningful or engaging conversation with anybody anymore.
Have any of you coped with this? Any tips for dealing with this?
