<p>chocobok, that happens to me all the time. I hate it! I recently had this math quiz and thought I was super prepared, but then I realized I was messing up on stuff during the quiz and then on top of that, my teacher started to collect our quizzes when I wasn’t even finished and was still correcting my incorrect answers. </p>
<p>You know what? Just take a nap. I’ve been super stressed out this week and I’ve just been taking relaxing naps to take my mind off all the stress. It definitely helps.</p>
<p>I know, what KILLS me is that I was thinking, “Wow! I’m really prepared (after acing all the practice stuff). I can get an A”
False hopes, it turns out…I feel dumb though. I can’t blame it all on my teacher (who is horrible). He does give the hardest tests, with problems he didn’t even go over in class. But still, I studied for HOURS, possibly the most I’ve ever studied at once, and I STILL wasn’t able to get it. I don’t know what else I could have done for preparation…it just makes me feel dissapointed in myself, to the point that now I’m thinking I’m lacking in brainpower and am not good at math.</p>
<p>Is it possibly to be getting progresssively stupider? I dunno, I feel like I have, I mean I had an A+ in this class last semester. Then I started getting low A’s on tests, then high B’s, and now…F?</p>
<p>I know what you mean. The most discouraging thing is when your performance declines steadily and it feels like you can’t do anything to turn the tide. Sometimes you just need to find a way to take a break and refocus.</p>
<p>Stress is kind of like hunger, it gets worse and worse if you keep piling it on for a couple of days, but then you just relax and it’s not bad anymore. My situation’s been like yours for a couple of months straight now, and I’ve just gotten jaded enough to be happy again :).</p>
<p>Wait, you die if you go without food for too long, right? Oh crap…</p>
<p>Calm down it’s just one test. I’m sure you blanked because you were stressed and tense. Relax it’s over now. If it makes you feel better, I ALWAYS think I do bad on a math test but the more negative I was, the better my grade. LOL I’m sure he’ll give you some form of partial credit.</p>
<p>I just don’t like feeling so dumb…like I couldn’t have done anything more, but it still wasn’t enough. But w/e I guess, there’s nothing I can do about it. Thinking about it is just making me upset. I need to start focusing on my upcoming AP test instead.</p>
<p>cry and let it out…i do that a lot, and like what previous posts have said…it definetly helps…especially if you are a girl…:)…
also, know that your not alone…obviously all of us here feel what you feel at times…(this is how i have been feeling yesterday and the day before, and kinda today too)…</p>
<p>oh no, stress is renewed, perhaps worse then ever…chem test, notebook, and lab (which I can’t even figure out so I can’t do it), due tommorow…and AP test sooooooo behind haven’t even finished PR review guide…
This week has gotta be the worst I’ve ever lived through. And next will probably be just as bad.
Can someone just shoot me now?</p>
When I feel like crying (which I do) that’s exactly what I do, cry. For as long as I feel like I want or need to. I would cry now, but I am about head into class and I refuse to cry in class, so I will hold it in and wait until I get back to my apartment to cry my face off.
