Sorry to hear that. Maybe leaving off the studying for tonight, relax and get the head right again.

I'll try to. I'll have to have a chat with my gp about my dosage. School stress is making everything much worse

Early days still in the school year. No pressure to study. Try and relax.

How long are you on that dose? Do you feel the anxiety just creeping up in school?

Try and relax. Every year I was in school they told us to start straight away. You won't get anything done at all if your too anxious.

for my leaving i just said **** it. Im not gona worry. Whatever i get i get points wise.

The thing about is that even if you dont get your points you can still get to study the course. You just may have to do a post graduate.

Seriously looking back at the leaving and college for that matter i wouldnt worry.
College was easier for me. Because you are worth money to them they will try and pass you

Almost 6 months. No, I can feel the anxiety and the depression getting worse.

My school was murder for that. Even told us to basically give up our social lives and replace it with study. Hindsight is a magical thing though, as hard as it is the only thing you can do is do what's right for you. Feel crap and not up to study? Don't do it that night. Even if ya feel like that for a few months. And if ya do, do it in very small chunks. Easier said than done, I know

i agree. the LC was so over hyped. Its like your whole life hinged on that three weeks. Not at all. I knew lads who scraped by in ordinary level maths and are working in manhatten now.

As i have said in other threads, graduate level jobs depend on personality as much as merit. So if you do a poor LC, but are good socially, you will go far in life. If you are the best academically in the class but cant talk, you will struggle

Yes but I don't want to lose out on taking notes by getting counselling

no offense you are going too heavy on the whole studying thing. at this rate you will struggle in college and the professional setting, not because of lack of ability but because you are worrying too much. You need to relax more.

If you are worrying all the time it means your sleep becomes disturbed and sleep deprivation doesnt help...

Be kinder to yourself.You'll get a lot more done if you are well. It's very hard to study if you pile the pressure on yourself. Avail of the counselling service. It'll most likely make you feel better.

is mise spartacus · 29-08-2014 9:07pm

I know it seems I'm doing too much but I have to catch up. I get 8-9 hours sleep so sleep deprivation isn't an issue. I can sense my teachers are concerned

Sorry for ranting, it's just been a very hard day. Never posted here before

Realistically I need 530 for Biomedical Science. Would it be okay if I talked to one of my teachers about the depression

You'd be better talking to the school counsellor or chaplain.

CZ 453 · 29-08-2014 9:33pm

School counsellor would cover all those conversations with all the teachers you wanted approached about your situation.

No need to apologise for ranting. Most of my posts in this thread are rants.

Thanks for your support/advice everyone. Very much appreciated.

id say you will easily get 560 with that kind of work ethic. Now even if you didnt get an offer, you can go by an indirect route through an IT and then transfer or something. You have to study of course but i wouldnt worry.
