School, grades and anxiety below
Wooooosh. My anxiety is out of control.
I had 5 A+ grades last semester in a third year university sciences/double degree program and I was still convinced on multiple occasions that I was failing.
In addition to that, even if I was doing well, I barely ate last semester and my sleep schedule was shit. I also only went out to see friends three times over the whole semester, the rest of the time I was just working or dying.
It’s not even worth it. Like. I would be happy with getting B’s (I need a B average to graduate from my program else I would be happy with C’s). There really is no difference and people dont really look at your university grades. Nonetheless, I still feel like I’m failing somehow and it’s gotten to the point where I am not healthy at all.
I don’t know how to start curving this behavior. Maybe if I try to disentangle my self-worth from how well I can do in school. But that’s not really a simple thing so....
This is why I am basically dead for the 4 months of summer. Because after going at 120% for 8 months I need to be at 30% for a bit to recharge.
This is also why my blog is woefully inactive during the year because I’m too busy being insane with my course goals.
My dad has to sit me down and let me know it was okay to fail a bit. That’s honestly kind of sad.
Anyways, at this point I’m just crushed by the backlog of work I have to finish and a recent death in the family and I want to sleep and its 6:30am and I haven’t eaten since Tuesday morning and crying seems like the best thing to do atm.
