I just would like to say thank you! I feel so alone being the oldest person in my class. I study very hard and I am the best student but I still don't see myself as a "smart person" even if everyone including my teachers say so. I feel like since I am the oldest it's normal to find classes easy because I am more mature and have more experience. I am depressed and anxious most of the time and sometimes it is really hard. So thank YOU to make me feel less alone. (Sorry about my English)
Wow I’m overjoyed that I can make you feel a bit less alone in school, Alexia! I totally know how it feels to be in that position, thinking you’re not smart despite everyone assuring you are. I don’t know what your academic schedule is like, but once you get into more challenging classes, things will change. You might not be feeling challenged right now. Just keep working hard and taking care of yourself, and things will eventually get better. The depression and anxiety will never go away, but they will become more manageable with practice and help from a professional. I’m always here if you need me! xox
