Alright, I'm pretty sure most people experience this at some point, but I'm pretty freaked out right now. I'm currently doing trials, and getting burnt out. I just can't find motivation to work, or anything for that point, I just feel empty inside. I think it's because I'm really freaking out. I'm in a selective school, and that just makes it worse since I'm like "I don't deserve to be here because I ain't working as hard as I could be." My ATAR aim's always been 95+, and I've found that I can only achieve 93. Now, I'm not trying to sound pretentious, but by my standards, which I've set for myself, that's not good. And knowing it's pseudo-impossible to reach that ATAR sucks,:(

Also, I'm doing 4U math AND SDD. I'm pretty subpar at both of them, and I do 12 units, so I'm not sure which one to drop..... I feel screwed either way. I'm honestly so stressed, but able to somehow appear "Normal" to people still. There's alot more going around in this brain, but it's hard to put into words :confused2:

What do I do? I'm just..... I feel like I can't even anymore

Drop SSD, 4u will destroy it scaling-wise and it'll help you.

Bruh, pull yourself together. Go face yourself in the mirror and give yourself the pep talk of a life time. There is so little school left, just study that tiny extra bit and you'll be fine! This is coming from someone who does 15 units, inlcuding both software and 4u.

For 4u just do ALL the practice exams. All of them. No excuses.

Software is all about reading your textbook, and memorising the living daylight out of it. YOU GOT THIS BRUH.

I can't give myself a pep talk. I try, but I just can't. Also, 93 is only if I get really good marks for trials. Otherwise, I'm face an 85 ish :\
I feel loads of expectations, and I feel like I'm slowly being smooshed :-(

You can, you're choosing not to. The only thing stopping yourself from doing your best right now, is you. Your ATAR isn't your whole life, and if you don't get into your course first try transferring is always an option. There is literally so little left of school, giving up just isn't worth it.

Be that as it may, I'm Pakistani, and as such, my parents want me to do really well, They say they don't care, but every month or so they're like "You're cousing Wasim (not really name) did this" or "Your cousin Khadija got second in this!" I'm feeling burnt out, and I'm just lost and demoralised.....

Seriously, stop conforming so much.

Of course your parents want you to do well, but there are limitations.

If you focus on their words for too long, eventually you'll have that mindset of trying harder and harder until you pass out because you're constantly going to judge yourself with other people due to the words your parents have put through you.

You're doing fine, we have one life, so enjoy it and try your best! :)

@KingOfActing Pakistan isn't middle eastern, but I digress, I get your meaning. How do you manage to stay afloat during all this stress? What keeps you motivated to keep trying in spite of all the stress, fatigue, etc?

Just going at it and telling myself I'll deal with stress later. If I'm really stressed I'll go for a run or rant on snapchat using the bee filter. Very helpful - would recommend. Fatigue is something you get used to, ignore it and it'll ignore you.

Pakistanis are not Middle Eastern! They are more similar and basically the same as Indians but different religion.

Israelis are Middle Eastern? Jokes they are. Who gives a heck about what those Arabs say.
Cultures are pretty similar tho
