HSC making you sick? (1 Viewer)

[~untitled~]

I have a nice combination of a lack of sleep (I got 10 hours this week. my bad.), moodiness, headaches, stomachaches, weight loss AND gain depending on whether I opt to overeat or undereat and insomnia... I think everyone feels it physically sometimes. I had a nice little burst-into-tears moment at school yesterday. Usually I can contain myself at school but yesterday was bad. My teacher told me I really need to relax and start taking it easy... easy for her to say! Sometimes I feel like I could explode I am that stressed, but only sometimes.

I was having trouble sleeping too, get some sleeping tablets theyll really help. Yea, i had one of those 'burst into tears moments' last week too, and yea i got the same 'it's alright, dont worry about it so much' talk! eventhough, its their pressure to do well that causes most of it!

I love how people say 'take it easy, don't stress, it's only the hsc' but its not their goddamn hsc! I couldnt hear properly and the doctor told me its because i subconsciously grind my teeth while i sleep and that changes some tube in my jaw and thats why I can't hear. I said i dont feel stressed. He said, youre in year 12, its subconscious stress. Couldve punched that mans face in....grrrr....and i have chronic fatigue syndrome which is compounded by stress too....i hate the hsc

The hair discombobulates me

My, what a word. I might use that today.

It's so contradicting, it's like "Hey, stress less kids, it's only the HSC, no big", next thing you know, they pile on assessments and go "Study hard okay? This counts for 40% of your final mark. FORTY. PERCENT. OF. YOUR. FINAL. MARK."

It saddens me so.

Lol yeh I can't go to the gym/dance classes much anymore because of assessments and that makes me feel fatigued 24/7.

I've probably gained weight (I say prob because I never weigh myself- as long as my jeans aren't tight, I'm ok)
My skin condition has worsened because I'm so tired at night, that I can't stick to my normal medication routine.

Oh .. is eczema caused by stress ?

It can be.

I think it's also hereditary. (my Dad gets it)

 

[jirwin]

not so much the hsc but school in general - since about yr ten... i'm stressed all the time - even in the xmas holidays when i was on holidays in qld visiting my cousins - a fun thing.

my eyes are also bad, needed glasses since march last yr but i never wear them so my eyes are getting worse

 

[xclusv2bhung]

oh damn ... that must suck.

I'm still amazed at the vision I still have with my eyes.

I'm still amazed at the vision I still have with my eyes.

I think mine is slightly deteriorating.

My eyesight is good. I never ever had a headache before Year 11 though and now I get them most weeks. I've had this one for 3 days now but it's probably not helped by the fact that last night I didn't sleep (but I did work) and the couple of nights before I only got 3-4 hours sleep. It's not nice. Oh well - only about 6 months til I'm free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know how everyone feels - i went to the dentist with an aching jaw and headaches because I thought i was getting my wisdom teeth, but apparently i clench my teeth (both when i'm awake and sleeping), due to either emotional upset or stress. Turns out this clenching means my jaw muscles never get a rest, which is what causes the headaches

Not to mention a major skin breakout with every assessment

i swear the hsc extends the duration of colds...prob from lack of sleep and bad eating patterns
