Real talk cause I'm feeling pretty isolated RN (2 Viewers)

How many of you are feeling the mental health strain from the HSC? It feels like my depression is severely limiting my ability to work and study before the exams actually come around. I feel so inadequate when seeing all the people who seem to effortlessly push themselves into studying+ hours a day.

I'll be lucky to get above 75 ATAR, which is fine for the courses I want, but I still feel like a disappointment.

I hope everyone is able to push through this time so we can all celebrate post HSC, and finally kick high school into the past

I have several mental health conditions and it is certainly a struggle tbh. Nonetheless im very academically driven so im aiming very high, which i think I’m capable of. The stress and workload is there, but in all honesty it’s not as bad as I anticipated.

And yeah I relate to that hard, seeing how much people study in one day and I’m lucky to get a few hours worth of good revision and practice. Easier said than done, but try not to compare yourself too hard to what others are doing — use it as a wake up call and slight performance booster, but don’t let it pull you down. Everyone works at their own rate, and it could be that you’re studying more efficiently than them which trumps quantity

anyway yeah feeling okay, I just want these exams to be over to finally have a massive weight lifted off my shoulders. one day at a time!!!

open up two google docs tabs, stare at a book for an hour, type up a few words in google docs, look on your phone for 10 mins and let it bloom to 3 hours
