I totally understand 100% did you set a big goal or small- it’s ok to not always achieve what you set for your goal- don’t give up try again but this time set a small goal 1 step at a time. If I didn’t explain well enough please tell me.

It was a big goal, but seeing other people achieve it makes me feel so bad.

@😶😐🥴 It’s ok just start with the little things that make you happy and check it off maybe make a small goal list and then once you finish those reward yourself with something

Hmmm I see. Ok firstly, I understand that you feel quite let down (in yourself) and it’s taken a kick at your self esteem? Maybe? Especially with school. And now you’ve just gone totally off it because you feel ‘dumber’ / ‘less calable’. But I honestly think you’re being very hard on yourself. It’s okay to not do that well at times. I consider myself smart but I’ve gotten bad grades in things before! One thing that never helps is comparisons. They’re so damaging honestly. Compare yourself to YOURSELF. Maybe just try to work on your confidence with this and then acceptance. Accepting that getting bad grades is okay, and so is getting good ones. That way there’s less of a grip it has over you.

Today was horrible 😐. It’s like everywhere I go people are talking about these tests, And all the people with great grades all seem so motivated and happy. I can’t shake this feeling off and it’s interfering massively with my life.

Have you ever considered that trying to ‘shake it off’ is getting you MORE stuck? It’s a compulsion to try to get rid of any unwanted feeling, not limited to just anxiety.

@garden I try accepting it but when I see someone else with good results I get anxiety again and think how would it feel if I was that person.

@😶😐🥴 I get it. I’m like that with other things. Comparisons are compulsions too. I find them hard to cut out

@garden I have an appointment with my therapist next Thursday but I have no idea what to do until then, I’m literally stuck in these thoughts and I don’t know how to get out

@😶😐🥴 I’m so sorry. It sounds very difficult. Beyond school, what are some things you value?

I’m in a class with a majority (basically all) people a grade younger than me because I messed up my schedule. it will be like this next year too, because the class that i’m in next year my grade already took this past year. I messed up , and now my friends ask me about it and treat me like younger than them and like below them kind of. and they’re not bad friends, but it is embarrassing bec what i did is just not normal. i’ve tried to keep it on the dl from people because they judge. I know i’m probably overthinking it but i’m scared my friends are gonna leave me because all they talk about is the class that they’re in that i’m not in and leave me because I’m behind. it’s really stupid that i’m not really a part of my own grade anymore, and it ruined my school years that i am currently in (at least that’s what it feels like). basically im scared that i’m going to be lonely the rest of these years and sad and it’s all because of a choice I made, even though i hope they wouldn’t do that.:(

I feel like I’ve lost who I am , even since my depression and ocd started. I don’t even know what I like anymore:(( I doubt everything I think and it’s so draining because I just want to feel like my old self again😭 I feel like I have no motivation to get better which is bothering me so much because I want too but something is holding me back from doing what I need to do :/ with all my thoughts and doubts , I feel like I can’t trust myself . I don’t know if I’m the only one that feels this much pain
