Everywhere I go I see successful people, happy people,confident people. And here I am again, another year with nothing but the prospect of fear and failure. I'm not happy with anything in my life and I hate being around people who seem to have no problems, I just can't relate, they don't seem human. I am scared all the time, scared of exams, scared of growing up, scared of finding a job...nothing is easy and everything is a big deal. I can't sleep, I stress all the time and everything is a big deal. I'm so uptight I can't make conversation with anyone without sounding like a freak. I just wish I had more to offer to this world

You have more to offer than you think. It may be difficult being around people with their "perfect" lives but they may understand what your going through maybe talking to your friends about whats going through your mind. it will help a great deal
if you do need someone to talk to I am here if you'd like to pm me hope things brighten up for you this year

Alot of peopel you may think are successful have problems themselves, or have been through similar problems that make themselves stronger.
As someone said, you have to have a positive mental attitude. Try to stop spending time worrying about your exams, and focus on doing the best you can on them . N worst the worst that can happen if ya dont do well? like nowadays, you can retake them, or try other qualifications.
Some of my friends have done amazing from getting D's and E's at A level.
Maybe you need to stop thinking about the future.
I had this 1 career in mind from when I was 13 to 19, and now I'm 20 I've changed my mind, and at first it got me down, but then I realised that I have so much to offer to whatever I do, that it no longer freaks me out.
So try and think positive, as you have something to give the world, even if you dont know it yet.
Good luck.

We all have to work for what we achieve, irrespective of what a piece of paper with a few capitalised letters say or the salaries in our accounts, we work hard because nothing is easy, hence something is worthwhile.

That something will find you anyway so stop hiding and start looking
