I think that if you have a goal in life, you'll work to it no matter what it takes even if sometimes are hard. As I know when I reach it I can chill

yeah I understand I have goals in life and aims but sometimes it justs gets a bit much

Take a break, don't do any work for a day or so and do things you enjoy to just de-stress.
Then after that work at a slow pace to ease yourself back into a routine. Don't go into hardcore revision straightaway.

Also if you find that you have a lot to do, set your priorities and go through them in small intervals so you don't overwhelm yourself with how much you have to do.

I don't know if it is just me but sometimes I just feel like **** this it is mainly due to the stress of doing A levels. How do you guys feel?

I felt exactly the same when I was doing my A Levels, due to both the A Levels themselves, and other factors such as issues with friends and problems at home. I suffered from both stress and depression throughout my time in sixth form, however I did manage to get through it. It may help if you think about what you want to do beyond A Levels, such as a degree or job, to give yourself a good reason for getting the work done and to help get some of your motivation back.

Also, don't be afraid or embarrassed to seek help if you feel like you're getting overwhelmed, there are many ways to get support for issues such as stress, whether that's from within your college, your doctor, family, or online self help resources, for example :smile:

It's understandable it gets hard, but to cope under stress the best thing to do is to ensure you are well organised,it will deduce a lot of pressure. Use your time wisely
