feeling really down

Nothing seems to be right at the moment :-( I'm in year 13 and so only have 3 days of school left and on the one hand I'm relieved that I'm leaving school but at the same time I'm so stressed about my exams, results, uni etc etc that I don't want to leave! I also really miss my boyfriend:frown: We live a long way away from one other and I'm not going to see him for at least 2 months which is also making me feel really crap. I miss him all the time and sometimes me thinking about him distracts me from my work. Then I get even more distracted by the fact that Im finding a lot of my work really hard and so try and find things to do instead! Also I think I have OCD (never been to a doctor about it but I'm sure I do have it) and recently its been getting a lot worse. This again is making me upset as I get annoyed with myself for repeatedly having to do things, even though I know it is ridiculous(sp?) doing them and the amount of time I spent checking and repeating things, and worrying is also making me feel worse.
What can I do to make myself feel better? I know that I need to do my revision, but I'm finding it so hard to get motivated enough. Also, does anyone have any ideas of some special I can send/make my boyfriend? To show him that I love him even when I'm in a mood about stupid exams etc :s-smilie:
thanks,
carsi

You only have 3 days left- that's nothing! :smile:

Try and maintain contact with your boyfriend everyday and try to see if you feel like you can manage some spare time.

I also think you should go to a doctor and get a diagnosis, because you could get a letter and let the exam boards know. It might be useful knowing that you have support. I don't know how soon you have to let them know though.
