Surviving Year 12?

To be honest, this is much more of a rant rather than a question, but ive genuinely just been having the worst year of my life, mentally and physically. I am so incapable of doing such basic things and taking care of myself, forget about actually trying in classes and pretending that i am *ok* and i feel like this is so like, hidden? i am such an outgoing extrovert so its like, nobody would think that I feel this way. I used to do so well in classes before i chose my subjects (maths chem bio) and everything has been going so so so downhill. tbf i got BBB in my recent exams and i was fr so proud of myself considering ive been feeling so badly lately. I have also made so much progress revision wise over the holidays and ive been so happy with my change in lifestyle, and tbh everything was looking good! i had not cried in ages, i hadnt had negative thoughts, i was finally understadning pure maths and organic, i was just so happy. until parents evening last week where my teachers had a field day criticising me and basically calling me lazy and that i hadnt reached their 'standards' they had set regarding MY grades, which broke me so much. I truly hadnt expected them to be so harsh with my work, and it hurt so much being called 'lazy' when ive genuinelly just been so mentally exhausted and not okay for the whole year. the fact that they were so fast to assume that ive just been doing nothing rather then actually been having trouble surviving school since november really hurt. and just when i thought everything was going okay and i had actually started revising, being happy, and most of all, actually just enjoying life, they went and bulldozed through everything in 8 minutes. idk how to come back from this and its just makes me feel so bad for letting everyone and myself down. they said it would be 'hard' for me to apply for what i want and just spent the whole session putting me down. now anytime i pick up my book to revise i just think about their critics and harsh judgement. idk what to do anymore. how do i revise such difficult things when nobody believes in me, and everyone just thinks im going to do bad? how do i actually survive the year in my current state? and in all, does anybody believe i can still secure my A*AA by the end of June for the end of year exams?

(omds this was acc so long this is so emotionally charged sorry to anyone who does read this)

I’ve read it 🙂 I hope your doing ok.
Don’t let that teacher bring you down, at the end of the day it’s your grades for YOURself. As long as you try your best and you know you’re trying your best then that’s what matters. If u know you were getting into the flow don’t let another persons untimely comments ruin your flow. Keep doing what you know works best for you!!
Indeed with every hardship comes ease..I’m not sure if you’ve heard this quote (from the Quran) but it is 100% true
