Mental health and A-levels
Hi,
I’m currently in Y12, and my mental health has been making it near impossible to study.
I cannot focus, and when I try to work I become completely overwhelmed with depressive and anxious thoughts that make it very difficult to work, and sometimes I’ve even given up.
I’m currently talking to my counselling, which has been helping, but my main concern is that I’ve wasted so much time since September due to my mental health, and that I’m going to get poor predicted grades.
Everyone else seemed so put together 1/2 months in, revising consistently. But, I’m only settling in now, bloody 4/5 months in!!! I’ve struggled to make friends so being in sixth form is difficult, and I can’t see my best friend from secondary often.
Since September I have done little revision, and have mainly just been doing my homework, spending extra time on it like reading deeper in the topics covered in the homework. (From within and outside the curriculum)
I did revise in the lead up to my first mocks, but I know I didn’t give myself enough time to actual do as well as I could. But, because of my performance in the exam and in lessons, I’m already predicted ABB/BBB (not sure which one) so I guess that’s something?
Point is, I need someone to tell me straight.
Has my mental health and my difficulty to settle in screwed over my A-levels? Considering I’ve started to settle in now, can I still save my predicted, or should I just prepare myself for more heartbreak?
