i cheated on my exam and need help

im so stupid and so incredibly sorry for what i did, i have had really awfull mental battles as a cause from my mum dying this time last year and my father 11 years prior, i got really stressed before this one history exam and i was caught cheating and i thought i did so well on my other exams and im scared they will get disqualified too and i just want some similar situations or potential outcomes, im not asking for any form of sympathy i understand the gravity of my action but i just want to know as the exam board havent said anything yet , thank you all God bless you

hi there, that sounds so so stressful and i’m really sorry you’re going through this.

you already understand that what you did was wrong so there’s no point in anyone berating you and i sincerely hope it works out and that you don’t get disqualified. maybe they’ll just give you a 0 for that paper which i know still sounds super worrying but if the worst happens, you can retake. i know this seems dire but there are always alternative paths and a way to get through things and you will make it through okay? whatever will happen will happen and you can’t change it so you may as well keep moving on and not stress about it too much until there’s any actual advancement of the situation.

best of luck friend <3

thank you so much, this means so much to me as my past year has been horrible and people just picking up the mistakes rather than the reasoning, and i appreciate you are able to do that with your first impression of me is a mistake i made, best of luck to everything in your life and god bless your soul 🙏❤️
