Regret dropping A level

September i started sixth form. I was doing a level biology chemistry and maths. I chose these subjects because i like science and the problem solving and logical reasoning aspects of learning. When i told people what i was doing such as friends and family they were all worried for me because of how demanding and difficult each a level subject is. Their worry knocked down my confidence and ability to pursue my a level for the next 2 years, especially maths. I got a 7 at gcse which i was extremely proud of because throughout year 10 and 11 i kept on getting 6s and i knew i needed to at least get a 7 or above if i wanted to do a level maths. After revising for my maths gcse and further maths and got the grade i got i was so proud of my self like all my hard work paid of and i was able to do the subject i want. i got a 6 in further maths gcse btw which i was shocked by because i though i wouldve failied lol.However my confidence compeletly went and had a lot of self doubt. When i started doing maths a level in September there were aspects that were difficult which triggered my self doubt. Especially statistics which i found the most difficult. i remember being so overwhelmed and lost in lessons yet i barely asked for help from my teacher due to fear which was silly of me. i made maths seem more daunting than it was supposed to be due to everyone's opinions. i didnt trust myself that i would get a good grade in maths and had days where i would completely stress out and question why i was doing this subject, forgetting all the reasons why i picked it due to the immense stress. That caused me to drop a level maths which i regret till this day. i am now doing psychology which i extremely hate. im not an essay person so doing psychology and the heavy content really annoys me. i tried switching back to maths but my sixth form isnt allowing it due to policy and my wellbeing because they know the stress i went through. And to be honest i was hesitant to switch back to maths in the beginning because i thought i would go back to being stressed out again. but after speaking to my maths teacher and science teacher they gave me the confidence to try again and see if i can go do maths a level again but my head of sixth form is not allowing it due to the work i missed able they were not moving students to any new classes which i understand but it still is annoying. I feel like i gave up and didnt try with maths. and because of this immense regret it is affecting all my other subjects like biology and chemistry. every test in bio ive done ive failed as well as chem but recetly ive been kind of getting the hang of chem. im just upset because i thought by dropping maths and doing psychology my mental wellbeing would improve but instead it has become much worse. Some lessons in bio and chem where i found things difficult i just get triggered by the thought of maths being difficult yet i still left so what does that mean should i leave chem and bio because its difficult? i feel like i messed up everything . there are days where I can't be asked to put any effort into any of my subjects due to me feeling hatred towards myself for dropping maths so early on.
Any advice would be appreciated

Hi there! (:
I'm sorry to hear you've been finding this year tough with your subjects ☹️ - I'd recommend seeing if you're able to get your science and maths teachers to speak to your head of sixth form, maybe seeing if they can help with creating a bit of a study-plan to catch you up and speaking about any other type of help avaible through the year - anything like study support sessions at your school, any extra support you could maybe get with getting taught parts of the course you missed! - having a bit of a plan with it might help to let you take it, also explaining to them just your general enjoyment for maths and if theres anything you were maybe looking to do outwith school that youd need the a-level to do 😊
hope this helps a bit, best of luck!
