Life's a b***h

OK.. I here you say, this is just another silly little thread where everyone is going through the same. BUT I don't feel normal. I'm doin my exams and I feel so alienated from the rest of the world... especially my family. I've balanced revision with going out fairly well, so I should be ok. Only thing is, just this week, I've just shut myself out of everything, without meaning to. I don't think any of my family are talking to me. Whatever I try to say, just comes out as a one-liner or they critices me, sayin the usual "told you so" attitude. I know its probably exam stress but I it. I get on so well with my family, so they must think I'm being totally out of order! They know I'm stressed, so that's probably why they're avoiding me. However, I really want them to give me that little bit more support... I need them but don't know what to say... any help???

just dont worry, ur family are probably backing off because they feel u mite be under stress from your exams. They probably feel if they talk to you u mite snap at them or something. (i doubt u will tho)

just try ur best to start a convo with them. If all fails talk to them and tell them u feel bad about the way they are being.

i bet everything will be back to normal after ur exams.

STAY HAPPY :biggrin:

haha ok i know exactly how you feel! Just do the revision anyway though... otherwise on results day when your walking up to school... past all the smiling ppl that have got their results already... you'll be disappointed if you know you could've done better.

Its bad enough if you feel disappointed.. but ppl coming up to you on results day adn asking what you got is just annoying... so avoid the embarrassment... REVISE!

hey

yeah ur parents/fam are probs keeping away bcoz they know you are under a lot of stress and dont want u to bite their head off *huggles* im not too sure what to suggest really. my family are like that as well but i quite like it bcoz at least they aint stressing me out! my older brother keeps taking the piss saying i live in my revision books lol!

good luck, itl all be over soon! and if you really do want the support of your fam and you want them to know you need them, howbout do a melodramatic act?! go down crying.. my friend did that the other day, she waz like im going to go down and cry to my parents so i can get some support.. i admired her honesty that she wanted some attention and she went and did it, without beating round the bush lol.

when i have to study a lot, i eventually become very depressed sitting around reading all the time...so what i do (i know its horrible) is eat sugary foods (hmmmm, chocolate :biggrin:

)! Yes, eventually sugar levels will go down and i'll feel worse but that bit of chocolate certainly gets the heart pumping - kind of like that "getting high" post above, lol

Hmm it's just a combination of stress and generally, well, growing up I think. I'm always feeling paranoid about one thing or another but it generally passes!
