Not Coping

[Birdofparadise8]

Sounds nice @Blackbird11 

I wish I had more motivation. I new this week was going to be hard, but it's been harder than I thought.

I can understand how hard it is @Birdofparadise8. I've had several stays in hospital and it is hard adjusting to your own way of life again. Try be kind to yourself, it is still only early days so far.

It's just stressful because I have an exam on Friday. I've done no study for it @Blackbird11 

I don't think I'll fail the uni, but I don't know. I know I need to study, but then I can't study because of how I feel, but then not studying is making me more stressed, and so now I'm stressed about being stressed about not studying. 

I wish I was still in the hospital. It wouldn't be as bad.

Can you ask to sit the exam at a later date? @Birdofparadise8 

You haven't had quality time to study, you have been unwell, surely you can get an extension for it? 

[Birdofparadise8]

Maybe but I just want it over with, to be honest @Blackbird11 

I'm doing a practise quiz now, anyway. 

[Blackbird11]

That's reasonable @Birdofparadise8 Study is hard, especially even harder when unwell!

How's the quiz going?

[Birdofparadise8]

So fun hahaha @Blackbird11 

The exam is also a closed book so that's even more fun. 

I just want to feel better. I'm so sad. 

[Blackbird11]

Sounds challenging @Birdofparadise8 

I think you could seriously consider sitting the exam at a later stage when you are more settled.

I know, but I'm doing a summer unit, and I don't want to sit the exam in the middle of it. 

I'll just push through. To literally get a solid 50% for the unit, I only need 30%, and that's if I only get a 50% on my next assignment but I should get a 60% + hopefully, so I'll need even less @Blackbird11 

So that is a little less stressful. 

[Blackbird11]

That's good @Birdofparadise8 

You got this!
