Anxiety

Last post

...See more Hey everyone, so I am going through a lot of academic pressure, like you have this constant pressure to score excellent because that is what I have always been doing,being an outstanding student all my life. This time the mid terms did not go well, and I literally keep studying all the time. Like when my parents wanted to give me something new like a phone and I rejected it, just because I think I do not deserve it, I underperformed. I am getting my results in a few days and I am going through anxiety and I am not ready to hear about the teacher blabbing about how this time I could have done better and that I did not get a perfect grade. I feel like a disappointment right now.

I’m in a spot in my life where I’m considering retrying college or even a career diploma to help myself get somewhere for a better future and doing something I genuinely like. However, I’m always hit with anxiety about it, mostly the fear I’ll be unable to do it. Any tips to help me get past that fear please and thank you?

English Grammar Help

Last post
 8 hours ago
...See more Needless to say that English has become a global language. Realising its importance and influence, you might have had a long cherished desire to improve your English language proficiency. The time has come.. Is Grammar Boring? Some say grammar is boring, but there are a few who have made grammar their lifetime study. For many, grammar has come to be associated with boredom and pain in the neck. It is not really so. Perhaps the fault lies in the system which has not given due importance to the presentation of grammar. Grammar is as much an interesting study, say, as music or dance. What, after all, is Grammar? Is it a system of rules and regulations about the usage of the language? No. Language experts today agree that grammar is a description of the way the language is used by the general educated public. It tell us about the accepted forms of the language. Subscribe to this thread for grammar presented in an amusing way.

Need Guidance

...See more I recently graduated in Mathematics and am currently preparing for a government job. But my heart has always been drawn to teaching, especially Montessori education and early childhood development. My family is supportive, but they worry about the limited opportunities and financial stability in this field. Because of this, I constantly fear failure and financial dependency, which often leaves me demotivated and unable to study consistently. How can I overcome this fear, become financially independent, stay productive, and still follow my dream of becoming a teacher?

...See more Hello everyone, I started college about 3 weeks ago , honestly I was super excited at first but after I became anxious, stressful, overthinking... ...and a lot . I'm scared about tests and exams , bc I have to get excellent marks and that's not easy there at all , so I will explain everything to you: I'm studying at school of technology here in Morocco and we study there for two years after every student choose his own path .my path is to continue my studies at engineering, but have to get excellent marks and even the top students there don't get them , hhh I laughing from pain So and after that I have to take one of the hardest test in there , I can complete my studies abroad but money is my only problem, my father's salary under 10$ a month so we are poor poor . And that's hurt me bc I know that they want to see me at a great place but they can't help Two days ago i came home from my classes and when I got home I failed on the floor and cried like I lost someone, I couldn't stop 💔 my father was concerned about me and he took me with his motorcycle and we went to get me something to eat and on tge way he asked why am I like this , I told him how I'm feeling , he told me that I have to try my best and if the results weren't good , it's God will , we have to try and put own trust on God. He comforted me and I felt relieved at that moment, but after that I came back to stress, crying, overthinking, moreover my friend olso felt hopeless, she was hiding her feelings from everyone but yesterday she told me everything, she cried. She know how to hide her struggles and feelings inlike me if I'm struggling it will show on me . Anyway she spoke with me and after that I became worse. But yesterday I had classes until 4pm so I told my dad to pick me up from there and he came , I told him I need to go to tge Beach he didn't tell no , he took me to buy some snacks and then we went to there , we set , we listened to the sound of the waves and we ate our snacks it's was actually a beautiful calm moment. And on our way to home I prayed to God the whole way , I actually felt little better. Students from the second year told me that it's normal to feel like this bc it's your first time at college everything is new , so you'll feel like that , I hope that this is only temporary, I will try my best and pray to good every day . I will olso go out with my father anytime I didn't feel good . I will pray to god to give a chance to study abroad bc it was always my dream. I'll write to you if anything happened good or bad
