I'm really overwhelmed with schoolwork
I got tons of schoolwork to do right now. Nearly all my notebooks are incomplete. We are getting fresh new homework every single day. All teachers are running to finish the portion because they don't have much time. We have 3 notebook submissions on Monday and all 3 of them are incomplete. It's just so hard to manage.
And I'm clearly not able to manage so much pressure (and I'm just in 8th grade, I wonder how I'd manage next year if things are already so bad) and seriously I'm falling behind on schoolwork. Plus I also have to start studying for annual exams starting on 1st march. And I'm not able to focus on anything well because I'm depressed, and it's making it hard to study well, also with such high expectations from my parents and teachers.
One day I manage to sit down and finish one subject and the next day we again get loaded with new homework. I can never stay on top of everything. Some or the other subject always has serious amounts of pending work. It's an endless cycle of homework and stress. I'm tired and dunno what to do.
I definitely get pretty carried away with Cups and don't do much schoolwork on some days, and I'm trying to deal with that a little by making a schedule sorta thing and trying to follow it as best as I can. But I'm oftentimes not able to follow it and end up spending way too much time on Cups. And I don't really have a schedule for Saturday or Sunday evenings (and I can't come up with one) so I spend most of the weekends online and can't stop myself.
For a while now, I've been thinking maybe I should go on a little break from Cups so I can focus a bit more on schoolwork and hopefully catch up with things a bit. But that would feel like I'm punishing myself and not caring for my mental health. I love Cups and I love talking to people on here. And I have no other emotional outlet so trying to stay off Cups for a week or so would mean I bottle everything up and that would just hurt so much and it might mean I won't be able to focus on my schoolwork. I'd also really miss the wonderful people here. I really dunno what do do.
I'm looking for help or suggestions you might have. Thank you so much for reading though this. 💜
