I’m reaching my breaking point. It’s just absurd that I’m coming in every day, only to feel like I’m wasting my time. Eight hours at work, then heading home to put in a few more hours because it feels like there’s nothing else for me to do. I’m overwhelmed with stress. I can barely manage to maintain an A in just one class. What went wrong? For the past two years, I’ve been a straight-A student, and now everything feels like it’s falling apart. What am I supposed to do now?
I can’t do this anymore
I’m really sorry to hear that you’re feeling this way. It sounds incredibly overwhelming, and it’s completely understandable to feel stressed when things change. Remember, it’s okay to seek help—whether that’s talking to a teacher, a friend, or a counselor. Sometimes just sharing how you feel can lighten the load a little.
As for your classes, consider reaching out for support, maybe form a study group or speak with your teachers about how you’re feeling. They might have resources that can help you get back on track.
And don’t be too hard on yourself! It’s normal for grades to fluctuate, especially during challenging times. Focus on what you can control, and take breaks when you need them. You’ve done so well for so long—trust that you can overcome this too. You’re not alone in this struggle!
