@blackdog I know I shouldn’t dismiss those feelings. It’s just a lot of the times I know I’m emotional but it takes me a long time to decipher what it means or even to describe them. And I’ve had times where I try to confide in my friends but they can’t relate so they get dismissive and then I feel bad and then I just keep it to myself.
You’re right I was so miserable that year. My whole life was school, and any small upset at school was like my whole world was ending.
I have to work hard to remind myself all the time that although its important its not the end of the world, and my grades aren’t an indicator of intelligence. But, it always seems easier said than done. I’m probably not stupid. The funny thing is people always tell me I’m smart (and I hate hearing it) because I feel like an imposter. Like some how I’ve deceived people into thinking I’m a functional adult when I’m on the verge of falling apart.
