I did really badly for my first term of school and I told myself that I must work very hard and get all A's for term 2. Now that my second term has started, I can't seem to stop worrying because I'm really very very afraid of it being like in term 1. When I was in term 1, I stressed myself so much in order to get good grades that I cried everytime. It kind of gave me a phobia for school work.
I told myself to take it easy and just be consistent in term 2. It seem to work at first but after a while, I just fall back into the pit again. The pressure of not wanting this term to be like in term 1 is killing me. Because I really don't wanna stress myself to death like I did in term 1.
My heart kept beating so fast and I can't sleep at night. I just keep worrying and worrying. What if I can't get those classes that I want, what if I can't make any new friends, what if I don't have time to revise for my work, what if I can't do well for my term 2 tests and exams. I can tell people to relax but I can't seem to calm myself down. Someone please help me to stop worrying! Don't diagnose me. Help me!
