Lost about the future
In just a few days, I have my final school exams which will determine whether I'll be attending university or not, which I'm sure I'll get into my desired course, but beside that Its like I'm losing motivation and focus and don't really understand why I'm doing what I'm doing. Like one minute I want to completely give up and I question what I'm doing with my life and the next I force myself to do the work despite not knowing where it will take me. At this point I'm completely uncertain about my life and don't know where my head is at. I care so much about my education, and despite some disbeliefs and confusions I know that I want to make something for myself but I'm just so unhappy at the moment and feel like there's no need to try and achieve everything. It's just mixed emotions, some days I'm an overachiever and some days I just lose concentration and don't know what I really want. Why am I feeling so confused about the future ? What is it that I'm supposed to do? I feel so incredibly lost and I know that I will never slack off because I choose to be a perfectionist and want to do everything perfectly but the overwhelming feeling of disbelief is consuming me and I'm not sure that killing myself with stress and becoming anxious over the future and school is doing me any good.

I think that the future can appear scary and worrying at times, but I think that you need to remember that what you are feeling now will probably change as you grow and move on to new things. I think everyone has that period in life when they are uncertain about the future, and feel in a way like their future is not as bright as others because others appear to know what they want in life. Your career will probably develop from yor interests and hobbies, and you'll probably discover that what you want to do has been right in front of you this entire time. Try not to stress too much because this is only an early stage
of your life, and I am sure that your future will be bright and happy. You've just not realised it yet!

I think most people go through this "unknown" phase when they are in your position. Most people don't know what they want their career to be. What life is gonna be like and so on. Whatever you decide, decide with your heart and have it be something you're actually passionate about. Otherwise I don't think you want to spend the time and effort into something you're just kinda into. Even if you get a degree in what you're kinda into, you might not like it in the end. Lots of people get degrees, then end up working on some other field entirely. If you decide you don't like your first choice, you can always change it. I don't know what you mean by "feeling of disbelief" disbelief in what? You're putting too much pressure on yourself to have everything figured out. With life, you can plan a bit, but not everything forever. The one constant in life, is that things change. You can always take a semester off to figure things out. If you choose to be a perfectionist, the road is gonna be filled with stress and anxiety. So be easy on yourself, at least once in a while. Nobody is perfect and nobody has everything figured out. Good luck on your tests.
