Hey guys, so title basically sums up the post. I am not happy with my life. For starters I have 2 exams next Thursday on the same day. I have another set of finals a week later for the same subjects. I have tried to study for these 2 exams for the past week but I cannot get myself to study. I graduate within 3 weeks, and start OT school within 5 weeks. I was extremely excited when I got my acceptance but now I get very anxious while thinking about OT school bcs I feel like I will fail in my anatomy class. I also am super worried that people will judge me for not being professional enough. ETA: I wish there was some gap in which I could spend some time with my family.
Within the next 4 weeks I have to study for my finals, move out of my current apartment, find a new apartment to relocate to, and find a sublessee for my current apartment. I am also kinda fed up of moving and searching for a sublessee every year for the past 4 years.
Also, I feel like I just need a tight hug. My parents are coming over in a week to help me with these things but Im panicking right now. I know that I can do these things but I am so fucking worried that I will not do well in my finals and botch up my undergrad degree.
Also, I think I may have ADHD, but have not revealed this to anyone in my family.
Transistions are hard. When I moved into my first apartment alone, I had a tough time. But I got over it and it is definitely worth it to be here.
Try a visualization exercise. Imagine that you are in the future. Your schooling is done, you live in a wonderful apartment. Your job is awesome. Imagine inviting your family to your apartment and they're very proud of you. Imagine the peace that you feel because you did the hard work to be in the place that you will be in the future.
I haven't got any advice but wanted to say you've totally got this! Virtual hug :)
It sounds all very stressful :(. First I want to send you a virtual hug! I am sure you will do well in your exams, don’t forget that studying for them is very important but a big part is also everything you have learned during the year and that’s still in your head. Before you mentioned it, I thought it might be ADHD as it is massively undiagnosed in girls and women because they often don’t have the H(yperactivity) symptom part of it and they are less disruptive in class so less likely to be sent for diagnosis. Also, women are socialised to cope without complaining and so they just cope. The procrastination which is overwhelming (impossible to get started on a task) is a sign. Try to listen to short podcasts on it and get tips to help with that getting started and staying focused a little bit longer. Good luck!
I forgot to add that you'll do fine on your finals! Keep working hard!
I'm so sorry you're going through all that!
Is there any way you can contact to your professors? Maybe you can re-schedule a possible make-up date?
I know it seems farfetched...but seriously contact them. It took me a long ass time to realize that my professors were willing to accommodate me If I just asked.
