Hii everyone. Lately I have been feeling sad I am feeling sad and depressed. My exams are going on and they are bot going well specially not the topper type. I have been a topper all my life and this time I don't think I can make it. I come home to share these feelings but all I find is my mom pointing out my mistakes. But only ik how hard I have worked. The teachers and my parents expectations are so exhausting. My mom says that a child chooses it's parents, when it is actually the parents who bring someone into this world. I cry each day for hours probably because I feel that I am losing my spark. Ik not many ppl will relate to this, but I am just trying to be happy snd feel worthy

What I mean is, you shouldn't judge yourself the way your mom does. She may have her own expectations, but if you’re truly doing your best, that is incredibly valuable. You’re doing a great job. You’re in a tough situation, but that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you. You really are trying, and I hope you find someone who will support you. Believe me, sometimes everyone around you gets things wrong.
Wow. That sounds like a very tough situation to be dealing with. Academic pressure can be extremely daunting. I agree most people don't understand it until they deal with it. On top of that, to have more pressure when you come home... It sounds like there's no where for the pressure to be released. I'm glad you spoke up here at the very least. Having someone listen to you seems important. We're here. I'm happy to listen if you want to continue sharing.
