Question/vent?
So I have been clean for about 4 years now but I just found out that i failed my exam, just one, nothing affecting my future (not a lot atleast) but it's like going down in a spiral, i usually have good control over my emotions but my parents are so mad and i can't stop thinking, I know I won't do it again ( i made a promise and I won't break it) but these thoughts are so loud how to I stop them? Because I just randomly start crying out of nowhere and I then I can't breathe and then thoughts reminding me of everything from all the years ago and how I felt when it happened, it's just alot yk
I had friend who used to help with all of this but we kinda drifted apart over the years so I don't know who to go for help now, that's why I'm here
Hey there! I hope you are doing well at the moment. I am sorry that you are going through this situation. It's understandable that always strive for the best results in education, especially the exams, and we might feel bad about ourselves if we didn't do very well. The general purpose of exams in general is to test your knowledge and help you find knowledge gaps. The reason I mention this is that we can focus on how we can get better instead of pondering over the reasons for the undesired results. Take bodybuilding as an example. If a professional bodybuilder realizes that he doesn't have good enough biceps, that person would work out the biceps more. You can always find opportunities to do the work and achieve better than before. I know you can carry on the 4 years of good effort and I wish you the best for your studies.
