Failed exam? Nope, I'm just inattentive

...See more Hi all, So I got my grade back last week about my midterm exam and when I looked at it I saw the grade and it was a failing grade. I basically panicked and spiraled for the rest of that evening and have been super anxious and stressed all week trying to hid how i feel since I've been to scared/embarrassed/disappointed to tell anyone. Now today I went to a revision periode with the TA and it didn't seem like I got too many questions wrong. So after a the review session, I was feeling less anxious cuz the TA was rlly helpful. So I decided to recheck my grade... AND GUESS WHAT! I did NOT in fact fail that exam!!!! Here I was stressing so much about hiding my grade and thinking this was going to affect my future forever, but NOPE! I still have a chance to do really well. And although it's not a great grade (my usual marks are typically higher) I feel soooo much better and less anxious about it since I can plan my sudying to do well on the final. This will act as my note to self to always READ THE WHOLE GRADE BEFORE PANICKING FOR A WEEK!!!! Thanks! P.S.- Thank you to the person who put a comment on my previous post! It was greatly appreciated and helped me gain the courage to go to the TA! 😁

...See more Hi all, So bad news... I failed my midterm worth 40% of my grade. I'm freaking out and I don't know what to do. I plan on emailing my prof to go over my exam, but I need a higher mark cuz if I don't pass the class with an 80% I'm basically jeopardizing my future opportunities and scholarships. This is a first for me too since I'm a fairly regular 80% average student and I've never done this badly before. I can't tell my parents since they'd freak the *** out (as I am right now) and I don't think extra credit is an option (I will ask my prof to meet to talk about this). I'm scared and my anxiety is through the roof since I found out 2 days ago. I can't enjoy a day out with my family since I feel so guilty. I actually studied for this and I feel like every second I took as a break was what made me fail. I could really use some support right now and advice.... Thanks.

...See more Hi all, So do you ever get in a low motivation mode and keep an assignment until the last minute and then stress about is until the day of until you finally stress do it? And then you read over what you've done and can't tell if it's nonsense or somewhat comprehensive? But even though you have a few hours before the deadline you're just so done with the assignment that you hand it in anyways and think "What will be, will be"? But on the inside you feel like you're waisting your and everyone's time and are so deeply dissapointed in yourself that you wanna just crawl in a hole and sleep for the semester and never show your face in the lecture hall ever again? ... Anyone?
Depressive episodes

...See more Hi all, So lately I've been in a depressive state where I struggle too get out of bed, school seems meaningless and people just seem like a lot of work. This is somewhat in my norm, but lately I've been feeling like breathing is a chore too. Like sometimes I'll feel out of breathe doing nothing and like my chest feels uncomfy (not painful) and my heart feels like it's beating really hard (not fast). It's low-key freaking me out cuz it's new and probably a worsening of my episode, but ik it's not a PA or anything urgent. Just wanted to see if this is something others have felt too.
Anxiety at school

...See more Hi all, So I'm a nursing student and have clinical placements in hospitals. This week, when I was doing something, my placement prof asked me to explain something and I started to word vomit and basically Race through every single detail I knew about the subject. When I finished, very uncertainly may I add, she looked at me and was like "I need you to relax.". She then proceeded to take 3 deep breaths with me and let me restart in a much more calm manner. Later, while she was showing me some documentation thing, she strait up asked me if I had Anxiety. I honestly was t sure how to react so I just told her the truth and said yes and then she asked if I was taking anything for it.... I once again was honest and said no, but that I was looking for therapy options since my doctor recommended it. The interaction was really good and the first good prof I've had who dealt with my anxiety like this instead of getting weirded out by my word vomit. Just was curious on how other people have, or would have reacted to someone asking straight yo if they have Anxiety and/or if they take meds for anxiety.
What is sexual attraction?

...See more Hi all, So I've thought for a few years that I might be on the ace spectrum, but I never really believed it or gave it much thought because I've never dated anyone and just thought that if I get to know someone it'd just happen. Now that I'm looking more into my sexual orientation I've realized that I'm a bit confused on what is considered sexual attraction. Like, when I see someone and think they look attractive, I want to be them, look like them or hang out with them, have a coffee whatever. But I've never seen someone and wanted to do any sexual things with or towards them. I've felt urges before, but very rarely with anyone in mind. What does this mean? Is having urges the same as sexual attraction?
