Started AS with amazing grades then in November my grandfather passed away and then in January my grandma and it really hit me however my college forced me to sit my mock exams and just offered to let me sit at the front during my exams . Roll round to my end of year exams and I just lost motivation really and the will to do anything so ended up getting BCU in the end which led me to getting horrible predicted grades . I'm not revising anymore I'm always glum and Im just sick of myself in this state . Idk how to get out of it . Any advice please ¿?

Talk to your mum and/or dad about how you're feeling, I'm sure they've noticed you might not be yourself.

Sorry for your losses.

I think you are suffering from stress and need help. Talk to your parents and go to the gp.
Sorry about your lose and the lack of help college has been . You could get gp to write to them and specify the help you need.
Be kind to yourself and eat well.
You have done well in realising that you have a problem, that's the first big step..
Take care

I don't think they have , I'm quite normal in front of them also I've asked for my desk to be moved into my room however they have flat out refused because they don't trust me and don't think I'm studying

Well, you have admitted you've given up so they are right not to trust that you'll study.
You have had a lot of stress to manage but you shouldn't screw up your a levels because of it. Try to find what helps you to manage your stress levels. Talk to your parents or someone you trust and try to get yourself in the right mindset to resume studies.

My parents think I'm fine and don't let me tell too much to the GP as they say the GP make too much of a big deal out of everything .

I am struggling with stress and I don't know how to deal with it

Sorry to hear about your grandparents. Flowers

Your A Level results are your ticket to university and a different life if that’s what you are heading towards. Think of working for them as a way to get out of this glum state and potentially change your life into the one you actually want. Everything is temporary at this stage although it feels like the end of the world at the time. If you work hard, you could be doing something completely different in a completely different place at this time next year. Good luck!

I was studying for professional exams when my DM passed away unexpectedly. My concentration went totally and studying for exams was a nightmare. I didn't pick up a book for a long time. Do the AS results count towards your A level results? Is there a teacher you can talk to? You are grieving for your grandparents. Take care Flowers

@misscockerspaniel I'm sorry to hear about your mother and I'm sure she's in a better place . These exams don't count towards anything but my predicted grades as they are internal mocks I'm just scared in going to fail my real a levels

@Ronnie27 yeah I'm trying to look towards that I just can't bring to do anything at home . I force myself to go the library in school and at least get my homework done but at home I can't bring myself to do any revision and just stay in bed all day . I've also been feeling very drained lately

Promise us you will speak to someone in real life eg a teacher or your doctor (you don't need your parents' permission to make an appointment and go on your own). What you are experiencing is grief and time is a great healer but as you are only too well aware, your A levels are looming.

Emily786 · 27/06/2019 20:36

@misscockerspaniel I will I have an appointment next Friday Smile
