I’m a high school senior and I’ll be graduating soon. I don’t have the best mother, and she frequently tells me I’m a horrible student and that I won’t be graduating like all my friends will. It’s really discouraging, especially since I kinda believe her. Everyone else keeps telling me that I will in fact graduate, but whenever I think about school and all my (missing) schoolwork it makes me freak out. I feel like I’m having continuous panic attacks nowadays. It’s getting exhausting, is there anything that will help me get better? p.s. I smoke weed to cope with stress and take anxiety medication as needed

      Hey I’m sorry you’re going through that. Have you reached out to your school counselor? They might be able to help you create a graduation plan and help with the course load

      i went through the exact same thing…but ik you’re gonna make it and graduate and prove her wrong it’s the worst feeling ever when they won’t quit saying it :( but listen u got this u just gotta ask them what u can do even if it takes u with barely passing that’s graduating. i think definitely taking deep breathes and telling yourself you’re gonna be okay and just focusing on that could help!

      I went through something similar, I'm sorry you're going through that. I know the time right before graduation is super stressful. Try to breathe and understand that, as long as you do the best you can, you will make it through, someway somehow. You've got this!

      Honestly I feel the same way. Because of covid, my grades dropped badly last year. Freshman year I had good grades. And this year I have all a's but because of last year I feel like I fell behind so bad. I hate looking at my GPA because I'm disappointed. I hate how I feel like i didnt try during online. But i hated online. I hated it so much. I couldn't do anything. I felt like everything was hard. And because of that I envy people with good grades during covid. And I usually never care. I worry so much since I have to make up what I failed last year. But my counselor keeps telling me I'm doing just fine since I catched up but looked ar my grades bring me so much disappointment. Anyways I suggest you to just continue what you're doing (classwork) and not think about ur grades. I'm sure everything will work out in the end. I'm planning on completley forgetting about my grades and just do my work because I'm already mentally exhausted...

        @Itsjustcali I agree. I had an emotionally absent mother and I could never do anything right. The school counselor really helped me.

        @Itsjustcali I have and they’ve reassured me that I’ll graduate! It’s still just stressful

      I’m so sorry to hear that you’re struggling with panic attacks/stress 😥 your mother isn’t being very supportive but you are strong enough to graduate. Just take things in chunks rather than the whole thing at once. Take breaks as needed, keep hydrated and try to get enough sleep. Let me know if you ever need to vent, my DMs are open
