Struggling with Grades and Mental Health

Nothing is more important than your well-being, including school. Yes, it is important to try hard in school, but you can’t fully do that unless you’re well prepared to face it. If you need to take a week off of school to let yourself breathe, then do it. And if you’re bored, then force yourself to try new things, take a walk everyday and look around. Try to notice small things you’ve never even noticed before. I did this a couple months ago when I was at the lowest I’ve ever been and it helped me more then I thought it would. I hope that you know how important you are and I hope that this helped even if it was just a little bit. Anyways, I believe in you. You can conquer this

I've definitely been there! In truth, my grades didn't start going up until I prioritized myself over my work. Before, I would force myself to try to get work done and be miserable and it would come out poorly anyway. Now, on harder days I give myself a break and talk to my teachers about getting an extension so I don't push myself into a spiral.
