Back to school
While I was out earlier i saw 3 of the teachers from school and I guess talking to them made it feel even more real with the whole going back to school and being year 11 on Wednesday.
I don't mind about the school part really it's the whole stress, pressure and work that comes with it. I'm barely managing now and my mental health has gotten so much more worse that it was before the summer.
I'll be back to having panic attacks and anxiety attacks. I'll be back to hiding in the toilets at break and crying so my friends don't see me like it. I'll be back to "Being the smart one" when I can't keep up. I'll be back to the lonely one or the "emo". Its just so much.
I haven't even finished my coursework for DT that I need to finish before I go back. I've had loads of drama work to do on 'an inspector calls' for ages too. But I just don't have the energy to do it.
I guess in a sense I'm scared too. I'm scared that it's the last year of secondary school and I'm not ready to move on. Some of the teachers are all I've really had since being in school and they've helped me get through
I'm worried about mocks and gcses too. They're getting harsher on the grade boundaries each and every year. I'm barely passing some subjects. I can't fail
I'm also worried about prom. It's in less than a year and im gonna be the one covered in scars and sh. And I hate it but I just can't stop. I need it.
Then don't get me started on everything else outside of school. It's all just so shit and idk how much I can take
