ProffesorSparkles Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Oh my days I'm actually so tired I can't even describe it. I'm insanely stressed at the minute. I have summer exams in a couple weeks which I should be studying for WAY MORE than I am but I just can't bring myself to study, I just get distracted so easily bc there's so much happening. I have a cookery exam worth 25% of my summer home economics exam, which is so stressful bc it's like 1 hour in a kitchen I've never cooked in before, I practised today and it sucked. I started liking a guy who is (surprise surprise) definitely straight and i have 100% no chance with, so that's taking up way too much space in my mind. So all that plus regular school work and friend group drama is making me want to melt into my bed and stay there until June 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to say that I'm really proud of you for pushing though even though your are finding life stressful rn I can completely relate and feel the pain of not feeling up to revising as much as necessary and the only tip I have that has worked so far is visualising yourself doing well and making revision fun for you so it becomes less of a chore and more of a past time Also good luck for all of your summer exams and the cookery exam! You have got this and once it's done you will feel so elated not having to redo it Awww man, falling for straight people is always the worst feeling, are you absolutely positive he is straight and not bi? But if u are certain, getting over those feelings is hard but trust me, it will happen eventually. In the meantime try to focus on the cookery exam and summer exams to distract yourself from you crush and the drama in the friend group :D But gosh, sounds like your life atm is full to the brim with lots of things, I cant imagine how that must feel. Keep us all updated on your exams and crush/friend group stuff :) 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falling for straight people is the worst, your right I mean i can't be 100 percent sure that he's not bi or something, but I'm pretty sure. It doesn't help maters that he's my friend's ex. Although my friend, (well call her E) has been the person I have spoken to the most about him. It just sucks because I'm not really close enough to him to hang out outside of school, but I talk with him every day at the bus stop and at lunch. I'm glad it's summer soon, because I won't see him for some months which will give me a chance to get over him but at the same time I want to see him every day of summer. Its also just really strange, new feeling for me bc I've never felt like this abt sm1 before and the main thought running through my head is just I really don't need this going on right now and of course me and E keep noticing whenever he glances at me for more than a single second. I'm actually starting to become delusional MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually starting to become delusional Awwww don't worry @ProffesorSparkles!! I can imagine how busy things have been, always happy to hear from you! Have you tried any relaxation techniques to help you destress? You can try breathing exercises, listening to lofi or doing hobbies you enjoy to take your mind off of the exams for a bit - this could be helpful I find having my fidget toys really helps me lock in and study when I'm restless and anxious or when I'm a bit hyper and need physical stimulation but have to do work - could this maybe work for you? Awww nooo what did you cook? Also I hope you saved it and ate it later (or gave it to someone to eat) Ahhh I can safely say that I've been there before. You want to get closer but at the same time you want to just get over him so you don't get yourself hurt in the process - this feeling does suck tbh and I salute you for going through this You could try to get to know him better, maybe just sit with him at break and get to know him. You never know, by getting to know him you might find out if you have a shot or not or if actually he's not how you thought he was and certain things about him arent quite your cup of tea (which might help you get over your crush but by bit) If you do find out he isn't bi and need to get over him fast, maybe E can give you some pointers of things that he did that were a bit of an ick and see if that makes you lose interest?

The main times I get to talk to him at lunch is when his friends aren't around, which isn't often, so I usually just get to chat briefly while we're waiting for the bus. (Little delusional mini-rant here: the other day we were at the bus stop and I went to put smth in the bin and I ended up chatting to my friend and so I was gone for a few mins, and when I came back he came over and was like "bro where did you go you literally disappeared haha" and idek why it made me so happy I was like omg HE came to ME.

Thanks jazzy Awww sorry to hear about that @ProffesorSparkles - could/does the pomodoro technique help you? (basically you work 25 mins and take a break for 5 minutes) Something i used to do to when i had no motivation was to set a 5 min timer and get started on work and do as much as i could in those 5 minutes. Once the time was up, if i wanted to carry on, i would. and if my motivation was still really bad, I would stop but at least i made a start which i found was the hardest thing for me maybe this could work for you too? Yummmm, i bet it tasted absolutely amazing and your parents felt so lucky to have such a delicious dish! Awww yeah, butterflies always make it harder. I guess you could start by getting his number - if you have it already thats great! (if you dont and are are too shy to ask directly, casually slip the question by saying something like, im gonna send you this meme/song/video/gif - oh wait, just realised i dont have your number) And once you have each others number you can text him stuff that you werent able to say to his face cos of the butterflies - getting to know him, what he likes and stuff about his day and he can get to know you better too! Aww omg thats so sweet - i really hope that things go well for you both, and even if you guys dont get together, i really hope you become great friends <3 Sending huge hugs Tom!

Always love hearing what you get up to!! I've actually always used the pomodoro technique! Today I tried with 15 minutes study, 2.5 min break and it was a lot easier The 5 min timer sounds like a good idea! I'll try it out next time I've got no motivation I actually practised the spaghetti again today and it wasn't that bad, the exam is on Wednesday so fingers crossed haha What's actually mad is I already have his number, I have had it for the entire year actually, but I'm absolutely terrified to text him bc idek what I'd say, or how to justify texting him or anything. Its all very scary lmao. I'm meeting up with E tomorrow though so I'll get a rant in and get her advice :) yeah I was absolutely buzzing for the rest of the day he came over to talk to me! thanks so much for letting me chat with you jazzy, I really do appreciate it, not all my friend's care so much, and I don't feel like I can talk about soke stuff with them. I'm super grateful your here How are you though? I hope your doing well, let me know how you've been lately!

ProffesorSparkles Posted May 18 Author Share Posted May 18 Another little rant bc I'm feeling kinda shit (it's not very important) I just wanna be sm1s number 1. I think I have best friends, then I realise they all have better friends, or mutual number 1s and im just kinda there sometimes. School is the only place I see friends. People rarely invite me out and I've given up trying bc everyone's always "busy" and then i give up tryna invite people out. No one checks up on me. I always ask my friends abt how they are, they're home life, etc. I don't get the same treatment from me friends tho. Just kinda feel like getting my exams done with and lying in bed for the rest of the summer listening to mitski 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A, there's just not a lot to do around here. I live ina crap little village and it's a couple primary schools, a supermarket, and an over priced coffee shop basically. B, I just find talking to new ppl difficult. It's a lot better then it used to be, bc I went to therapy and stuff and I've been working on it but it's still hard Yeah ik. I'm just waiting to "find my tribe" ig haha I've been trying to look for stuff like animal shelter where I can volunteer, but not alot of them will take ppl my age, for insurance and what not Awww tysm I've been listening to a bunch of her songs haha, mainly a first love/late spring and all American girl are my fav atm.
