"I want to fucking kill myself!" I scream.
It's been a long day, a long week or month or even year I suppose, and the homework I'm trying to do is just a bit too difficult for me. It's just some stupid homework. It's a stupid thing to threaten suicide over but I just did. I just want you to think about what must have been happening recently and I know you'll think that I'm like super depressed or experienced some major trauma recently but I haven't. You see, I value myself with my grades, my work. If I don't do well then not only do I see my work with an F written on but I see myself and my life with an F stamped on. Now you probably think that I was some gifted child who got good grades easily and is now burnt out but I never did get good grades easily and yet here I am, massively burnt out. So for my whole life I've seen myself as a failure and valued my life as worthless.
