@S3T_UR_H34RT_ABLAZ3 Arigatō! And yeah, I think the real problem for me isn’t the schoolwork itself—it’s that I’m way too hard on myself. I always feel like I have to do the absolute best no matter what, and if I don’t, I end up beating myself up about it mentally.
I know that probably isn’t very healthy, but I’m honestly the definition of a perfectionist. It’s a habit I’m trying to break because I can be really critical of myself sometimes, and I know that’s not great for my mental health.
Still, thank you for the compliment. I really appreciate it. And I hope you do well in school, too! School can be really emotionally draining sometimes, so I wish you the best with it as well. Not to mention that I also have severe ADHD, which makes school a lot harder for me than it already is. Sometimes it honestly feels like a curse because I struggle so much with focusing, and that makes it really difficult to get my work done.
There are days when I want to focus and do everything right, but my brain just won’t cooperate, and it can be really frustrating. On top of that, I sometimes get yelled at by teachers because they think I’m not trying, when in reality I really am.
I know some people might not understand what that’s like, but ADHD can make school feel overwhelming sometimes. I’m still trying my best, though, and I’m working on finding better ways to handle it.
