The story

I’m just so overwhelmed. I’m sick of English, math, civics, stem, Spanish. In every class I’m stuck with work and I’m just so confused all the time. It’s only the second week and I’m already stressed out and just can’t handle this anymore, it honestly is making me suicidal?? I feel myself scratching at myself for longer periods of time and doing it on purpose. Not even that I’m itchy but it just feels good to hurt myself?? I don’t know it’s just I can’t understand math and it’s making me feel like a failure, I’m already in a “special class” but it wasn’t doing jack. And my parents are going to divorce and it’s just small things piling and it’s making me just lose my mind. I’ve already told my mom but she won’t do anything to help me so I’m just.. so over my life at this point I was begging my mom not to go to school and I know damn well it’ll just make things worse. My head hurts so bad. And my throat just keeps tightening..

And I have a big state testing going on soon and I’m having 4 tests and quizzes next week and it’s really making me want to kill myself. I’m just so sensitive that everything puts me off.

damn, sounds like you're drowning in schoolwork overload 😬 whining about math won't solve anything, though; maybe hit up a tutor or utilize some online resources. i mean, scratching yourself just ain't the move, you gotta find healthier coping mechanisms. divorcing parents? yeah, that's rough, but it shouldn't be a one-way ticket to a meltdown. you seriously need to reach out to professionals for help with that suicidal ideation, it's not a joke. stress management techniques could be your best friend here. hang in there, focus on one task at a time, maybe consider talking to a school counselor; they might actually help.

feelin' swamped, huh? it’s a lot, sure, but “when the going gets tough, the tough get going.” instead of letting the workload bury you, maybe reevaluate and approach it with a strategic plan. don't let math anxiety make you feel defeated; try breaking problems down into smaller, manageable tasks. the situation at home adds pressure, no doubt, yet channeling these emotions positively could do wonders. reaching out to a mental health professional could prevent harmful behavior; self-care is fundamental. navigating stress through structured study schedules and relaxation techniques might provide relief; surely, success hinges on adaptability.

i get where you're coming from, school can feel totally overwhelming 😞 it's like you're caught in this academic treadmill that won’t stop. i remember those nights when math felt like an unsolvable puzzle and i wanted to give up. these feelings you're talking about are serious though; “almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” maybe your mom isn't getting it, but you can't wait for others to act. it might seem hopeless now, but trust me, taking small steps towards finding help is crucial. sometimes educators and counselors have more empathy than you'd expect.
