Hi, I wanted to explain what I’ve been feeling lately:
I’m feeling extremely overwhelmed. I have school and weekend tuition for math, and it’s becoming too much. I barely get time to do my own self-study or even complete my school homework. I’m constantly rushing, and it feels like no one around me really understands how stressed I am.
I feel mentally exhausted all the time. My brain feels foggy—I can’t focus in class or tuition. Even when I try, it’s like nothing sticks. Sometimes my tutor says things like, “I already explained this,” or “you need counselling,” and that just makes me feel worse, like I’m failing. I start questioning what’s wrong with me.
I also feel completely alone. I tried talking to my mom about my stress, but she laughed it off. My dad called me “hopeless.” I don’t feel seen or heard. It’s like I’m surrounded by people but still feel completely invisible.
I think I might be depressed. I wake up feeling tired. I feel numb, emotionally drained, and hopeless. Sometimes I think, “I’m done,” not because I want to hurt myself—but because I don’t know how to keep going like this. I feel like I’m trying so hard, but nothing is getting better.
I’ve been getting low marks, and it really affects me. It makes me feel worthless—like I’m not good enough, even though I’m trying my best. I hate disappointing others, but I hate feeling like I’m failing myself even more.
And I’m scared. Scared of teachers telling my parents. Scared of judgment. Scared I won’t be able to get out of this loop. I just want someone to understand me without making me feel worse.
That’s why I’m here. Because I want help. Because I don’t want to feel this way anymore.
