I feel so overwhelmed with school and thinking about the future. What can I do?
-
Everything is very stressful at the moment. My school finishes for summer soon, but I can't help feeling that it won't be much of a holiday with all the things I have to worry about. I'm just finishing my AS year of 6th Form. I want to take a gap year after my final year before going to university in 2013, but as I'm applying to go abroad with a gap year volunteering project for the whole year, I need to start sorting things out with visiting and applying very soon. I find this very overwhelming because applying to university is such an important process and I feel as though I'm not intelligent enough to study maths like I want to, because I don't think I've done particularly well in my exams despite being persistently top of my class and generally knowing what I'm doing. I don't feel at all as though I'm prepared, especially since my boyfriend is so ridiculously intelligent and is all involved in getting ready and doing all kinds of things to improve his chances of getting into Cambridge, whereas I have no clear idea of where I want to go or how. Having said this, he is very supportive, and is always a wonderful shoulder to cry on, so I can't resent him for being good at things. Applying to the gap year project is also very stressful for me because it's such a final decision to make to go away for a year, and I don't know if they'll think I'm suitable, or even if I *am* suitable. There's also a lot of pressure to get it done as fast as possible because their selection events are filling up so fast, but time seems to be passing me by so quickly. My life has never gone by so quickly as it has this past year, and I just feel so helpless to control anything at the moment. At the beginning of this school year I thought I'd finally found my way out my previous year of depression and constant paranoia, but now I find myself sinking lower and lower into this awful heap of things that I need to do and consider, and seeming unable to do anything about it. I've been feeling terrible recently and I'm sick a lot, and I don't know if it could be a result of this stress. I just need to get everything under control, but it seems more and more like an impossible task as every day goes by. What should I do?

First of all WOW! Sounds like you are a very good student. My sister is going through similar things and let me tell you this. You are definitely capable of going anywhere or being anything you want to be! It's going to be stressful so maybe you need to treat yourself to a few nights out. Journaling really helps too. I also feel that even just talking to God relieves so much stress. You can do anything in his name. Just remember what your overall goal is and why you want it. :D Take time off when you can and never give up. :D:D
