Someone once asked...

“I am stuck. I am in my drop year taken for a competitive exam but it became trauma midway. The pressure, stress, fear of failing took all over my mind. It has been 3 months now and I have not picked up my books once. I am afraid to tell my parents about my situation and they think I'm doing great. I am not. I almost took my life because of this. I don't want to give that exam anymore but another thing is I am unsure about what after that exam? I am confused, A LOT. Please Help”

Someone answered with kindness...

I feel you, I went trough a simular thing when I was in uni. I could not start learning for month. I was totaly blocked. The night before my exam, i tried for hours setting myself a timer, saying I will start in 15 min until the morning of the exam. It did not work for me. It felt like there is no way out of this situation and that I must be able to do this. In the end I dropped out. I focused on getting better and it got better. Now looking back at that time I am happy that I dropped out. It would not have put me on a path a would have made me happy and deep inside I have know it. Please find someone you can talk about this, I know this is super hard and I don't know if I would have been able to follow advice like this if I was in your situtuation. If you ever think about taking your life, call a hotline that helps you. The world needs you and there is always another way even if it does not seem like this if you are in it. I wish you all the best! It is ok to be blocked and there is always another way! You are not alone!
