Does Anxiety Affect School?

[Rue]

I am generally a good student. I had a good upbringing with ambitious and great parents and a sister for a role model. However, in the past few years, my grades have been going steadily down. Now, in my core(english+history) class, my grades are terrible. I am expected to be an A student. But I am now a B and C student. In history, if my teacher hadn't put a few zeros as empty scores, then I would be failing it. My core teacher just gives so much homework that it's so overwhelming, then I feel like I can't even do it. I try so hard not to procrastinate, but things like that just happen, and it's so frustrating. When my participation's low, it's not because I don't care or am not trying. Even though my core teacher has already promised to help me wade through the work, I still feel like I can't graduate from middle school this year. Any advice?

Try listening to this video. There are more as well that you can look up on YouTube that could help you. I am sure that after listening to this you will start to study and do better. It seems that you may be worried about not achieving your goals. Accept your core teachers offer and make a definite time with them to sit and do it. Try not to be overwhelmed. Take it one bit at a time. What you need help with, don't be afraid to ask for that help. That is what teachers are for. There are all sorts of subliminal videos that could help you. You could also try taking Ginkgo Biloba as that is absolutely a brilliant herbal remedy for memory. I did a whole difficult crossword in about ten minutes after taking a couple.

Oh... Bring in the hugs, student anxiety buddies. I absolutely how you're feeling. My best advice is to take things one at a time. When everything comes piling up and crashing against you, believe me, you'll get nothing done. DO NOT blame yourself for procrastinating. I get it. All anxiety sufferers get it. It will be okay. It's hard to listen to your logical side, and you must be thinking about how you absolutely wouldn't graduate, right? But you will be fine. You are like "um no way" right now, but it's just your anxiety talking.
Do one thing at a time, don't compare your progress to others. Take care of yourself, okay? Your mental health comes first, and when your mental health is well, you would be a lot more productive.
