I dont know what to do · 7:04pm Jun 15th, 2014
right for those of you who don't know last year i fell ill with something called chronic fatigue and due to this i missed a lot of school(a little over half a year) and this year i promised myself that i would do better and that i would make up for last year and well ive once again fucked up(surprise surprise i fucked up once again) and im now falling behind on nearly all my subjects cause i fell ill on the week most of them were due and im now late in them ive got no fucking clue on what to do it doesn't help that im easily distracted and that i easily forget things(hell it took me thirty minutes just to start writing this) so out f my measly 20 followers is anyone able to help me hell just someone to talk to would be nice
i just dont know what went wrong or what i did to deserve this.
*hugs tightly* I'm so sorry... *hugs tighter* I guess you could ask your teachers for extra homework and books in order to help you study for anything you've missed. Other than that, I have no clue how to help you, sorry...
2208852 that's thing homework and the like is causing me the stress which leads to me trying to distract myself which ;leads to me forgetting about said work and then they give me more and the cycle just keeps continuing
You should talk to a counselor or your teachers. If you are chronically sick, that's a health issue the administration needs to work with. I can't see any other way then that.
Have you gone to a doctor? A doctor note can help them work with you on it. Or have your parents talk to them. You've got to find a way to break the cycle.
2209442 well see the thing is im sought of in this 'recovery' stage of it in other words i've got some of the symptoms for example lower stamina i get exhausted quicker and i have an out of whack sleep cycle which makes it even harder on my over active brain to concentrate on things since I'm in more of a lucid state when im tired and the also i just find it hard to confide in others that are meant to help others i dont know why it's just hard for me which leads to me having a slightly secretive personality which mostly concerns any problems i have i tend to try and keep to myself i dont know why i do this it's just something ive always done really the only people i confide to are my poppy(grandfather) and nanny(grandmother) and even then they end up telling mymother and father

You still need to talk to the school about it. The school needs to know that it's a health problem and not you simply not doing your work. You could schedule a meeting with your parents with you if you don't feel confident enough to go it alone. Or your grandparents.
If you really feel too shy to say something, maybe email your teacher or type out your problem then give it to the counselor. It's just really concerning to me that your health is messing with your schooling. I had to leave for a month from school(missing the big midterm tests) for surgery. Afterwards, I had a different PE class and the teachers made sure to accommodate me if I needed help to catch up.
It was the same way with my college when I had to go back in for surgery. I even had a PIC line. Schools are very nice to you if it has to do with health cause that's out of your control. Even in the recovery stage they will help you as you need it.
2209694 i know i know all this well except for the surgery part for you i had it all happen to me last year i had the school make it so that i would still pass pe even though i literally could not do it for the entire year it's just i have no idea i just hate the feeling of having to burden others with what i see as my problems and it frustrates me cause i try and tell my parents and i try nd tell teachers and i try to go to the counselor i just cant and i have no idea why

I can understand that. Some things are just hard for some reason. Talk to who ever is easiest and let them do the heavy lifting part of talking to the school.
Health matters are out of your control, I know that well. And you can't be a burden when you're still working as much you can. If they helped you before then it'll be even easier to have them help again. Cause now they know how to help.
I hope I'm being of some help to you. I can't do much more from my end.
2209749 well see now after looking over this convo i feel im burdening you and any others who've tried to help me with this and i feel bad about cause i feel like im wasting your time well yea as you can probably tell i dont like being a burden
2209827
Omg, you are not a burden. I was more worried my advice wasn't that good or would work for you. You can complain all you want. We don't care. We want to hear what's happening. Get back to me on what happens in the next few days. Tell me if you managed to work something out with school.
2210026 right
2213314
2210026 right uh... umm.... i would like to thank both of you for the advice in this
2213413
You're welcome! Don't forget to tell us what happens.

2213314 al-right so ive already made some forced progress as the counsler came to me today as she had apparently noticed my current position in school work and ended up organising a appointment for me to meet her today which ive already done and we ended up discussing my current work load and how im doing with all the work and i said to her that i am currently
a. leaving media as i just cant keep up with what is need for the prac work
b. i am currently failing history as im late on work and the like
c.am struggling to keep up with in general
and to be honest it's more just the fact that im stressing because at the moment the school is giving us practically 2 assignments per term for nearly all subjects and that's really frustrating since i have a fairly short concentration and so i try and focus on all my work and o end up swapping rapidly between each assignment which causes me to get little to no work done at all this cause me to get frustrated. due to my concentration problem i have a lot of thoughts racing around my head which causes me to either forget things or just makes me lose more concentration this causes me to worry and these constant racing thoughts and worry make it hard for me to sleep which means i lose more concentration and if the class is slow or boring i end up sleeping through it.(i literally realized all this today while talking to the counsler)

That's good to know. It's good you met up with the counselor and realized these things. You can start to work on getting better now that you have a better idea of what's wrong. What did the counselor say they might do to help?
2216256 their going to talk to my teachers to see if they can get more time for my history and if they can lessen the workload for media since ill be leaving at the end of the term their also going to be helping me get things organized and the like they've also told me to do what i do to calm down whenever i can if i need to
