I'm currently completing my final year of high school. I have been studying and working hard for over 6 month now and I the pressure of doing well and keeping up the work has been growing since the beginning. I never go out anywhere because I feel like that would be time wasted. I also don't have a job even though I have been offered work, I decline because I feel like I don't have time, even though I would love to make some money and gain independence. I'm starting to feel like it's not worth the struggle but at the same time there's no way I can stop the stress. This makes me even more anxious because I am stuck in a loop where every week is the same thing over and over again with no escape. I can never focus on anything other than school work anymore and it has also made me selfish because there is so much emphasis on how you will do in this next exam or how you can succeed. There is so much anxiety and pain but I can't make it stop.
