My mother has been seriously ill and I spent this afternoon looking after her. I have exams comming up soon. And I'm having a fair amount of trouble with a 'friend' at the moment. I'm also getting down about not having a guy - its been over a year since I've been with anyone and I haven't kissed a guy in over a year and a half.Its just the combination of all of this is somewhat overwhelming. And I'm also really tired.Any thoughts on what I can do? Reply to this Question |

Yikes, doesn't it seem like things all just happen at one time? I'd contact your teacher, tell them that you are sick and endanger of losing your voice, if you give them some notice they might be more understanding and together hopefully you can figure something out, even if it means doing it early before it happens or coming up with some accommodations.Of course get plenty of fluids and rest. Yes you have exams, but don't stay up till the wee hours of the night, studying it won't help and you'll just end up with a mushy head. Maybe set up a study schedule, for yourself if you prefer group study get your group together and arrange times, if you are the independent sort find yourself a quiet little nook and study.I am sorry to hear about your mom my own mom had some health problems for a while and I know that's hard. I think talking to someone is great, like a friend that you can sort of vent at, I find writing helps me, but any form of creative expression that you prefer. My husband watches comedies, ya know nothing that makes you think too hard but sort of lightens things up. As for the friend is it a real pressing matter? Is it something do wait for until exams are over when both of you aren't so frayed.And for the love life, you know everyone goes through that, I do but its not my love life, its my lack of friends I literally only talk to my mom and husband and my baby who doesn't yet talk back so I get lonely for friends sometimes. When I do what works for me, is to do something meaningful, that makes me feel productive and good about myself. To basically keep living and really to take time away from the computer and telly if you have it (they don't help at all!), exercising in your case maybe very light stretches. Eating well, little things like that.
