Well, I started working out, and I need to devote more time into work, and getting into school.
I communicated more to my coworkers and we had a couple shots (my first drinking experience) during our staff xmas dinner. That's something, I guess for an introvert.

Stopped trying to multitask so much

So, if you've been lurking in the 'What made you cry today?' thread lately, you'd know the whole situation I'm in. For those that don't know, I'll get my post for you.
Yesterday, I spoke to my form tutor about what happened with my Biology test and that I was pretty upset about it.
She told me not to worry about it, and she e-mailed my Biology teacher (not the cover teacher who I hated) that I was upset about the mark and that we'd had a conversation. She also told me not to think about the exam, and to think about how good I did in PE instead (she's my PE teacher as well).
Later that day, I spoke to the teacher I usually speak to in these situations, and she said I did a good thing for myself by talking to my form teacher about it. She gave me similar advice.
So, it's all good right now.
My situation

It's time to have a little mope.
Okay, a big mope.
So, on Tuesday, I had a science test (Biology - my weak point). I panicked a lot, as you can tell if you read my posts in the "What did you do to better yourself" thread. I didn't answer many questions, and got instantly worried about my overall result.
I got my paper back, and I got an F+ mark. WAY lower than I would've wanted, and also my second F grade in a row in an end of unit test. (Note this is at GCSE level). I AM ABSOLUTELY AND UTTERLY DEVASTATED.
Plus we had a horrible supply teacher, which made things a LOT worse (actually one of the few times where I actually HATED a teacher)
I just checked on a service my school uses where I can check my levels, reward points, ect.
Due to my test level, my overall grade has dropped to an E.
AND MY PARENTS WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THAT OVERALL GRADE.
I need help. I am letting test grades decide what I'm worth, and beating myself up over it. I'm so close to giving up completely and losing my mind. If I fail the maths upcoming maths test (WHICH IS ON MY BIRTHDAY, EVEN WORSE), I'm lost.
I JUST NEED SO MUCH HELP. I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE.

I allways better myself everyday, by sleeping. It is a fast "Reset" for my gaming reflexes and stuff.. :'3 sleeping is nice.
I've searched help for the problems I have, I didn't want to seek for help until the first thoughts of "what am I worth" came up. It's not been too long but having someone to talk to really helps. Won't go into detail on what exactly are my problems

I'm 15 and dealing with Depression and yes, Overthinking. Even though i'm young, i tend to overthink "Life" things. Such as i will never have a career, I'm not good at anything, i'm better off not being here. Recently, i have been trying to pick myself up. I will be concentrating more on my school work. My aspirations are Voice Acting and Game Development.
Glad you're doing better for your self JAKACHAN. Good luck in the future!

Hey man, it's really impressive that you already have goals and what you want to become in the future (Voice Acting, that's cool as fuck!). That's a big driving force for everything you do in life, so make sure never to let go of those goals!Ryukaii wrote:

You might want to read "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle to solve your overthinking problems
It's a bit spiritual but a huge help for everyone, that I know of, who read it. Also, Feeling Good The New Mood Therapy by David Burns has helped a lot of people out of depression. I know it's in no way easy to deal with depression and it's really not cool that you have to deal with it, so stay strong a'ight? Good luck bro, you're still young so don't forget living the way you want it and always, always improving on yourself (ofc also do that when you get older!
)PS: If you want the pdf of those books send me a pm.
Hey dude. Yeah, Voice Acting and Game Development have always been a passion of mine. I can do Anime/Videogame voice impressions, and i am even in a fandub of Angel Beats coming out very soon ^_^. I plan to go public with voice acting by putting it in my Indie RPG i shall be working on.Magicphoenix wrote:

Thanks a lot for the recommendations! Will definitely check them out. ^_^
After rough day, and losing my tablet area.. I managed to recover myself and get some nice fc's :3 and few top #50's ^-^ Happy !
I think you're pretty well off and doing good at the moment. Depression just complicates life so much, and I personally have severe depression (and insomnia and other things that I found out after like autism) to the point where I wasn't attending much school, and then I got demitted last March. You have goals. That's the most important thing. I thought that myself, that I'll never get anywhere in life. Yet, that's what I'm scared of.Ryukaii wrote:

Don't give up, and stay strong. Don't quit schooling, it'll get you somewhere. Focus on yourself and do what makes you happy. Depression isn't something you can really get rid of, you can only minimize it. You can never say you're not good at anything. Always keep learning, and putting the effort in what you like to do, and always keep improving.
I'm 18 years, turning 19 this April. I would've been a high school graduate last summer but, well you know what I said before. I've been trying to get active, more fit, and most importantly trying to get somewhere in life. I've been applying to college, planning to take industrial design and woodshop and constantly checking up with them to see my status. I currently work at a restaurant as a senior apprentice for their sushi bar. I hope to open a Japanese restaurant myself someday. I've had issues with my girlfriend, and I have been taking the time to kind of reflect on what kind of person I am, and what I can do to improve my personality and behaviours.
idkfa lolz
i started playing osu because of league (huehahe)
and quit playing league because of osu
best decision ever
oh yeah and for some reason i've overcome the schizophrenic episodes i've had for a couple months (probably from a bad lsd trip i've had), which is really nice and comforting
and if things work out fine i'll be going back to school this summer to get a proper graduation which i screwed up before because i was being a stupid 17 year old, and that's also really cool because that whole 'cutting myself off of social things' thing is starting to get somewhat out of hand for me lately

Set some good goals for myself
I started thinking about quitting smoking.
I started getting into alcohol, and I can tell you I'm an obnoxious piece of shit under alcoholic influence.
Looking about buying new glasses. 
I recently heard some good advice, even though it wasn't really directed to me, but it inspired me.
"I just don't care. You shouldn't care either. Just do what you want without doing something stupid, Im using instinct"
this helped some how, I always over worry and i'm so anxious at times, and idk, hearing this brought some closure
with that, I hope to become stronger by not worrying and put my trust in others

Attempting to study more.
Playing less osu!
talk less, do osu! more
Not wanting to repeat my test fails, I revised HARD before my Physics test today. I asked my dad for help with revising, and I claimed a Scientific Dictionary (I'm taking Triple Science next year, hopefully) and tabbed any necessary words that I needed. I felt pretty good.
I thought I'd got a D, according to my friend's marking.
Turns out, he didn't mark correctly.
I got a B. And this is GCSE level.
So yeah. I've bettered myself a lot by doing that.

I majorly cut my smoking, used to smoke like a pack a day, but now some days don't smoke at all, some days maybe 1 or 2, feel pretty proud since been smoking for quite some time, hopefully some day soon I'll realize haven't smoked in weeks or months.
Also, played more osu!

I have a really bad case of habitual absenteeism, same anger issues, depression, and anxiety.
I don't really know why I started not going to school for like 1/2 day/s in a week or in any other week but for the past school years, I do well in school.
(Might be due to peer pressure or the mere fact that I didn't have any motivation at all.)
I'm trying to better myself with just doing things that I really love, giving myself a space or an alone time and was thinking about moving to a new school or just hang on until our Summer vacation starts.

I am extremely afraid of dark.. not really the dark but the unknown. I imagine things a lot and I always picture a man running at me and I just book it, running up the stairs. I don't know if this is helping me but I've been reading a lot of http://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep lately and for some reason, I'm coping with my fear. (for those of you who don't know, nosleep is a reddit page full of scary spooky stories)
ya, thats it
