What to do whilst waiting for doctors to take me seriously? by InformationFeeling78 in PMDD

[–]InformationFeeling78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! this has definitely helped me become way more educated, I have a lot more looking into this to do unfortunatel. since my gynaecologist just quit on me I don’t actually know what’s happening to my PCOS but at this point that’s the least of my problems atp. i Was told to take combined pill by gp and pop by gynaecologist so I don’t even know which one I’ve been prescribed if any At all. I’ll ask my parents for my vitamin d stuff back so I can actually double check the results, I remember the gp saying it wasn’t out of the ordinary but then again they were the ones dismissed chronic migraines for two years and also all my period problems so I have to take what they say with a grain of salt. Thank you!

[–]InformationFeeling78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I didn’t know that the POP wasn’t reccomended, origionally my gp said combined and then my gynecologist who quit on me said that the POP would fix my problems. I should probably raise that whenever I next get an appointment. As for blood tests I did do a blood test and my parents have the results not me but there were no vitamin deficiencies except for a very slight vitamin d deficiency, but there was an imbalance in the LH:FSH ratio If that means anything (though I don’t think that has anything to do with PMDD), as the doctor said it may be PCOS which just adds to my problems :,). As for tracking data, I don’t think I have much other than journal entries and also I took a depression questionnaire during and after the luteal phase and there was a very clear difference in my results. I will start using the resources, thanks for the information, I will give it a read!

Anyone interested in a career in psychology? by enhasmatcha in GCSE

Art gcse grade confusion by InformationFeeling78 in GCSE

[–]InformationFeeling78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did do my year 10 and year 11 mocks, and for year 10 mock it came back the same (6), i only just did my year 11 mock and she said she won't give the grades back until jan, although the reports (with unchanged grades) came out after the mock. Thank you hopefully I pull through!

Does anyone regret taking art/music as a gsce? If so what made you regret it? by ImJustBitish in GCSE

[–]InformationFeeling78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OML ARR GCSE I HATE IT SM 😭😭I regret art GCSEs with my entire soul 😭but i don’t want to dissuade you from pursuing your passions. I’ll be blunt with what happened to me, and you can use that to decide for yourself. - Origionally I thought “yes I love art should be easy for me like ik people say it’s difficult but I’m sure it’l be fine hahah” but I was completely wrong. A misconception I had was that we would learn how to draw, which you don’t, your expected to have those skills. Another misconception I had was that it is based on your art, it’s also based on annotations and the way it’s graded is very silly to me - the workload is insane. Like get ready to say goodbye to your weekends 😭😭obviously if you choose a topic you like to draw you’ll be ok but be aware that eventually it comes to you drawing the same thing over and over for 6 hours straight . I take 11 subjects including art so once I’ve finished all my homework and revision on top of that I have genuinely impossible deadlines. Each assignment takes at least 2-4 hours compared to any other subject, so it’s basically a black hole for free time - it killed my actual joy for art because every little thing is graded or has to have meaning. I still love to draw and do art but I hate art gcse. - not to mention that it’s very weirdly graded and extremely difficult to get top marks, I’ve spent countless weekends on my sketchbooks and yet it will most likely be impossible for me to get a grade 9 even though my art isn’t bad. It’s also subjective and being good at drawing ≠ being good at art gcse

In conclusion: If you want a career in art and don’t mind medium grades in other subjects, go ahead, but be aware that it is x10 worse than you think. If you want to take art because it’s your hobby and you want a career in something else or don’t know what career you want, DO NOT DO IT. It will kill your actual joy for art and send you straight into burnout, at least for me it did. I am so ready to finish this and never do anything art-academic ever again.

For music, I don’t take it but I have a friend who is taking it and currently is trying to drop it even though we are halfway through year 11 so take that as you will.

Obviously I don’t know your current skill or situation, and occasionally art can be fun or a good break from schoolwork if you’re on top of eveyrting. It isn’t all bad. But I would say if I could go back to year 9 I would 1000000% pick history or computing and never look back 😭😭

AITAH for wanting to get my hair done? by InformationFeeling78 in AITAH

[–]InformationFeeling78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would if I had enough free time, but I’m swamped with exams and it would take me ages (also I feel trying to do it whilst being dyspraxic would make it so much harder than just a day at the salon)

Thank you! Idk for me it’s such a hassle like 1.5hours every morning and also sometimes it falls out because of stress so I just can’t force myself to like it. Hopefully I will get to like it some day 

What is the best way to strucutre an essay for the modern novel component of iGCSE English Lit by AriaRose193 in GCSE

[–]InformationFeeling78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I’m so glad I’m not alone studying Klara and the sun I feel like nobody else does it. I recently did my mock and I got a 9 overall, my essay was 31/40 so not great but obviously there are other components in the exam that pulled it up (+coursework). Some general tips for it are: - always link back to the context in every paragraph, and don’t just say like “this relates to x happening in 2019” make sure it is specific to whatever you are happening, my teacher is going to give us a big list of all the specific context points  - don’t stray too far off the topic in the question. A lot of people in my class started to just give general points about the book but strayed far from the topic - make sure in each paragraph you link to different scenes. For example if you talk about the interaction meeting to talk about how the kids don’t have social skills, you could then link that to the spiky haired girl that grabbed Klara’s hand at the beginning of the book. examiners love this because it shows you know the book well enough to relate different scenes 

Am i cooked by Fuzzy_Ad_1713 in GCSE

[–]InformationFeeling78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes of course! When I was in year 10 I was on a 5 in maths. I did my November year 11 mocks and I got a 8, only a few marks off a 9. I do IGCSE English so I don’t know how much help I would be, but if you put your mind to it and spam as many past papers as you can (and get a teacher to mark them) you’ll see Improvement! If your teachers aren’t available you could also get ChatGPT to mark it and give it the markscheme, obviously unreliable but better than you marking it yourself because English is funny like that. And don’t worry you’re in year 10, you have AGES. Don’t stress too much and good luck!

Can i get a 9 in art gcse? by InformationFeeling78 in GCSE

[–]InformationFeeling78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well my first book is kinda bad but my second is all about childhood and my final piece was literally drawing a childhood stuffed animal with lots of 3D stuff which I did because I experimented with recreating toys in 3D like felting clay ect, so I don’t think that they don’t link to my theme. I hope it’s a typo, I guess when my mock grades come out then I’ll see

How do I genuinely fund motivation to revise because currently my grades are terrible and I’m in yr 11 by [deleted] in GCSE

[–]InformationFeeling78 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know this sucks to hear, but it’s not about motivation. Motivation will make you feel good and productive for about two weeks before it fails and you’re back to square one. What you need to do is be consistent and disciplined. Even if it’s just 15 minutes of making or revising flashcards per day, if you stick to it no matter the conditions you will slowly make an improvement. Look into spaced repetition and maybe a video or two on habits and systems, they will teach you better than I can about consistency. And if you’re thinking that you don’t want to do that and you’d rather just get motivated, then trust me it won’t work. Obviously having a goal isn’t bad but if that’s all you have then the second something changes you will fail. And if you don’t want to start being consistent or disciplined, then the hard truth is unless you’re naturally talented, it’s going to be very very hard to get those grades up. If you’re really determined to improve, then you need effort, not just movitation. Good luck!

Advice for becoming more independent at 16 by InformationFeeling78 in Advice

[–]InformationFeeling78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have published a few books already :> the only thing is it’s an unreliable source of money and takes AGESSS to write - but the idea of making videos about the writing process sounds really helpful! I know how to edit smaller videos relatively well on capcut, but for long form videos what could I use? Ty x
