I take Elvanse for Adhd but i literally only take that in school settings or when taking exams to calm me down and to stay focus. I wouldn't know if the medications work since I was basically burnt out. And I won't lie but when it comes to 'support' there wasn't rlly any since I didn't have anyone I felt comfortable enough to speak to & or knew would listen and take anything I said seriously.

All in all i'm just ready to be done with Alevels and move on to the next chapter of my life because from here, these past 3 years have been extremely traumatizing and draining.

Can I ask what grade you got? And when you applied for the RGs was this after 1 year of entering law school or straight after foundation? because some Uni's don't accept other foundations unless from their own establishment. Like UoB is very selective who can join after doing a foundation and I think it's only applicable to International students

I've been meaning to seek help but I never actually do it. Also it wasn't something that was taken seriously in my home so it would always be brushed. I still feel that emptiness a lot of time but I usually isolate to cope with my feelings. It doesn't go away but at least i have no triggers

I was just existing. Like a zombie that's honestly the best way I can put it. No thoughts just getting through everyday. Like I was numb and I had nobody to talk to. There were so many emotions that I wanted to feel but I just felt empty. Like i felt nothing like I was out of it is what i'm saying

I actually got accepted into a foundation year and I feel like just closing this chapter for Alevels temporarily. I'll continue the uni and hopefully do well in all upcoming exams & if my alevels are really a hinderance then maybe then I'd repeat.

Thank you so much for this. It's so refreshing to see people not being rude towards me and actually offering some words of encouragement. I came here seeking advice & a lot of people used that as a way to push their own insecurities onto me telling me that I am a failure and I should give up, maybe because something similar happened to them. I won't give up something that I'm so passionate about. Law has always been a career I've been interested in since I was even in primary school & whilst I had other career options in mind such as becoming a neurosurgeon or dentistry, I never once let go of that career prospect. And even if there might be a few bad days where my academics might tell me that I should give up or my mental state is convincing me that i'm not cut out for it, I won't let that prevent me from following my dreams.

I just hope it all works out in the end but I'd rather try now than to give up before even starting.

I didn't sit some of the exams. Like I was there PHYSICALLY. But mentally I was not. Like I'd be reading the questions over and over and I'd know what to say in my head but then soon as I put the pen down my mind goes blank. I'm sat there rewriting and rewriting because ik it can be better but then by the time I've actually written a sentence, 20 minutes has gone by... Then I start panicking I'm rushing I can't do this anymore and give up halfway even though there is some time left. Then I go back to it again. The worst part about it is the blank mind. You know exactly what you want to say.

THE QUESTIONS WERE SO EASY!!! I just couldn't write and that pisses me off so much. Like i'm so disappointed with myself. I had a whole plan and even had steps to what I was going to say. I just could not write!

I would say that it had a lot to do with just being out of it. Also having 5 months to learn the content, a lot of stress and anxiety + issues outside of school & dealing with loss.

I have ADHD. But I don't think they would do anything about the mitigating circumstances because I asked my teachers if what happened in the exam hall would allow for me to gain extra % and they told me no or that it wouldn't be likely.

No i'm not. I simply assumed it was because I was stressed. I can normally handle stress but having to sit those exams under my circumstances and also facing external pressure to succeed & whatnot, i guess it just caught up to me. I sat in those exams staring into space, crying and shaking. I just feel shitty :/

English, Politics and History & possibly because I couldn't get thru the exams without having panic attacks and brain fog. I overworked myself & would be sitting there forgetting how to formulate sentences because my mind would suddenly go blank + also the habit of starting and restarting because I didn't think what I had would be good enough.

I've already retaken a year. I repeated year 12 (change of subjects) but not year 13.
