Boy_Blue Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 If I feel like giving up on life half the time how am I supposed to motivate myself to study for these exams. There is so much content to cover and as usual I have left it too late. See I always did really well in exams previously as I am clever enough (but no energy or telepathic capacity to absorb the information without actually reading it!!). The catch is that I need to be interested in it in the first place. My company has paid over 30k for this course and If I fail I am all but finished. Look at me posting here when I should be getting on with it. I am such an idiot.O well will try to get stuck in. look I even spelt energy wrong. What a Muppet!!

daisy duck Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hiya..Its a lot of pressure that you are under with everything else going on and it would get to anyone.You are smart and im sure you are capable of passing its just the way that you feel right now.Take half hour and just sit and calm yourself...make sure you drink lots of water and eat regulary otherwise it will effect your concentration.You can only do your best and i know that you will pass.XXXXXXXXX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roses Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Blue babe, is good advice from Daisy-girl. Take 5 and drink plenty of water. You can only do your best and that is all. I'm sure you'll be fine, just nerves and panicking. I get it a lot cos I'm a perfectionist (shh don't tell anyone), and it's hard trying to live up to your own expectations but I'm sure you've done loads of work just give yourself a break. Am here if you need to talk. xxxxxxxxxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy_Blue Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Would you look at my two bestest best forum friends coming straight in with support. xI will just do my best and hope that it is ok. If I fail then I can always repeat My god there are wheelie bins flying around in the air as we are in the middle of a storm and my window is howling as I am trying to study. Maybe the university will blow down and the exam might be cancelled.If only.......Thanks again girls. You give me better support than a wonder bra! Hopefully after the diet I wont need one!

Rael Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 ugh exams are the worst things, even when i know i can do something (i do have a brain in here somewhere) just the stress of it seems to make every word go in and fly straight back out again. take plenty of breaks and as daisy said drink plenty of water and eat regularly. i found that writing key parts out over and over again helped, the repetition kinda stuck it into my brain and the rest of it followed once i had remembered that, try to have trigger words that set off remembering the rest.dont panic about how much the company has paid etc you can only do what you can. i wish you the best of luck, you got any kind of treat planned for when they over and done with? i always liked to have a reward for getting through them planned for myself, made it a little easier to put up with studying for them.xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least people on this forum know how to be supportive. I am doing the writing key parts thing and it is helping a bit with the study.I don't know the meaning of the word treat at the mo. No nice food, No time, No Drink, No love (except my daughter), No friends (because they only drink), No Life. Don't mind me I am going on a complete downer as I just had a fight with my wife and it just feels like the last straw. I just don't know why I bother. Might as well tell everyone to fuck off and go on the dole. I am always the one that has to hold everything together. I took time out of study to go down and cook everyone dinner and all I got was moaning and grief and selfish behaviour. I am sick of making excuses for her. She treats me like crap and I am stuck lonely and cant leave because I love my daughter too much and have a baby on the way. She knows I try and she will not make any effort with me. I am so pissed off I feel like crying....Sorry for the rant. Everything is just getting on top of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AveMaria Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Sorry things aren't going well. It sounds like you have a lot going on. When I feel overwhelmed it usually helps if I focus on one thing at a time. Its not the best advice, but I do find that I usually get a lot more done since I don't get stressed by all the other things as I pretend they dont exist, lol. Good luck with your test and with your relationship. Best wishes and I hope it helped to write some of your frustrations down. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roses Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Just replied to your pm Blue. People with a high IQ often suffer with short attention spans. Me and hubbie walk out of ilms, switch TV off half way through, chuck books down - it's an affliction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 sorry things not been going too well, cant fix the wife im afraid (though i know how it feels) but there are treat things you can do that dont involve what you said. having a relaxing bath, manicure (joking), reading a favourite book, buying something nice, sometimes just having time to yourself to do something you enjoy - reading, writing, listening to or writing music, drawing can be a treat. you deserve to have something that makes you feel good, even if only a little.xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just being a moan bag due to the pressure. Although my wife can be a head wreck at the best of times I am used to it and should know better than to be complaining about it.

Boy_Blue Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Thanks for the support. I just think it will be the 1st time in my life I failed an exam and it was my own lazy fault as its not that hard. Just loads of content and I should have started sooner. Will let you know how I get on. By the way I ate chocolate biscuits and crisps today and I am disgusted in myself. I was doing so well but there is a seriously dark cloud hovering above me and I am feeling very volatile and trapped and depressed. I feel like a slave to a toxic society (stupid and irrational I know). I don't know how long I can keep up this lie of an existence.Sorry for moaning and thanks again for your support and friendship. I don't deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
