Hey there, 9Volt.

I’m so sorry you’re feeling so down right now. It’s important to remember that bad days are just a part of the recovery process... just as good days are! Unfortunately, bad days are just all part of the deal – but don’t stress, they DO go away eventually! What you need to do right now is just be EXTRA strong and just stick it out through those bad days. I know it’s hard, 9Volt... but like I said, it’s (unfortunately) all part of the process.

About those exams: I know it feels very depressing to fail something... seriously, I do!!! I failed my first math test this year. And boy did that get me down! Okay, I know that a test isn’t as big a deal as an exam, but that doesn’t mean that it won’t get easier as time goes by. Give yourself a break, 9Volt, you’ve had a lot to deal with lately. An exam that you didn’t pass isn’t the end of the world. Maybe it would be a good idea to take some time out before you try the exam again? I, for one, was told to take the rest of this year off school! And that was in about April, and the school year here doesn’t end until sometime in November! Of course, I couldn’t let myself do that – just my stubborn nature I guess... and the fear of never being able to catch up – but a shorter break probably would have been a good idea! Please give yourself some time out and quit worrying about this past exam. It’s been and it’s gone. Okay, so you didn’t get the result you were after this time, but that’s life sometimes. Sometimes you have to try a few times to get the result you were after – but like I said, you had a lot to deal with while preparing for these exams. Work on the eating disorder first, THEN go for the exam again!

Good luck!
