First of all i want to say i really hope that your Grandads going to be okay. I feel exactly the same way and am quite relieved i found this post. I know my teachers are trying to prepare me for exams next year but they are giving us so much work. I feel overwhelmed knowing that I have to learn this stuff so that i pass but i just don’t have the motivation to do it. It takes so much energy to not get distracted and just not do my lessons. My sisters and I don’t really talk to each other at the moment because it usually ends in a fight. I know me saying it’s not your fault isn’t going to change much but it really isn’t. I’m not great at advice but here‘s a few tips I try to use:

•Try a new hobbie - e.g learning origami or meditation

•Don’t look at your lessons as the whole day but break them up- e.g think i only have to get to break then i can rest

•Keep to a routine- i know it may be hard to do even little things but your routine can be basic

•Talk to friends if you can- i obviously don’t know your friends but maybe try telling one of them how you feel. They might even feel the same way. If not, you can always use childline of other helpful websites

This is a painful time for all of us but we will all get through this together. Stay safe.

Thanks! This really helped giving me some ideas on what I can do.

My Grandad actually passed away 2 days ago, but thank you for your concern.
