I've been feeling the same way right now, I'm taking 4 APs and this year is really important and I just feel like I'm not doing enough. This was so helpful though thank you!

[@megzcreates]

im taking the same! i think its important to step back and think about our accomplishments objectively. we’ve got this :)

I have a similar story: I put a lot of pressure on me, and I am a good student, but after facing depression and becoming more religious, I've learned to not push myself over the edge. Of course, challenge yourself, but do not go over. For that reason, I have not taken a large amount of APs, but I've done great on the ones I've done. I know the culture too. Us AP students struggle with sleep, we joke but also somewhat glorify struggling to survive class. I just hope that my words can show you, you can survive by doing a little less. I know it may seem impossible, but you got this. Try to have an hour of free time a day. Lay off the coffee. A break in between work is good. Btw, I'm pretty sure I'm in the same grade as you and have taken some similar APs, so I get it. Remember life will be ok, do your best to not be depressed.

thanks for the input! im definitely trying to learn to do less. it's hard to get out of that mentality haha

[@u.s.citizen9933]

@@megzcreates I agree. It was not so hard for me because depression really made me evaluate my position in life, but for someone not at that point (which is good) is a lot more difficult to realize they need to pump the breaks. Good for you for coming to that realization. You got this!
