Extreme apprehension.

I don't know why but I just cannot escape this constant feeling of apprehension with regard to school. I've had it for about to years now and I think its only getting worse... Its so bad sometimes that I just DON'T want to study for fear of failing. As if it just doesn't matter whether I study of not... So I just sleep.

This feeling is made worse by the fact that all my abtitude tests say I'm smart and everyone seems to think I'm really smart as well. They think so mainly because I give the impression I am besause of they way I speak (I'm very eloquent people say). But its not as if I'm even that smart! I got my exams back the other day and I found out I failed TWO subjects... That has NEVER happened to me before. I don't know for sure but I think my performance is only going to get worse because of this constant apprehension. Is this normal?

    you should study as it was a pleasure, not a must. maybe you feel too much empowered from the judgements of your mates and family.you don't need to show 'em how much you worth. relax! nobody is perfect and also a winner can lose sometimes.
    who cares if you failed! try it again and forget about what other people say or think of you. be yourself!

    I used to be the same way. I went to a doctor and he put me on antidepressants. Now I enjoy school and it's easier for me to complete my assignments.
