My mind went completely blank and the only thing I could think was “I’m stupid, I’m stupid, I’m stupid”. These words just kept echoing in my head.
And then, after taking a walk for 15 minutes on the way home, I instantly solved the question I was struggling on.
On the last midterm I literally got the highest score in the entire fucking class, and now I just bombed this one.
My mental health in the last couple of days has been at one of its lowest points in a long, long time. In the last 2 nights I got 8 hours of sleep total. I am working with therapist/psychiatrist but even then, the last couple of days just sucked(Don’t want to get into it with this post, but just know that I have very severe BDD/anxiety/depression that relapsed). And now I have to deal with this too.

Hey you’re okay! It happens to the best of us, and it always happens at the worst times too!
I blanked during a Calculus review because of my period; it started an hour before class and wiped my entire memory on everything, including stuff I was pretty good at! The same thing happened DURING a chemistry exam! I was just looking at the questions and felt all of my knowledge just fade away. I didn’t exactly pass that exam as I remember.
You’re not stupid, I promise. No matter what your mind tells you, you’re not stupid.
