Stress is not helping my pregnancy hormones.
I'm majorly stressing about my final tonight. Yes I studied this weekend but probably not as much as I should have. I need to pass this test with a specific grade or I'll have to retake the class. This is not something I'm used to. I've always been a good student, to be struggling this much just to pass a class really really stresses me out.
I thought I had a wider range or cushion of what I needed to pass, but he updated our grades over the weekend and yeah, I don't. Hence the stress. I wish I hadn't checked my grade until tomorrow.
I've tried looking at all the angles, how I'll handle it if I don't pass. This usually helps calm me down, having a plan. Today it isn't helping. I know being super stressed is not good for the baby. If anything, it's upsetting my stomach even more. I'm ready to cry. That part I know is hormones. I keep telling myself to just work and not think about it, but I can't stop thinking about it. Ahhhhhh!!!!!
While it might seem ridiculous to ask, any T&P's you can spare to help me do well and to calm the heck down, would be much appreciated.
Re: Stress is not helping my pregnancy hormones.
I would take another look at the material if you can and then understand that your brain has probably abosrbed all the information it is going too. Stressing about it is not going to make you retain any additional information.
I bet you do way better than you think you will!
This. I think you know more than you think you know. And what will happen will happen. There is not much more you can do about it.
Thanks! I keep telling myself that stuff but it seems to help hearing it from others. I'm going to review a bit on my lunch break. I think maybe I should rephrase my topic to "pregnancy hormones aren't helping my stress level".
As for the crying, well that seems to be the norm lately. I cried last Friday because I didn't like what I had for lunch and I didn't have anything else to eat. Just hoping I don't burst into tears while taking my test. lol, I really hope I don't.
