Depressed about "back-to-school?"?

Question

I feel so depressed about going back-to-school. I usually get this way a week before school starts. I should probably be excited due to this year being my last year of high school, but I can't help but feel constantly drained, stressed, and have headaches. Any advice for relaxing in my final vacation days?

Answer 1

Try looking at this final year of school as the beginning of the rest of your life. I too hated school and just dreaded going. I was an ok student, but I just hated it. On graduation night as everyone else was crying and boo hooing I was secretly thrilled to be done and couldn't wait to get on with other things. My parent's insisted (thank goodness!) that I go to college for at least a semester and try it. I went, and found I loved college as the atmosphere was so different. I later went on to get my Master's degree as well. I taught English as a second language and traveled all over the world. My point is, this is just the beginning of a new part of your life and you need to make the best of it, as it will fly by. Plan your future and dream about the fun you will have after you graduate. Best wishes to you, and I really hope you have a good year.

By the way, I never missed high school or the people, and it is definitely NOT the best time of your life if you are always looking forward and enjoying life!

Answer 2

Believe it or not, but EVERYONE feels this way. Alot of people don't want to admit this, but it's true.

I used to try to figure out a way to "stop" time - silly I know, but hey, I was always taught that it "never hurts to try".

I used to try to have a small "end of Summer" party with my friends. We would go to the beach (which was close) or go to an amusement park or anything like this, which still made it feel like Summer and not thinking of the first day of school.

Have a lovely rest of the evening. Enjoy your Senior year in High School.

Answer 3

I loved my senior year! You just might have a great time, too. For the drained, stressed, tired, you should see a doctor. Seriously, there may be an underlying medical cause for which you can get help.

Answer 4

Think positive. You will miss your school days. They are the best time of your life. Once you graduate, you will have to find a job and support yourself. Right now you can have fun and see your friends every day. Make up your mind to do your very best and see what you can accomplish.

Answer 5

Oh my gosh! Your senior year will be the most fun of them all! Enjoy it, because once you leave there, things will never ever be the same. Take advantage of all the school offers this last year, I promise you won't regret it. Best of luck to you!

Answer 6

try not to think about it that much you should be having fun with your friends. after school you get to go to college which is pretty fun. i guess i was lucky my senior year i only had 4 classes cause i caught up on my credits. but try not to think about it that much it's not that bad just kit (keepintouch) with your friends that you know and love. and good luck on your senior year

Answer 7

Do fun things to get your mind of it. Maybe spa or shopping with friends.
