After falling ill, confusion about academic pursuits? I feel very sad. By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

Before I fell ill, I was doing very well in my studies, always ranking among the top. After getting sick, I rested at home for a long time, missed many classes, and now it's almost time for the college entrance exam. I still have a lot to learn. Even if I study, I feel like I can't learn or focus. I'm constantly immersed in regret and don't know what to do. I truly regret not taking a leave of absence and resting at home for that year; I feel like I have no future ahead.

Dear colleague, I get it. It's normal to feel anxious and uneasy when facing a big moment like the college entrance exam. The difference between what you've achieved so far and where you are now can make you feel regretful and helpless, as many people do.

Your past efforts and achievements show what you're capable of and what you're capable of achieving. Illness and rest are part and parcel of life, and it's not your fault. It shouldn't be a measure of your self-worth.

Your current situation doesn't have to be a sign that your future is bleak. It could be an opportunity for you to become more resilient and wiser.

There's a concept in psychology called cognitive dissonance, which describes the discomfort and anxiety we feel when our actions and beliefs are inconsistent. You might feel pain from the conflict between the belief deep down that you should be able to handle everything and the reality that the difficulties overwhelm you.

When you're facing pressure, it's especially important to find confidence and courage. The first step is accepting reality.

We can't change what's already happened, but we can make the most of the present and plan for the future. When we accept our situation, we can start thinking about how to make the most of the limited time we have to fill in the gaps in our knowledge and improve our abilities.

You can break down the learning content into small pieces and focus on completing a small part every day. This can help you avoid feeling overwhelmed by overly ambitious goals. At the same time, such a plan can also help you track your own progress, which will boost your confidence.

Reading inspirational books and going to mental health lectures can help us develop a positive mindset and believe in our ability to overcome the difficulties ahead.

Asking for help is also key to the learning process. Whether it's asking the teacher for help or discussing with classmates, it can help us understand and master knowledge faster.

On top of that, extra classes are a great way to fill in any knowledge gaps.

Practical action is a sign of confidence. Regular exercise every day not only keeps our bodies in good shape, but also helps us stay focused and improve our learning efficiency.

It's important to regularly reflect on and adjust your study plan. This helps you understand whether your learning methods are effective and whether your progress is in line with expectations, so you can make the necessary adjustments.

Everyone's journey is different. The college entrance exam is just one stop along the way. It's not the end, but a new beginning.

When you're facing difficulties, don't despair. Instead, see them as opportunities to grow and become more resilient and wise. Don't compare yourself to others, but focus on your own progress.

Your future is full of endless possibilities. As long as you're willing to take action, you'll be able to find your own path. Go for it!

Your body is telling you to stop because you are too tired.

If you value the human body in terms of its parts, a few million is always worth it. But many people can't earn a few million in their entire lives.

What's important?

When learning, understand your abilities. Don't look at the past, look at the present.

Learning is like picking apples. You can try to pick the one that is a little out of reach, jump a little to get it, and save your energy for the next time. If you want the apple at the top of the tree from the start, you have to assess whether you can reach it.

If you can't do it, you won't have the last apple and you'll run out of energy.

Understand? What suits you is most important.

You can be happy doing any job as long as you're positive and optimistic.

Happiness is peace and health. If you are not at peace now, the future will be more stressful.

You can't control everything. You can't do anything about getting a bad grade or not getting into the school you want.

My child, happiness and health are the most important things. People don't just live to learn or make money.

The meaning of life is to stay positive and optimistic through suffering to gain wisdom.

Everything has a yin and a yang. What is illness trying to tell you?

I understand how you feel, it's really tough to catch up after being ill. But remember, your health is the most important thing. Try to set small, manageable goals for studying each day and be kind to yourself as you progress.

Keaton Davis Success is a combination of hard work, tenacity, and the ability to rise from failure.

It's completely normal to feel this way, but don't let regret consume you. Focus on what you can do now. Maybe you could talk to your teachers or a counselor about making a study plan that works with your current situation.

Gustav Davis Forgiveness is a choice to let go of the pain and move forward with love.

I can imagine how frustrating this must be for you. It's okay to feel lost right now. Perhaps reaching out to friends who are also preparing for the exam could help; you might find support and motivation in each other.

Feeling like this is really hard, but try not to lose hope. There are many paths to success, and this setback doesn't define your future. Consider seeking professional advice to guide you through this challenging time.

Gladys Thomas Learning is a gift that keeps on giving.

Missing so much time due to illness is incredibly difficult, especially with such an important exam looming. Remember that you've already shown great strength by recovering. Now, take it one step at a time and believe in your ability to overcome this challenge.
