so i took this math test two weeks ago, and i've never felt that much anxiety before taking tests. basically, my teacher said we could use our calculator bc there were big #s but i didn't have my calculator with me, so i started panicking. i know, i'm so stupid. i could have just went to the teacher to ask for one. but i was so anxious and i didn't want to go up in front of the classroom (and i was also scared of my teacher). so i just tried my best to do my test, but i started to sweat and my heart was racing because the numbers were very complicated and needed a calculator to solve. the questions were SO easy but i was so stupid. we got our test back yesterday, and everyone else got high grades (like As) and i got lower than a 50%. and i know, it's all my fault. the thing is, some people saw my grade on my paper because we were waiting around the teacher's desk for him to pass the remaining tests back. and my paper was on the top, and i know that they were all thinking "wtf how did she get that grade??" bc it was such an easy test. and i don't know what to do anymore. i've been crying all day and yesterday and i just needed to let this out. i feel so sick i want to give up on everything. i am so embarrassed and disappointed in myself.

    Oh lulu I feel like I want to give you a big hug! You did your best and really you are worth way more than 1 maths test. Let the others think what they like and be proud that you gave it a go. I wonder how they would have done with no calculated also. I think you did great 😊

      Try and be kind to yourself Lulu, anxiety can make us do silly things, but it's ok still. I've done plenty of them! Some really dumb things actually, but I was doing the best I could at the time. Try and think about some positive things about yourself 😊
