Re: *sobs*

[(Anonymous)]

It doesn't matter what I'm studying in the end, because I don't retain any of it after the final exam or paper is turned in. I honestly don't. I'm studying philosophy, though. It's the only thing I seem to be able to get enough of a hang on to not feel like I'm being buried alive, even though I know it's never going to help me get a job, if I become able (or flat-out desperate enough) to search for one.

You just sounds like you need help badly, anon. and I do not mean that in a bad way. But you just sound like you're drowning and instead of help people are pushing you under the surface. You are likely not retaining because there are levels of anxiety that put you into fight and flight mode and that messes with your ability to learn. Anxiety will specifically disrupt your ability to concentrate and your short-term- memory - and hey, guess what you need for studying?

Look at these symptoms: http://www.anxietycentre.com/anxiety-symptoms/short-term-memory-impairment.shtml

Hell, it even caused long-term memory issues in my particular case, brains are weird things.

Ideally, you'd be able to take a sabbatical to just work on YOU, but if your parents won't allow it, try to find someone or something to help you with the anxiety - a psychologist, or just a self-help group if you do not trust authority figures, but something. Try to somehow find a safehaven - a place you can go to, alone or with someone you trust, where you re free from your parents and school stuff. And that you can return to in your mind if you're stressed. Good luck, in any case, in my case I ended up having to leave regular education to break that cycle, so I'm unsure how to break it from the inside. Good luck, anon, it sounds like you need to catch a break.
