What do you do when a bad test experience completely shatters your confidence?

I’m in serious trouble here…I’m exhausted, stressed out, I want to quit, I don’t want to go back, I feel completely stuck and I just want to spend time with my kids and wife. I want to go on vacation at the end of the month and not WORRY about this freaking REG test that I should have passed last Tuesday!

No, I’m not that big of a baby that a single failure sends me into a tailspin. I think this is the totality of my situation in life is finally catching up with me.

I studied hard all day yesterday but just hit bottom today. I need some motivation and words of wisdom. Right now, this effort seems as attainable as Mt. Everest.

I just read your other posts and wanted to let you know Ginger is an awesome remedy to nausea or indigestion. They sell ginger drops..I like the hard one's not the chews at most Organic/Wholefoods type stores. I use gin-gins. If you get a chance you should try them…it works wonders.

Or…..

I could eat lots and lots of sushi! 😀 Mmmmmm, that sounds really good.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a shot. Although, losing weight is good because I need to get rerated for insurance soon and don't want to pay an arm and a leg. I figure this–whatever it is–is helping me to eat portions that are normal instead of happy portions! So I am making sure to eat as many good things as I can to keep my vitamin levels and such up.

@CPApending, I think jumping jacks and avoiding “happy portions” is a GREAT start. I did jumping jacks today and my daughter thinks it's funny too lol….now I don't know if that's because I jiggle or because she's having fun with me but either way I'm doing something good for myself! 🙂

Amen EELCPA….

I think it's because I jiggle! 😀 It's hard to tell if I am that out of shape or if I am out of breath from laughing at my daughter laughing at me!……either way it's good times.

@Mom2two, happy early birthday to your son!

@Mrs300 go get FAR…you are SO CLOSE. That must be very exciting.
