Why am I torturing myself?

My first maths GCSE exam is in 14 days. Every Wednesday (mostly) since September I have suffered a two hour maths class made bearable by my friend Sue and her husband Roy. Juggling household chores, work and studying is becoming the status quo for Sue and I who graduated with graphic design degrees a year ago. You would think after the stress that those three years caused us and our families, we would have learned our lesson and avoided deadlines and exams. 

However, here I am with my revision timetable, expecting that by some miracle I am going to pass this exam. Just 14 days of hard work and then I will never look at an algebra problem again, ever.

15fromfattofit: past-timeofthe-teenmind: coollikerinthetardis: jordansjourneyto130: This is the greatest thing I have ever seen. People do not understand that mental illnesses, such as depression, are actual chemical imbalances in your body. They are not brought on by choice. My dad was diagnosed with depression. He was so ashamed of it that he hid it from me and my brothers. A month later, he killed himself. The stigma that comes with mental illness made my Dad embarrassed to talk to his own kids about this problem because he felt like less of a man. Erase the stigma. The more we talk about mental illness, the less likely it will end in suicide. Please reblog. I wish my maths teacher would listen. She knows I’m severely depressed (like all my teachers) and she still piles on hours worth of revision and pressure on me to pass exams. Just because I don’t have an extremely depressed look on my face and essence in the air doesn’t mean I don’t want to kill myself and doesn’t mean I can handle the pressure of exams and revision. The more we TALK about mental illness the less stigmatised it is, and the easier it will be for me and many others to function.

over the week end just gone, me and Jaxx have been out taking shots on our Lomo Camera’s for inspiration and possible shoot locations, as per usual mine have taken an interesting rute, double exposures and cross processing combined with a strange way of scanning them has led to the images looking like this.
