Education is like a conveyor belt in our perfectionistic society. I based my identity on my grades. I was hospitalised. Now I’m working on imperfectionism.
The anxiety. The panic. The doubt. The pressure of exams. Revising for hours and hours, terrified of failure. This isn’t what we should learn at school.
We discredit mental health when it comes to sick days. But without the brain, we’d be dead. The brain works the hardest, so let your brain have a break!
