Dear Thelma: I'm facing too much pressure and no one understands me

I’ve been getting really lonely lately and I can’t seem to enjoy the things I loved to do in the past few years. I feel like I’m being smothered. I’m suffocating and falling apart.

I’m sitting for SPM this year and with all the homework, tuition classes, music lessons and studies, I don’t seem to have time to rest. My mother lectures me every time she doesn’t see me studying, even when I’m having a break.
