Good luck- I remember the days of finals. You got to this point so think about all of the accomplishments you have acheived.

Man you are bringing back memories! I have been there. One trick that I used to do was to pretend that I was taking the exam for someone else. I studied and prepared because someone paid me. I did my best because they would pay more for an A. By pretending that it wasn't my exam released a lot of my stress and anxiety. I was then able to focus and do my best. Of course I never actually took an exam for anyone else, this was just my way of tricking myself so I could relax

This is awesome! Sometimes when I have had to face stressful situations or encounters, I have pretended to be a person I knew who I also knew would have no problem handling that situation, then just did what tjat person would do, and "bingo," it would go just as smooth as could be. This is sort of the same thing. Absolute genius. Thanks for the tip!

You should definitely see a psychiatrist for your anxiety and depression and the sooner the better

I can totally relate. During tests week i can barely keep anything down my stomach hurts so bad. But try to calm down at least you are prepared

Know that you said your prepared....that's good...remember that...you'll be okay, breath, and make sure you mind yourself the flu is going around.
