I really dont care how much i get i just want to know, i mean ifcourse i care but at the same time its the anticipation freaking me out, the wait, the need to overthink ..i really feel like im going to get a heart attack from all the anxiety waiting for me , because its already starting to build up and results are in a little over a week away

I know how to calm my self a bit but im just too overwhelmed sometimes its hard to calm

So . . . . .

What's your favourite distraction (within reach of course !!)

Do you enjoy photography?

I like to photograph beauty - sunlit scenes , blue skies & beautiful tress, mountains; animals , wild birds, waterbirds, the beach at sunset . . . . .

Is there a park nearby where you can go walking? It helps if you can arrange to meet a friend early morning, then you HAVE to turn up?

Is there a sports centre you could meet in for a swim or gentle work out?

Let's think of something you can do every day - starting early morning - for a week to get you through this.

Playing your favourite pieces and getting lost in your music should help? Consume your thoughts?

Do you have any older siblings with a young family you could visit or friends? Children can be exhausting and a big distraction ?

Is there a Nursing Home or Retirement Home nearby that you vould visit. There may be some lonely residents who could be cheered up by a visit from you? How about volunteering? If they had a piano , maybe you could suggest playing for them? Or taking some recorded music?

Ask the manager if they have any music for old favourite songs and organise a sing-a-long?

Helping others is an excellent way to help ourselves - uplifting and rewarding. Takes our mind off our worries & problems.

I know it’s hard when you’re waiting for an answer to something very important. Hang in there! Try to find something to pass the time, if you can.
