i keep on having anxiety

[danceg]

so i'm in ap world history and we have to take the exam online now, and it's one essay. We've been practicing it every week but I'm still really bad at it and i keep on having anxiety attacks on it. I'm super nervous and even if I practice i don't really feel better. I'll start studying more hard core this weekend, but i just am feeling trapped.

I'm also feeling a lot of anger. I'm just full of anger about almost every aspect of my life. And my nurse practitioner changed my meds up for the worse so I'm mad at that too. I'm mad that I'm not enjoying this quarantine very much and I'm even more mad that when we go back to normal I won't like that very much either. It's like I hate life either way it goes.

Don’t give yourself an out. Everyday I’m working on my paper for 3 hours no excuses hold yourself accountable also exercise it will kill some of that anxious feeling. Don’t beat yourself up believe in yourself. Put in the hard work and effort and don’t leave it to chance. That’s all you can do! Best wishes!

Hello Danceg, I can understand how you are feeling. I also get anxious when preparing for exams and have to do a presentation. Sometimes until you have done your presentation it may seems like we are inadequate prepared, but I have come to realize that after several preparation and going over my work am able to deliver. Just try and take it easy on yourself. You can take relaxation breaks during your study time. Practice deep breathing exercise. Just give your best.

I know that this lockdown is not making things easier for us all. We are all in it together. Am guessing that the nurse is trying to help but if you feel like its not helping you then you can talk to her about how you feel about it. Each day that you wake up and is able to walk and do some of your basic living activities, just enjoy your day because it’s a blessing that others wish to have. Its may not be perfect but try focusing on other things that will make boost your emotion. All of us are not sure how our normal will be like after the quarantine. For now, let stop worrying about the ‘what if’. It only robs us of our today. When we get there will cross it. We will all be here doing it together. Am here if you need someone to chat with. Sending hugs and love your way. Have a blessed week and best wishes in your essay.

Try mind maps(by Tony Bunzan) - this made it easier for me to learn

Tests are tough no matter where we take them. I have found that if I listen to either classical or worship music during them I tend to relax more and get less anxious. When the anxiety starts to peak I get up walk away for a bit and walk it out. Seems to help me. Anger stems from another place. Have you figured out what triggers it? Is it that you are not in control? Or is it that you need human contact? Just some things to look into. I pray you get a good nights rest tonight. -Rachel
