Bad stress and headache :(

Tomorrow is my last class exam in nursing school and i'm so anxious. My head doesn't just hurt...it is throbbing. I studied but I don't want to study anymore because the pain and shakiness i'm feeling. I'm scared I won't pass. I hate this feeling so much and there's no one to vent to so I thought i'd let it out on here. I rather not let any classmates know. I set my alarm early, maybe I will just sleep early to try to get rid of the pain. Wish me luck

LGrace, I do wish you the best of luck on your exam. I've always supported

the fact that you were going to be a nurse. Do some breathing and relaxation

in bed. I hope your headache goes away soon. Breathe xx

I just finished thank you Agora I’m glad you support it, that makes me feel like someone cares what I’m doing and I don’t feel that too often so it means a lot 🤍

Sounds like you definitely need a bit of down time for yourself before this exam. I always get test anxiety. I've been that way my whole life.

Do you meditate? May be a good thing to start. You will be entering the profession during a very stressful time. Learning some relaxation techniques will be a great way to cope.

Good luck on your exam! I'm sure you will do great.

I’ve tried to learn how with focused breathing but my anxiety overpowers it. I think I need some better tips. But thank you @dolphin14 I think the good luck helps me a bit because I don’t think I did terrible. I get my results back tonight

Do you exercise? Even 15 minutes is a help.How did you do on your exam?

[Hidden in reply to Dolphin14]

I passed! I graduate in 2 months!! I have weights so I will try to start using them more, at least 15 minutes.

How did you alleviate stressful situations with work?

Hey GraceUll do great, u just need to push yourself through the feeling. I feel the same everytime I gave an exam no matter how big how small. And no matter how much older I become I still get those feelings, its all how to manage them. Just think about something different, you are prepared so no need to overthink abt that. I doodle or meditate for 10 mins or just listen to really happy and motivating songs to help me push through. In the exam hall before they distribute the papers I do not talk to people as that makes me more tensed so I just keep my head on the desk and think of the most calming memory, just think how I feel when I'm flaoting above water. And so when the paper comes I'm calmer.

All the best!! I know ull do good..

Thank you Ava I did try to get my mind off of the exam right before I started and that helped a lot! I played a few songs. We are very similar in that sense I guess haha. I’m glad the test is over with!

Truly, Good Luck! All that worry and seriousness shows to me that you will be a good person for whatever you try to achieve. No matter the outcome of the test (I’m sure you’ll do well), reward yourself for all the hard work you have done. You darn sure deserve it!❤️🏄‍♀️
