My exam OKB

Hello everyone, I would like to talk and tell you about an event I experienced today. I had an exam today. My exam went well, but I am not sure if I marked the part to indicate that I coded the questions correctly in the exam. The invigilators check and if we leave it blank, they warn me. I know this, but after the exam, this thought is in my mind the whole time. It's back, I checked it myself many times, but I know this, I can't be sure, I ask everyone and they say you marked me to relax, but I don't know and the exams need to be announced to be sure, but there is still a long way to go, by the way, I don't want to spoil the days for myself, I remember that I marked it, but now I've thought so much that I don't remember it. I think I said this to deceive myself, I want to chat about this issue and reassure you, thank you in advance.

It's not easy sometimes to be satisfied with reasonable certainty, especially when the stakes are high. Churning thoughts won't help in the end. The only viable solution is to accept some uncertainty and let the worry slowly fade away with the passing of time. It gets easier with practice.
