I'm so sorry that you're having such a tough time....and at exam time, no less. I don't really have much advice as I'm new to all of this (well, I've had it for years, but new to the whole "knowing I'm not the only one"). All I can say is I'm sorry and I hope you feel better soon. I don't know if you're religious at all, but one of the things that helps me is to pray and recite a verse from the Bible over and over.

Don't worry about anything. Pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. If you do this, you will have God's peace, which is far greater than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your heart and mind as you live in Christ Jesus. Phillipians 4:6-7

naenae- it is so nice to see another christian on here. I often find verses in the bible when I am upset or panicking. all axiety and panic is is the devil, so if you just pray outloud to God not to let the devil in and continue to do it, you will feel better, I can promise this!

thank you i really hope your right because god is the only one i can really turn to at the moment

God is always here...BUT as a Christian you should realize that sometimes we are in certain situations becasue God wants us to learn something out of it to make us better people and glorify him. so if you feel that this is not getting better, try to really pray about it, and ask him why are you suffering so much,. what and you need to do, but if you truley trust in him and believe you will get the answer you need! i hope you are feeling better.

i never thought of that, its like 'things happen for a reason' thank you, i will try that!

There have been nights when I was so anxious (because it was night) that I could not wind down enough to go to sleep. When I told my hubby that my head was just swimming with "stuff", he suggested that I just recite that verse over and over again until that was all that was "swimming" in my head. I'm not sure how many times I repeated it to myself, but it did work. I finally was able to push everything else out and fall asleep. It's not easy, I know. Hang in there!!
