Panicking

[marty518]

It's the anniversary for my last v* day and I woke up just fine, but
within minutes, I started panicking like crazy and I still am. Rather
than v*, I just want to shake and cry, but I have a final exam in an
hour and a half!!! I'm so scared I'll get sick during it that I just
want to cry and cry and drop the class and never leave my house. I've
been trying some breathing exercises which have helped a bit, but my
heart just starts to race and I get very shaky and feel like I'm going
to v* because of the butterflies it causes in my stomach.

I'm confident, a bit at least, that I won't actually v* but this has
been the worst morning ever. I'm hoping I can get through this!!

YOu'll be fine! good luck on that exam. I hate v anniversaries. Isn't it funny how we almost assume that since we got sick on a particular day that it will happen again? I think the odds are very unlikely! I got the sv 3 xmas's ago and I am nervous now everytime this time of year rolls around!

You'll be alright!! GL on exams, and try to relax ( I know it's easier said than done ). Just b/c u were sick last year, doesn't mean it will happen again this year!


SO go on and get a good grade, so you can celebrate the ending of another semester this weekend

Thanks you guys! I just got back from my exam and I was OK. I still
feel a little bit on edge of course, but I'm going to try and eat some
lunch anyways. In all, though, feeling much better than before. Thanks
for the support!!
