Hi everyone!
Midterm season is upon those of us who are still in school. I was wondering if anyone has been having similar problems to me. I keep getting a panic attack before I have to write an exam. A few times I thought I'd have to miss the exam but Ativan seems to kick in just in time. Writing exams drugged doesn't really have good results though. To help with anxiety I write my tests in a private room and I have time and a half to write. This doesn't really do much for me though as today I had a bad panic attack with an odd focus on really bad abdominal pain so I thought it wasn't related to anxiety. Almost skipped exam and went to the hospital ha.
Now, how do you cope with exam anxiety? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
