I'm so sad right now, I just feel like crying .

Everyday I decide I'm going to study, and then I freak out when I sit down to study, in the end I end up doing nothing . My exams are really really near and I have so much to study, but everytime I sit down to study, I have anxiety attacks and can't do a **** .

I used to be a good student, dunnow what's happening . Anybody please suggest techniques to focus to your goal, and concentrate in your studies, ignoring all distractions and temptations . I don't want to fail again .

Sorry, If I sounded like a whiny baby, but just didn't know who to tell? Coz, when I tell my roomies, they already know, I am not doing much, so all comes back on me. I really want to focus and study study study, but what's happening to me? Is it only Me? L What can you do to concentrate in your studies and motivate yourself? Esp. what can you do not get so stressed out and have anxiety attacks that you can't focus at all? Please suggest something.... Thnx everyone and sorry again.

First you need to relax, I have never been one to study before i started college but now i can. Play something soothing very low in the backround Norah Jones prehaps, then after you are relaxed crack your books and notes open and study, you just have to relax and stopr freaking out

Hello Moments, I can understand how u feel.I was in ur shoe the first time i take the test and found out i failed. I did not know if i would cry, I mean I couldn;t really express the pain. Its like after that results all of my dreams were vanished in the air. (gone).
But what can i advice to u is to seek God's guidance. Especially if ur really really down. Ther's some things in this world that "us humans" couldn't handle it on our own. We have to ask for his mercy. "Just call his holy name, and ask strength". Believe me Moments, he will give it to u.
After the storm in my life, God taught me to stand up again and continue fighting for my dream. Of course, ther;s still time that I am still down. I wasn't the "good student" way back in college...
So my frends and I bet that we should save lots of money to take and take the exam again till we pass.(JOKE). I am not from rich family,so I know no matter what I will continue studyin and striving hard to get my NCLEX RN license. Thats my goal everyday. I know when u dream of something, u have to put alot of efforts, lots of hard work. AND Most importantly , U have to bELieve in URSELF. I Really Want to be a NURse, I know am a foreign Student, and YES LIfe is Hard.. But I won't Give UP.
I am thankFUl to God that He give me my nursing degree, that HOPE that I Will be NUrse, RN one day... "Just ask, and continue asking and I know he will give that to me"........ AND when I pass, I will just remember all of those burning nights of studying.... AND WELCOME MY NEW LIFE:hatparty::hatparty::hatparty:

My NCLEX RN is on MAy 3,2006. I am jobless, i won;t have those test anxiety pills or Energizer drinks on the day of the exam. I don;t Know what questions WIll I Encounter this time. BUT I KNow God is with me on MAy 3, 2006, and along w. my knowledge are my Biggest strength. AND I Am ready for all those questions. I claim in God;s name "MAY 3,2006, My life will change, flowers will bloom, and I will shout LOud, YES I Am finally an RN"...

Goodluck MOments, don;t give UP~ We are Meant to be a NURSE, SO Let's PRove that~.:biere::biere::biere:

when you're overwhelmed and fearfull of failing you are going to avoid studying. what i do is i pretend i'm playing jeopardy. that way i'm not hurting myself thinking about failing. if you don't like jeopardy how about trivial pursuit. turn studying into a game.

Im glad i helped a little , remember you can do this, breath and relax
