TestinPathoat 2p.m.Today-Need help for YOU to decrease ANXIETY

[SnowRain7489]

Need some words of wisdom and uplifting spirits.:heartbeat

I have suffered from anxiety this whole semester. I need a 83% on my following tests in Patho to pass with a C-Last night my BF quizzed me, I wish he hadn't b/c he got mad at me and yelled at me for getting a wrong answer. I am now very ANXIOUS and scaired. I know the material, this is not above my intellectual ability, but when i get anxious I get the wrong answer. I will go swimming at 12p.m.for 1/2 hr 'cause this helps w/ deep breathing. I am also wanting to write an email to my BF saying thanks for making me feel worse. Last night he was like,

"I just need to read through this stuff ONCE and I could get an A in the test,"

"My ex-girlfriend used to"...(he said all this inappropriate stuff about sex)

"My ex-girlfriend is my best friend, she took care of me."

"you are not even going to be coming back next semester-so why do u care that my ex-GF is coming here,"

you're stupid and slow - he didn't exactly say this- but his hand gestures were poing to his chest (ya know)

I need to pull through this-ok c-yall, I will now write the nasty e-mail (i'll feel better after doing so) and study some more again and again and again over the material.

i am so sorry that you are going through this. your bf did not help at all with his put-downs and just plain meaness..

you have come this far. you can do this. you will do this. encourage yourself, be your best cheerleader. talk your self through it, not my berating yourself but by telling yourself you will do this, you know the answers, you are intelligent (you must be or you would not have made it this far!) and you are good at testing. i know it sounds crazy in words, but it does work, and it does work as well or better than being scarred and putting yourself down. (which is much more effective in the wrong way) when you know the answer that you are making on the test, praise yourself and let yourself know that you are proud.

don't listen to nonsense from bff. whatever his problem is---is his problem and not yours. you have enough going on as it is.......hang in there i will be sending positive energy to ya. good lucknow go and get them!!
