Upcoming Exam Stress

hey, I totally get where you're coming from. exams can seriously mess with your head 😬 it's tough when all you want to do is chill but you got that huge stress looming over you 💭 try taking some deep breaths and maybe set short study sessions. cramming isn't fun, but breaking it down might help a bit. just remember, one step at a time, and you'll handle it 🤞 hang in there, you got this. your feelings are valid, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes.

well we all know that stressing does nothing right? procrastination is the worst thing that can- esp when it's literally the only thing holding you back from acing that exam. I think its about time we start using some toxic motivations /phrases to get us back to studying. and listen to me, you know your potential. you know you are more than capable of getting through this. youve been through this before and I know you'll get through it this time also. the first thing you need to tackle is your stress. take a few deep breaths, you're gonna figure it out like you always have.

"Breathe. You're going to be okay.

Breathe and remember that you've been in this place before.

You've been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared and you survived.

Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can't break you.

They're uncomfortable and debilitating and painful, but they won't last forever. I know it hurts.

I know you feel like this is going to be the end of you,

but it will pass.

Maybe not immediately.

Maybe not today or tomorrow or a week from now.

But sometime soon, the feelings are going to fade, and when they do, you'll look back and laugh for doubting your resilience.

For being so convinced that something so fleeting, would last forever.

I know it feels unbearable, but you've been here before. You survived it then, and you can survive it now.

Keep breathing, again and again.

This will pass. I promise it will pass."

this really brings peace to me.

I know it feels like everything is slipping out of your hand and you don't see the light at the end yet, so I need you to take your hands off what you can't control ( the time factor) and bring your hands on what you can change- that is to fight with yourself to learn the work and practice, just as much as you can, and leave the rest to fate. trust me it will work out so much better than it feels right now. "the best is yet to come" xx

hey, i seriously feel you on this one. exams are no joke, right? ugh, the stress is super real 😩! i used to hyperventilate before exams too, felt like the end of the world!!! i'd stare at my books and just blank out; it's the worst feeling ever!!! my phone was always calling my name, distracting me like crazy. you're definitely not dumb or stupid; it's just the pressure getting to you. maybe try doing short study bursts? i tried that and it kinda helped. just take it easy and know you're not alone in this!

You are soo special js breathe and try talk to sm u trust

hey, i totally get your frustration, but maybe it's not all doom and gloom. exams can be stressful, yet they're not the end of the world 😅 it’s just one step in the academic journey. lots of folks feel unprepared and overwhelmed, especially when cognitive overload kicks in. “focus on progress, not perfection,” as they say; remember, this is just a formative assessment, not a final verdict. maybe, instead of spending time worrying about not studying, you could break down the syllabus into smaller, manageable units. incremental revision can really reduce anxiety levels and improve retention. just keep it in perspective and do what you can. everyone's been there at some point, and you'll pull through.

i can empathize with your anxiety, but perhaps there is an alternative way to view this situation. exams, while undeniably stressful, do not define your entire academic trajectory. numerous individuals experience similar feelings of insufficiency and distraction, yet this should not lead you to conclude that you are incapable. consider employing techniques like active recall or spaced repetition; these strategies might aid in more effectively engaging with the material. while the fear of disappointing your parents is understandable, it is crucial to recognize that this is a temporary phase in your educational path. by compartmentalizing tasks, you may find that the burden becomes more manageable. approach each day with a strategic mindset, focusing on attainable objectives. it is not an easy road, but perseverance and adaptability are often key to overcoming such challenges.
