This is is a friendly, caring and supportive community.</P> <P>You have a lot to deal with at present with your study and exams.</P> <P>Do you have a counsellor/someone you can talk to, at your school, university/college. I know your exams are close but maybe if you can talk to someone they may help you work out a plan so you sleep and organise the time you have left. </P> <P>You are not alone in feeling like this there will be other students who feel the same way.</P> <P>I used to be the same as you and the more I worried the less I slept and the less I studied.</P> <P>Try not to worry about what you have not done but try to see what you can do with the time left. It is important you get sleep and have a plan. </P> <P>Maybe your doctor can help too. </P> <P>I know schools and universities have counsellors who understand students.</P> <P>These are just suggestions .</P> <P>Feel Free to post.</P> <P>take care</P> <P>Quirky</P> Tue, 22 May 2018 23:15:30 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/young-people/overpowering-worrying-and-stress-and-anxiety-social-and-study/m-p/422869#M18723 quirkywords 2018-05-22T23:15:30Z
