Hi there, I’m a college student. I have my exams in a few days (19th, 22nd, and 23rd) for 3 different subjects. I need to prepare for all of them but I’m scared and anxious. Whenever I try to sit down and study, I’m able to do it for about 5-10 minutes, but then I get distracted, or overwhelmed by fear. I know what I should be doing, and that’s trying to focus on the process of studying rather than the result. But I have so much trouble just staying calm during studying. I have so much trouble remaining disciplined, and focused on my work. It’s like a urge that keeps eating away at my mind until I give in. I wanna overcome it, and I want to study. But how do I stop feeling scared? How do I get rid of this urge in time?
I’m worried I’m not going to be able to study for the exams in time and it paralyzes me. How do I overcome this?
