I recently changed my major to Sociology and now require to write on a regular basis.

Everytime I have to write something, I get anxious and feel very stressed. My head starts pounding and I feel overwhelmed by all the information out there. It doesn't have to be essays, it can be ANYTHING that involves writing and marks.

I have tried getting help from the counsellors at my school but nothing they say seems to help.

I know that writing is a major way of organizing your thoughts and not being to do so makes me feel really stupid and incompetent. I feel like a failure and that I will never be able to pursuit any type of higher education.

Any tips?
