I've managed to get myself into a state over a mock exam today, in 2 hours. Which I've now decided I'm not going to. I tried to speak to my mum, all she said to me was "everyone else is probably feeling the same way" which, to anyone with mental health issues, is a bad thing to say. Especially when they're in the middle of an anxiety attack.

Then, after I went to my room, still feeling anxious, my mum came in 5 mins later and told me that I would regret not going, she also said that after I called down and put it into perspective I'd hate myself for not going. And to top it off, she also said "it's only an hour". No mum. It's a 1 hour bus ride, on two separate buses coupled with the half an hour ordeal of finding my room (I'm in a low density room) and standing for 20 minutes worrying about whether it's the right room only to then do the hour and a half exam without writing a single word because I know jack-**** about the subject (I missed a hell of a lot of classes).

Anyway, all of these comments make me wonder whether I am wrong to feel this way and be anxious? Like she said, everyone else is going so why can't I? I just feel wrong, everything I'm feeling feels like I shouldn't be feeling it. I don't know what to think anymore.

You feel how you feel, accept it because there is nothing wrong with that. Now what are you going to do about it?

To make it manageable break it down into steps. Getting dressed. Done, good. Eating something. Done, good. Head to bus. Done, good. Keep it up. You can do it
