my university books make my heart beat like hell!
 they frighten me, because they remind me of failure and i have this feeling of having to study them the best way and i can't do it!!!    i just don't study them till the end of the semester ... Fear of failure! fear of making mistakes! my heart is coming out... i have this feeling of doing everything the best way! thinking of others disapproval makes me frightened! i have just been put on : fluvoxamin 50 propranolol risperidone damn perfectionism! is facing the fear the only way to get rid of them?

Not studying until the end of the semester is the best way to guarantee that you don't do well
 I think the best way to study is to just . . . start. That's it. No big trick. Get everything you need together (books, papers, pens, etc.). Turn off the computer. Just make yourself sit there for a set time (say, two hours). You don't have to study. You just have to sit there, and your options are either sit there and do nothing, or sit there and study. Eventually, it'll get so boring that you'll wind up studying. Or at least, that's what I do. I am a bloody perfectionist and that never goes away, but you can get better and better with time.
