Exciting news... after my last final I will be graduated... it's been a long couple of weeks with mental stuff and I am excited to start working more and pay off things, but I am scared about my last test... it's short answer 4 questions over a lot of stuff that I have not reviewed yet... and I'm lightheaded... I've had some imagined scenes in my head of me passing out and 911 being called.... I know it's a reality, my bp has not been at 60 before... normally it is higher at resting.. Just a lot going on and lots of anxiety. Oh and my head is just hurting... but I know that I passed one of three classes, and I need to pass all to graduate... this is getting interesting.... just like my last degree... which I've had flashbacks about.

i have this thing called an anxiety meter that i visualize in my head. it goes from 0 to 10, 10 being the worst anxiety ever. so when i am anxious, i see where the needle registers on the meter. then i do breathing exercises until i get it down to a four. which is manageable for me. sometimes i see a knob on the meter and i will manually turn down the meter to four so i can calm down faster. practicing this enough, all i have to do now when i am anxious is say dial down, and i can calm myself. good luck with your test.

As long as this med change... I mean my body and heart adjusts to the med quickly. It's been one day and studying tonight has gone out the window. I guess it's time for sleep and then get up early to study. At least I can deal with early mornings. Afterwards.... there's another med change. oh joy.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
