Possible trigger for anxiety and school/study

I have this (what I think is unique) anxiety issue, where if I don't study a certain amount every day I get anxious. This means that I don't have a day to relax so I don't study as much b/c I'm getting burned out. It makes me nervous and the whole thing just keep cascading in a vicious cycle. I'll be starting work soon so hopefully that will help. I wish I didn't get so worked up about it. It even affected my sleep for awhile.

All I can think is what if I didn't go into Pharm or if I would have just not failed that test like an idiot. I'll try to relax tonight but I'm getting really sick of being so on edge all the time. Thx to all who read this!

Failing tests puts me into homework overdrive too, to the point where I'll spend upwards of 12 hours studying on my days off from work, and 4-8 hours on work days (even though I get off work at 11pm). So you're not alone in this. It is a vicious cycle, and if you're bipolar like me apparently you'll end up manic because that's what always happens to me when I go study crazy and lose sleep. It sucks to be on edge all the time, not knowing whether you'll pass or fail a class. I'm there right now, and I was last term too, even though I'm a straight A student. I'm just having bad adhd issues that my pdoc refuses to treat.
