I find that if I try to study for a test (rarely even bother) I feel SUPER unsettled then I end up inside a trash can. This sounds ridiculous because it is. Any advice?

Hello Imprenotimmature: Well... I presume you are writing metaphorically... Personally I have always struggled with a lot of anxiety. And so focusing on anything for very long has always been a challenge. If you struggle with anxiety, this may be something you'll need to address before you can reliably keep yourself out of the trash can.

What works for me is finding a way of studying that relieves anxiety for me. Listening to music (particularly r&b) while i just start with one mini chapter helps. Drawings, mindmaps and interactive flashcards for terms helps with me. For subjects like math, I start with the basic concept and then take a break when i feel I understand it. Take frequent breaks and give yourself lots of time to study for this test. Start early. Just start with the easy stuff and take a break at every hour max, or every half an hour, then go back to it when you feel ready. Sticking it in there will help a lot. Try to find out what type of learner you are too. I also find watching netflix while i'm doing easy tasks like re-writing notes soothing too. I know it sounds distracting but it can help relieve anxiety ![]() Audrey, IB student |
