    Results Day Anxiety.
    For the past two weeks, I haven't been able to sleep more than 3 hours at a time and right now, I was up at around 3pm and before that, I went to 'bed' at 7am and spent hours reading.

    I don't feel hungry, I just eat for the sake of having something, like I'll eat one meal a day and sometimes, not even that.

    I have recurring nightmares about it, it begins with my English teacher handing me a piece of paper that just has 'C' on it and I fall into a black pit and everyone stares and laughs like I'm a zoo animal.

    It's 9 days until Results Day and I'm absolutely freaking out. I know there's nothing I can do now but I'd like to hear how other people are dealing with this?

    I've been countine down the days, it started of 29 days. I cant sleep at night, every night i like research on last years results, other peoples success, grade boundaries, what marks i need, its endless. Tbh i just want 9 days to hurry up. I onlu get around 5 hours sleep during the day. Best thing to do is prepare for anything, best and worst therfor less worryin.

    Wow I actually had that dream at GCSE (minus the black pit and laughing)! Yeah, I'm bricking it as well. But whatever happens, happens.

    Kick back and relax. Do things that you might not have had time for during the school year. I always wanted to take a look at AP Calculus. I'm doing that now.

    I'm personally looking forward to this. I'm yet to attend an actual results day (when everyone's getting their results). I was pretty late last year so missed out on all of the hype. Although I am slightly worried since the exam period could've gone better.

    I've really not thought about it at all. I recommend you all become engrossed in Olympics fever, my days have flew by and I've barely even thought about Results day.

    Re: Results Day Anxiety.
    I'll be a bit nervous the day before and when I'm heading in to pick up the results but there's no point worrying up until then as there's nothing you can do. If you can't help but worry then just keep telling yourself there is nothing you can do until you get them back so enjoy the freedom you have until you truly have to start thinking and worrying about things again.

    I've been engrossed in the Olympics the past week, and it's taken my mind off it... sort of. After it's ended I think I'll go crazy! I'm so nervous!

    I'm only collecting AS results, but I had a dream that I collected my results and I had U's and E's for everything, apart from 'Classical Civilsation' (wtf), which I got full UMS in....

    I was the same with my results and having crazy nightmares is completely normal. All you can really do is try to distract yourself.
