I have work but not a lot else. Going to try swimming maybe. I don't know if I have the energy for anything. My heart feels broken swimming or something sounds good, just might help you to get out of the house to do something to take your mind off things, so sorry your parents are like that, you don't deserve that at all!

Any tips on getting rid of anxiety during exams? I had it for the first time today.
I'm past all the complaining about it but I don't want it to be an issue for the other 10.
I've been banned (requested not naughty) for a bit so sorry for any forgotten replies and I hope you all are okay.

Exams bring out the worst in us. Try and do something you enjoy like watch an episode of a TV show to cheer yourself up. Also remind yourself that it will be over soon and you can only do your best! Try talking to your friends about it as they can comfort you and provide a temporary distraction from exam stress, I find that a fifteen minute phone call with my best friends always cheers me up in no time.

Possible short term solution: Maybe try Paul McKenna's book "I Can Make You Smarter", it has a CD on it for exam confidence.
Longer term: In general, I'll recommend mindfulness, and the book "Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Finding Peace in a Frantic World" by Mark Williams & Danny Penman is a good start. I suppose cognitive behavioural therapy might help long term as well. "Change Your Thinking With CBT" by Dr. Sarah Edelman is thorough.
The best thing to do is to make a commitment to take time out to practise these things. When you want to change something (aka being in a better state during performance or exams), it's best not to be too hard on yourself and to realize that any change takes time and is incremental. See if you can praise yourself for progress rather than get angry at yourself that you haven't yet achieved a 'perfect outcome' - this will facilitate the change.
All the best!
I`m so ****ing tired of myself. I`m sure no one would like me if they could see me through my eyes. Usually I`m fine cause I surrender myself with friends but every evening/night when I have just my own company I feel soo lonely. Gah, what am I gonna do next year at Uni?
Gahhhhh hard parts now

Is it about school/uni exams? Or something else on your mind? 
Hello! Anxiety has been high lately. I think I have epilepsy, and I'm scared of having another seizure. I want to get checked out by at least a GP, possibly also a neurologist or epileptologist, but my parents are reluctant because they think that it'd be a social and employment stigma, it'd stop me from learning to drive, and it'd mean high doses of medications that might have side effects.
