I think I&#x27;m overdoing it

OP

Thanks a lot, I know if it goes on like this; it will most probably have a detrimental effect on my education anyway!

The bit of advice that I can give you is to try and put the panic attack out of your head. The cause of a lot of panic attacks for regular sufferers is the fear of having a panic attack.. as silly as that might sound. You just have to remember that panic won't kill you, and you just need to relax and breathe deep until it passes.

You're certainly doing too much though- just work out what you really NEED to do, rather than feeling pressured to totally kill yourself over it..

Hope it gets better for you :frown:

If you've been revising for a number of weeks now, I think it's absolutely FINE to take a week off and rest. It's your last week of school/college I presume, so just go to school for this week, do the necessary homework etc & work again in the holidays! You'll be fine!

Yeah I was thinking about doing that, the only problem with that is you end-up feeling guilty! Congrats on your Dentistry interviews by the way, the majority of my Dentistry buddies haven't heard anything yet!

Really! You don't have to worry!! I haven't really started revising yet :s-smilie:

I'm such a procrastinator :tongue:

Don't worry, you're going to be fine! You have the whole of the x-mas holidays.. If you don't want to give up this week, I say work till Friday. Then give yourself one week of x-mas holidays to relax! You are definitely over-doing it. Chill out, organise a day out with friends, do some shopping, sales etc :smile:

Awwh and thank you :smile:

What have you applied for? :smile:

Chemistry, although ironically, I was seconds from pressing send on UCAS before I realised my heart wasn't in Dentistry. However my work experience definitely put me in good steed, I just shifted the emphasis a bit on why I did it.

Ahh, I've just read your sig & I'm guessing your first choice is UCL and their offer is AAB :biggrin:

I'm guessing you're quite a smartie if you were going to apply for Dentistry.. Mind me asking you what you got for AS? Because I'm sure you'll be fine & can give yourself a break :smile:

I woke up at 5:30 this morning with a high pulse rate and I felt on edge. I'd just had a dream about not getting my coursework in on time. It doesn't sound like much, but at the time it was quite scary and worrying. To answer your question, I think most feel it around this time of year, or at least will do soon. I have four exams in January that I haven't even started revising for, which is a worry...

I hadn't been to UCL before my interview, I got there and just thought: wow.

AS:
Biology - A
History - A
Psychology - A
Chemistry - B - don't get me started!

No worries :smile:

Hope you're able to de-stress :smile:

Also! Try to forget about exams while you relax, as that defeats the purpose of chilling out :tongue:

I've spent this weekend completely chilling - a max of 2 hours of work! After spending such a long time revising for my mocks, including personal issues, I realised I needed a break. I know there's a lot left to learn but I suppose I deserve a break, so do you. Before you completely exhaust yourself, I seriously suggest you take a day off or something.
