exam stress

i'm worried that before i go into the venue for exams, i will feel panicked
as my heart keeps beating fast, and this happens even before doing something e.g presenting to the class
and i'm not sure if i'm panicking in the venue, as i don't want my class mates to keep looking at me or worry

im literally like this! i can NEVER do presentations in class coz i go all red and have like 10 butterflies in my stomach. i personally found comfort in clicking the colours on my bic pen so just try to find something that'll maybe calm u down a bit. but dont worry the panic kinda goes away once u just get started on the exam. hope this helps.

I totally get it) To calm yourself down, try taking deep breaths or picturing a positive outcome (these work for me) and remember, everyone's focused on their own stuff, so don't stress too much about what your classmates think)) If it keeps bothering you, talk to a teacher or counselor for some extra support, why not.

Good luck with your exams, and remember to take care of yourself too!
