I'm doing an MSc distance learning because of mental health problems etc. I have done well in all assessments getting high distinctions. However, I have been unable to sit exams (two) because of my anxiety and ibs. I have had extenuating g circumstances for these accepted for these exams and have resits in one month.
I started revision three weeks ago. But for the last few days I have felt awful. Extremely tearful and agitated on edge with intrusive thoughts that I will fail.
I have done well in the two modules that require these exams and would need 50% and 60% in each respectively to get a distinction. I know I can do it, I'm just finding it so hard to stay on track.
When I was an undergrad I had a bunch of friends to revise with who took the pressure off - we were in the library all hours and I did well at undergrad, and also enjoyed myself!
I have no where to revise properly now. I go to the local library but this closes early and I do my best revision in the evening. I used to stay in the uni 24 hr library all night.
I also feel incredibly lonely. I feel like all I do is revise (which is understandable). But I don't have an opportunity to chat about the course contents with anyone
It seems such a wasted opportunity to not do these exams, but I can't imagine feeling like this for another 4 weeks. Has anyone got any tips on how to survive
