I hope the exam goes well. Try to push all of your worries out of your mind and just focus on what you have to do. If you start to feel anxious, try deep breathing. In for seven counts and out for eleven, repeat until you start to feel calm.

The thing I hate most about my anxiety is how much it's holding me back. I had to drop out of college because of it and now I can't work either. It's so isolating, I can't see friends and I spend a lot of time home alone. Although I do try to get out as much as possible, it's got better in that respect, I can go shopping in town and stuff.

	Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different… you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
