Could anyone please help me?
Let me fill you in - I've got me A Levels coming up (last year of school, grades dictate university entrance) early June and I've started revision properly as soon as the Easter holidays started. Before this, I had a long coursework that I've found very hard, and very worrying, handed in a couple of weeks ago. I don't know why I got so wound up by it, but I think I'm just so worried about messing up, for a varety of reasons, but I dunno, I just feel anxious even hearing about the subject!
It's really getting to me, and it's odd, because usually nothing like this has much of an effect on me, I'm not one of those people who gets really worried about things etc.
I doubt this can be classed as a panic attack, but every so often (since the last few weeks I've started getting this at least once a day) I suddenly get worried and anxious. my heart races but not very heavy breathing, but it does get higher (surprisingly) and I can't concentrate, because so many possible bad things happening run through my mind - about anything!
Even a friend talking about anything they're doing well starts it off - despite usually I don't feel affected by these people. Worrying about my hair (god knows why, I've never worried about it before) to just seeing successful people (yeah I know :-\), gets to me - I don't go into anything major, but I feel all those things I just said about.
could someone please help?
