Can't sleep... Severe test anxiety

<p>This may sound ridiculous but I literally cannot sleep because I'm so anxious about how I did on my final exams. Summer vacation has jur begun for me and towards the end of junior year, I became so drained that I didn't really study that hard for my final exams. I'm afraid that I ruined my year of hard work with my exams and I can't stop thinking about them!!! My heart feels tense and I can't really breathe right. I was supposed to hang out with my friends tomorrow and i don't even feel like it anymore until I get my exam grades back. I want to cry...-and plus I'm in a huge fight with my dad that's hasn't resolved yet. What to do??</p>

<p>Relax! It’s only school. Why drive yourself crazy? Go outside and laugh at the moon. Enjoy yourself with your friends. Get them next year.</p>

<p>Steps to reduce anxiety:

  1. Think about the worst possible thing that could happen, assume it will happen, and have a plan for how you’ll deal with it. Then be happy when it doesn’t happen.
  2. Realize you’re not actually accomplishing anything by worrying. What’s done is done so you may as well be happy.</p>

<p>Thanks guys. Will good grades senior year make up for my mediocre grades junior year?</p>

<p>Entirely depends on the college. Probably not at schools where all your competition will have had awesome grades all the way through.</p>
