Anybody else in intense exam pressure?

:chat: Just Chatting

So I’m going to give this huge major exam next month. I’m prepping for it as much as possible, but man, I wake up in abject dread every day now.

In past months even but I kept it contained. But recently, it’s so tough.

Getting tougher.

Constantly doubting if my prep is good enough, worrying over a longer break or needing a nap, having to study the entire day all day for months.

At least the above is somewhat handleable.

But the isolation? That is genuinely damaging my brain and body at this point. I have been having very little genuine face to face connection for 7 months now. I have no friends in my hometown (where I came back to study) because I don’t vibe with the people here for various reasons. (I swear the reasons are just fundamental differences in thinking than me being some bad person or demon. Just never feel good with them.)

The online connections I do have are few and they got busy recently as well with their own life stuff.

I just got told “do this more do that more” in terms of prep and I broke down crying from overwhelm.

I guess I just want to see if anybody else is in the same boat to feel less alone or get some comfort from people. Or tell me about yourself maybe! Just need some comfort from normal conversation maybe!

Wanna see some character designs that are close to my heart? (That’s the best way I cope lol)
