i’m scared of failing.

I have to hand in an essay worth .067% of my overall mark and i’m so scared of losing that .067% that i’ve failed to do anything within the last 6 hours to help me make this essay better and i’m handing it in within 48 hours and its made me so anxious. i hate school, it makes you way too highly strung. and to thing .67% will be worth so much in the end - if i get into the course i want which i have to score 98.2% better then other students in my state (its a bell curve thing). this is ridiculous. i can’t sleep and i can’t work.

Try to think of the rewards and not the problem. Perhaps do some physical exercise to destress and then sit down and do it?

You are focusing on the big picture at a time when you just need to focus on the current detail.

Do a really long pre-write, write down your thoughts that involve the topic, if you are tired try’n relax for a while and then get bak to work, in the end the essay is not gonna write itself, just keep trying.. I know what the pressure is, and when you are on the spot you can’t think desperately.. soo try to relax as you write down your thoughts and then move to the draft, etc..

I wish you luck
