School Testing
Posted: 05-23-07 09:13am

I have testing anxiety and when I was tested for anxiety through the school it showed I was anxious 99% of the time in various situations. The things they told me to do I can't do, and the ones I can do aren't helping enough. I'd rather not take anit-depressants again, because they made me sleep a lot and I ended up missing a lot of school., flunking a class. I exercise every chance I get, and I can't use incense or lavender soaps because I have bad allergies and asthma. My anxiety is so bad its managed t cause numerous scholastic problems and help in breaking up a relatoinship with a man I love more than anyone. I wanted to marry him.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you are committed to doing the exercises you should try cbt. We learned the tea form exercise from the book by Sam Obitz in my group and it has become a staple in my life that helps me keep my anxiety at a minimum. I think cognitive training would help you overcome your anxiety and prevent future episodes.
