Help me please ... i'm almost 2 months free ..what do i do?
Take some deep breaths. Give some gratitude for all your successes (list them on a sheet of paper). Live in the moment. Stop worrying about the future in which you have no control over and have not experienced yet. Go for a walk outside. Go to your place of worship, read some scripture, give charity, etc. Go do something nice for someone (pay it forward). This will pass. You are not your story! Stop telling yourself you can't study. This is your anxiety speaking. You have the choice. Stay strong! Win!
You can change your environment and be around other people who are studying. Go to a café or to the library and surround yourself by others fighting the same battle (much like you come here to do the same). Make a realistic plan now and study what you have time for. Don't look to pick up all the pieces and make a perfect score with only a few days left. Triage it and learn exactly what you have time for in the few days remaining and don't studying anything that won't help you do better on the exam. If you are lost, get some key points from others in the class and follow how they prepare for it. Meditate for a time if you need to clear your head. Your emotional brain can go back to organized mayhem if it must after the exam is over.
