Coping With Exams – For most people, exams are stressful. Whether you are worrying about your workload, anxious about performing or fearful about the future, it’s not unusual to feel this way.
Anxiety – We can feel anxious when we are worried, or afraid. Anxious thoughts and feelings are often linked to fears about something that is happening, or might happen in the future. It’s normal to feel anxious sometimes, especially when we are going through stressful life events or changes.
