Hello Rebecca, I am sorry to hear that you are going through this. I feel your pain when I read you. A. know that you are not alone. B. seems that you are doing something good already: therapy. I would like to suggest things but could you be more specifc in regards to these exams. i know for a fact that going through exams can be indeed paralysing but i just want to make sure we are on the same page so i can maybe give you some useful feedback. Hang in there Rebecca. Remember to breathe. i thought it was silly when people would tell me that until three months ago when I had such panic attack that i forgot how to breathe for a while. i was gasping for air in my own bedroom, windows opened, perfect morning… and otherwise healthy… so… yes i know what you are talking about when you say paralysis… with warmth, sandrine
