Stress

I'm seriously stressing about exams I have in a few weeks. So much so that I just can't concentrate to get any work done. Can anyone suggest any techniques to calm me down? I don't know whats got into me, I've never been like this with exams before... guess it's just cause I'm at the point which I've been working up to all my life, and if I mess this up I've ruined all the work so far. It's driving me insane.

I drink lots of beer when I'm stressed.. I wouldn't exactly suggest doing that but it works for me. Alcohol helps me get more work done somehow

If you're in college, make like a drugged-out college kid and eat adderall.

Drink lots of water. Be willing to take a mental health break. Whether it's watching a movie, playing a game, jerking off.. whatever. Just give your brain time-off to completely ignore your upcoming exams.
I'd also recommend running a few blocks or some other kind of cardio exercise.

study group. I find if I study with other people I realize I know more then I thought I did, and am more relaxed about it. Other then that, when I'm in the crunch its green tea, m&m's and yoga.

I find when I study with other people we tend to just try to take our mind off things, and end up going too far and get the giggles... but thats girls for ya! I just can't function, I can't sleep or even think straight, and the longer I'm like this the worse it gets cos I feel like I'm wasting valuable time.

Not really sure I'd want to... don't want to risk messing anything up... never done anything like that for exams before, so wouldnt really want to take the chance if you know what i mean. just need to get my head together and stop loosing it.

Haha, my gf got kicked out of middle school for selling caffeine pills. 
They made her go to some kind of special school for bad kids for a while.

I'm just trying to stay away from everything at the moment... I know it sounds boring, but I dont think its worth ruining all the effort ive put in so far...
