Just had a spew due to anxiety. Christ in a cream cheese sauce.
Actually stressed AF about these last two assessments, but it's fine. I have an extension to Monday night, so I can go in to class today and smash them out over the weekend. I have this mighty fear I'm not good enough, that I wasted my money because I'm a terrible person. But I know it's just my depression and fears.
Been trying that technique of "but what if I pass?" instead. But man, those depressive pathways are such an easy road ugh!
I don't think I ask for much, but I would really appreciate some good vibes I think. πππΌ
What if you completely smash it like you have for other assignments? Don't listen to your mean brain, you're awesome, you're in the right place, and this is just a step on the way to an amazing future for you.

It sounds like you are doing great, so I'm sure you'll be fine.
I find the opposite technique often works well for me - actually following the "what if I fail?" thoughts and working through the scenario realistically. Fears are often big and scary because we don't really want to think about them, once we shine a light at them they shrink back to something realistic we can actually deal with. So for example if you fail the subject you would need to repeat it, which means it will take a bit longer to finish the course. Which would be a bit annoying, but a long way from the global "I'm not good enough" fears.

I know it's negative thoughts but you're two assignments away from finishing. You're closer to the end than the start and it sounds line you've been going well so far. Often these final assignments are easier because you're more familiar with the material

I feel this so much. You aren't alone in these feelings. And you can do it. Breathe. Vent. Ground. You're a star and you will get though.

You've done well from what I've seen. You need to have more belief in yourself.
I find sometimes it helps to just focus on what you need to do and finish so that you don't get to thinking about the ifs and what happens.
Wishing you good luck with it all.
You can do it!
