Yeah, I think I have a bit of a problem with that. Not so much "in real life" (though ... |

Thanks. I miss him already.
Cancer won today. I hate cancer and one day (even though it'll be quite a few years from now), when I've got my degree (and hopefully PhD) in biomedicine, I will do my b ... |

Ah, I've had to deal with anxiety most of my life even before I knew I had it. I was put on medication more for 'severe depression' which got rid of my anxiety for awhile but it didn't last long.

Yes. Not to mention the crippling sense of guilt that washes over me on the whole thing.
I can just be sitting there and suddenly I think:

Glad the other exam went well! Puts less pressure on you for the coming exam. And it's a big achievement considering how you are feeling.
I have a chemistry exam in two weeks, also. If you have an ... |

This sort of thing happens far too often. I had to phone to get both my depression referral and Asperger's referral moving.  Well done for managing to phone them and get it sorted out.
