I'm taking an online math class this session and starting out from the beginning I'm way behind. I had to take a test and I scored low on it so now I have study a lot of material in order to pass the class and I mean a LOT. I can't believe how material they give you to do, study and then in the tests you have to pass with an 80%.

I am so anxious it is unreal. I know that being anxious does me NO good. It is wasted energy so I try to positive self-talk and take my meds to stay calm and just do my work. I just don't see how I am going to undertake all this material and make it through the class and yes, I have already contacted my Professor.


Please give me some positive feedback here. I just need to hear some good messages.


Thanks. :-)

Hi C.H.,

Sorry you are feeling the pressure of the school work and study that you are currently facing.

Try not to see your workload as one insurmountable task...but rather a serious of steps that can be broken down and accomplished one step and day at a time.

Perhaps making a schedule of how much you need to do each day to get through all that you need to would help...so in this way you stay caught up.

I have faith that you can do this..so believe in your abilities as well!

You sound like an intelligent, capable and motivated person...so go get that good grade!!

You can do it!

You are going to be ok! I too have text anxiety & also took a math course online. My now husband helped me pass it (he's really smart)! lol.

Do you have a good friend who might be able to help you? When I took my course years ago, there were no rules that said someone couldn't help you.

Hang in there, it'll all work out!

Hugs!
Lisa
