Anxiety and panic because of roomie
I have extreme anxiety and panic against my roommate. This is a kind of comparison anxiety regarding studies. Thing is we both are classmates and arch competitors. I just cannot study in my room because of her presence. I fear lagging behind her way too much. Even if she turns a page i feel" oh she's a page ahead of me and will score more". Also i hate to study in the room because i don't want her to see any of my resources for studying. I have developed extreme anxiety and my grades are fallin

The above mentioned symptoms are indicative of examination anxiety along with low confidence. Try changing your room and focus on your own preparation. Plan your day and schedule your day in such a manner that it includes all subjects with enough breaks in between. Try to meditate and not think about other's performance.
