I get extreme anxiety when I know I'm being judged or evaluated

Why don`t you excercise just as your doctor recommended? What? Is it too hard for you to break a sweat?

Have you tried exercising every day?

>>16951952
I do, but can only manage to exercise 3-4 times a week because my muscles get too sore. Even this only marginally helps.

>>16951965
Oh so you can only excercise the recommended amount of days a week? Shame.

I think that the point is that excercise should strike you with motivation and willingness to change, given that you are doing something healthy.

Are you lifting or doing cardio?

Honestly, medicine will fuck you up in the long run.

It really is best to conquer this while you're young because you will always have to deal with these kinds of situations.

I would say, also, make sure to exercise before doing things you're nervous about.

And maybe just, like, practice. Maybe go out and do an open mic or something where you need to be in front of an audience. The first couple times you do it will be horrifying but after a while it'll stop being so scary.

Yes, and not the recommended "daily." My doctor claims that exercising strengthens the brain region that produces serotonin etc. but I can't keep up with the daily exercising with my schedule consisting of ~14 hrs of lab work daily.

I do both cardio and strength training.

Thanks for the advice, but I feel so pessimistic and feel like I can't be helped. I'm ok with public speaking but when I know that something as essential as my driver's license is on the line (and the $50 to retake the test), I lose my mind.

14 hours is crazy. In my case, I`m out of the house for uni for 10-12 hours daily and find time.

(OP) Is there no solution? Weed calms me down but it's probably not a good idea to do my test on it (or is it?)
