I have anxiety but not in a generalized way where I can telll myself to just „breathe through it“. My anxiety comes from the very realistic fear of failing my masters, failing to get the job I need, failing my next exam and ruining my whole future along the way. It has gotten so bad that I wake up in the middle of the night with my heart racing and in the middle of a panic attack I can’t stop. Because whenever I tell myself to „breathe and it will be fine“, I realize that NO, it won’t be fine because of that realistic chance that I will fail.

So now I don’t know what to do. All those tips about anxiety and panic attack don’t work on me because my fear is so specific and realistic. I am going mad and I just need someone to help me cope with it.

Please, does anyone have any advice or can anyone help me? I am so scared.
