hi!

I'm not quite sure if this is a symptom due to my anxiety, but I've been having this problem for quite a while now and I'm not really sure what to do about it. During exams (I'm in second year university), I find myself distracted quite often by internal thoughts, like throughout the exam, like every maybe 15-30 minutes I would either think about very emotional things like my ex and issues regarding that or just mundane things, like outfits I want to wear. 

It tends to be things that I have become hyper fixated on just during my normal days as I haven't really gotten much social interaction lately, as I don't really have that many friends at the university I am at (I'm in dorms) and all my friends are in my hometown about 3 hours away. Like the things that I think during my exams would be things that I only really think about during my time normally. 

But it has become an issue as like I would think these things during the exam and would freak out and punish myself internally (like internal thoughts of why I can't focus on the exam) because I can't focus on the material on the exam for like a couple minutes. Is this normal? I have been medically diagnosed with anxiety, but I've strayed off medication like quetiapine and sertraline as I want to stray off medication as much as possible.

any response would be helpful! thanks
