So I have suffered with overthinking and catastrophising for around 15 years now. I'm a mature student in my first year of university and I'm really struggling with the pressure of getting good grades. 

I can't seem to shrug the thoughts of "what if I get bad grades then university has been a waste of time then I can't get a job then I won't be able to move out of my parents home" etc etc.

I study alot but I think I am a very slow learner and my course is very fast paced. You don't get alot of time to learn the content.

Has anyone had any similar anxiety to this and if so how did you manage?
