Hey everyone. My final exam for my masters degrees is in two days. I basically have to do a 30 minute pitch about a project I’ve been working on for two years. I have no interest in this project, it’s purely mandatory but I’ve still worked my ass off and I’ve submitted every necessary document to get my grade, but the oral exam is mandatory and is crucial to pass and graduate. 

I get massive panic attacks just rehearsing, I run out of breath, gag and feel like passing out. I’ve had a shitty time and this school and technically that diploma doesn’t mean much coming from this school but it could secure me a decent paying job. 

I have no idea what to do. I’m thinking of ditching because I can’t stand the idea of speaking during 30 minutes in front of a jury. I don’t think I’ll even be able to make it since I can’t even rehearse without crying and almost passing out.

I just really need advice and comfort.

(please don’t tell me to do breathing techniques and relax, thank you)
