Need Advice To Overcome Anxiety And Stress

Hiya.. I am a 19 years old female, i weigh about 11stone.. I have a history of TB (4yrs ago) and anxiety (current). I am currently sitting my A-level exams biology, chemistry, maths, psychology and need As as I am applying for medicine, plus the fact that I live alone so i am under a lot of stress. Also my diet has never been great, yesterday I ate a can of marrowfat peas and sweetcorn and today my stools have been mushy and dark green. Since then I have started getting a stomachache, headache and feeling very tired (although this could just be me getting paranoid because of the green stools). Thank you :)

Stress during exams is normal. But people who have difficulty handling stress should not be staying alone. They should have people around them. Do you believe in group studies? Group studies help those who cannot handle stress during exams. If you don't like group studies, you should have someone around you with positivity for e.g. your mother could stay with you during exams. One very important thing is to take care of your diet during exams.
