Description
stupid comic I barfed out in a few hours this afternoon (ironically I should have been studying at the time)
I have a weird relationship with my anxiety when it comes to exam season. On the one hand it makes me physically exhausted, constantly worrying and not all that keen on social interaction, but on the other hand my overactive guilt complex ('I can't do X while I should be studying') means I do get a huge amount of work done and when it actually gets to the exam it can almost help in a way - yeah I initially feel very shaky and unwell but once I actually get going the adrenaline kicks in and my brain is working at top speed which is obviously rather beneficial in a time-restricted exam. It clears my head and means I only focus on what's in front of me, something that's not helpful in many other situations. Weirdly enough exam season is probably when my anxiety levels are at their lowest - stress levels are at a high, of course, but being so preoccupied with studying means I have no time to get anxious about other things.
I know people have shared/reposted my mental illness artwork on other websites before, and while I have no problem with that - by all means, go ahead! - please don't remove my name from the bottom and wherever possible provide a link back to me, and of course tell me about it! <3

I know that feeling.. when you have something to do and you need to rest really, but you feel like until you have finished whatever it is to do you aren't allowed. I have one of those coming up ;_; But you're right, in a weird way, it helps.
