Exam stress and test anxiety can stop you learning, absorbing and applying all the things you know that you know.
No matter how easily you can recall all that information whilst feeling calm, once the exam stress and test anxiety kick in, you can find yourself feeling sick, on edge, going blank, unable to think clearly and a whole array of other overwhelming stress symptoms.
You may get so much stress and anxiety that you can’t think straight to revise, or maybe it’s in the lead up to the test that you can’t sit still, sleep or eat properly. And many people I have helped talk about going blank in the exam room with an escalating sense of panic.

Compulsive overeating and binge eating disorder and problems is marked by periods where you will binge uncontrollably on food (without vomiting or purging).
If you battle with binge eating you may comfort eat or engage in secret eating, yet there will be a feeling of huge compulsion to overeat and binge that drives you and that you may be unable to successfully resist when it strikes.
Compulsive overeating is likely to involve what you consider to be bad or forbidden foods, which the binge eating urge drives you to consume, irrespective of whether you’re hungry.
The many people I have succesfully helped tell me about the overwhelming urge to binge eat, the fear of being ‘discovered’ or seen binge eating, and the guilt and self-loathing that follows an episode. I have known people to avoid social eating situations and eating in front of others for fear that they may lose control in front of others.
So how can you take back control and end your compulsive eating and binge eating symptoms?
Do you struggle with Selective Eating Disorder?
Selective Eating Disorder will mean that you have a very restrictive diet, relying on the same food and unwilling or unable to try new foods. It can mean fear, stress and frustration at meal times and create problems around things others seem to find so easy, like ordering off the menu at a restaurant or going to someone else’s place for food.
And whilst many youngsters go through a period of selective eating, if you are struggling into your teens and beyond then it can have implications for your current and future health as well as creating feelings of anxiety, depression and unhappiness.
So how can you overcome your selective eating disorder and fear of food?

Recently I came across the term ‘the illusion of limited choice’. I’d known the concept for some time as with anxiety and worry, as well as more generally in our lives, it’s a thinking ‘trap’ we often unknowingly fall into.
We can become fixed on a limited number of choices, forgetting that there are many, many other choices we could be making.
In fact, I think it was my Dad who first introduced me to the concept when I was buying my first car.

Recently a client told me that if she didn’t do something perfectly then, in her view, it was completely useless, rubbish and pointless.
It was either 100% or 0%. Black or white. Success or failure.
And the fact is we all want to do our best (usually).
Yet mistakes do happen, things do get missed and life can get in the way.
And having to be perfect all the time is hard work, anxiety producing and can be stifling (after all why start if it may not go perfectly…).
