Hi
You are feeling nervous about the exam and you have urinary tract infection. The pressure of doing well in the exam combined with urinary tract infection is making you feel anxious and depressed. It is known that having urinary tract infection can increase stress levels. Consult a psychologist and talk about what you are going through. With a psychologist you can talk about thoughts which you are experiencing often.
You want to do well in the exam. It is important to remember that you are an ambitious person and you can do well in the exam. A psychologist will guide you on how you can manage stress that will make you feel confident to do well in the exam.

You are attached to the outcome and not letting yourself be. That is causing the problem. Negating yourself and your existence caused you UTI problems.
Next Steps
You need to ask yourself what is it you really want and what will you accomplish getting that? Also. what will you not accomplish if you do not get that?
For that you need counselling..
Contact me and i can solve your issue in 2 sessions.

Hi
It sounds like you are experiencing performance anxiety or test anxiety.
Try this
1) shift focus from outcome towards process.
- "what do I need to do today?"
2) reduce pressure by noticing when you are thinking in extremes or absolutes.
- thoughts of worry and "what if?" questions can create a lot of pressure. Ask yourself "how likely is this to actually happen? "
3) sleeping better- the above two should be helpful in calming your thoughts and might help with sleeping.
- If however you aren't able to sleep then twenty to thirty minutes before sleeping try some relaxation techniques, deep breathing or just relax your muscles, Progressive Muscle Relaxation can also be used.
4) guided Imagery is helpful in reducing performance anxiety
5) please book an appointment with a mental health professional who can guide you with the above steps.
I hope you find the help you are looking for.
