Mental Health

I am not able to think and focus during the pressure situation. From the last 5 years, I have given several exams and even participated in the competitions, but just to the pressure situation and time bounded exam, I often make mistakes and land up getting less marks in exams and loose the compeition. Side by side it is also affecting my future goals as I am not getting better marks to get into good colleges for higher studies. In this competiton driven world, it is very important for me to overcome this weakpoint of mine as early as possible so that I can make a better career and achieve my goals. Please guide me with the same how can overcome this problem.

Last year before Diwali, i witnessed a very stressful event which was very uncomfortable, shocking and couldn't believe on what happened. My mom had heart attack for two times in span of 4 days. She recovered via angioplasty but her wellness didn't brought life back in me. I Started having panic attacks at night and sleepless night and that continued for 2-3 months atleast. I didn't seek any professional help because i didn't wanted to take any medicines. I started recovering slowly with time. Gone through various mood troubles and cried hard whenever i felt. Although today i am able to sleep and eat well but I still find the event disturbing. I feel like something is wrong with me. I feel like my psyche has been affected somehow . I feel the frustration at times. I don't understand what is troubling me deep down inside. I tried various ways to process my emotions but i think i am failing at that. What should i do to heal my past? Is professional help necessary for me now?

I'm under treatment for that for the past 5 years. I always wanted to be a cricketer. 3 years ago I joined a cricket academy. I injured my acl soon after. So I was unable to continue there. I need to get operated for that. Since money is a big issue for us, I has been taking a lot of time for surgery. Now I planned to get operated within 2 months. After that I wanna join the academy soon. Cricket is my life and I'm mad about the game. I haven't played in any big tournament so far. It is impossible to become a cricketer starting at this age. I need to create history. I don't know how should I do it. Please provide me some valuable advice.Ty.
