As the title says. I don't know how to cope. I've lost my TC and this attempt is self-funded. A painful move when already financially struggling.

I don't know how to build up my confidence anymore. I constantly feel anxious. But delaying until Jan doesn't seem like the answer, just feels like I am putting off being uncomfortable.

Wish I knew how to cope with it all. Anyone in a similar boat, how did you cope with this? Anything small, major, etc any tips at all?

I would love to do any kind of sports just to be able to get my mind off it, but I can't afford that right now. I go to the gym but I feel like it eats up hours of the day to get ready, go there, use the machines, get back, shower, etc. Feels like wasted study time.

Thanks in advance.

I would love to know what you did differently on your very last attempt.

July is my final try. I re-took FLK1 and FLK2 this January. Weirdly, I improved in FLK1 by 30ish questions. My FLK2 score stayed the same even though I tried completely different techniques.

Any guidance, please? What did you do differently that DEFINITELY helped you?

The Eurostar won't allow me to take my cat. Unfair, he would love Paris due to the rat chefs. But anyway.

Does anyone have any experience with an organisation who could look after him for around a week while I'm gone? I'm an anxious cat parent and would really need to know he's being properly and gently taken care of because he gets scared around new people :(

Ideally within 4 miles of the Bournville area.

Thanks so much in advance.

I mean, it’s not illegal, but getting used to doing this as a way to cope is going to make your life so much harder. It might even make other people’s lives harder if you come on here publicly catastrophising and being filled with such dread and misery.

You’ve made it to the point of SQE2. Many people, including myself, can’t get past SQE1. You’re obviously good. Maybe have a little more faith in yourself. Idk.
