I have an overwhelming case of test anxiety. I recently signed up to take my exam and I wanted to throw up while paying for it. I’m averaging in the 70s - sometimes 80s on Uworld. I took a practice exam and it gave me a “very high chance “ of passing .. but I’m still super nervous. I’ve failed twice but I didn’t study as much as I did this go around. I’m at the point of “whatever I don’t know, I don’t know. What’s important is I know MOST of the material “

I know this is an important exam so a lot of people get anxiety but I’m wondering if anyone has advice on how to cope during the exam. I’m scared I’m going to get in there and the fear will overcome me 😭😭

I met this guy on tinder.. we hooked up a couple times and spoke everyday. As the weeks went on he started taking more time to respond. Now he’ll take like a day or two sometimes.

We knew it would never be an actual relationship as we both just got out of long term relationships.. but i enjoyed talking to him frequently to keep my mind busy.

At first id wait around for his text.. now im happy he texts back but i don’t feel the need to jump on it to respond.

I want to keep him around because I feel like we could be best friends but I don’t know how to say that without looking crazy because a couple weeks ago I told him I had feelings for him. My feelings change quick and reality has hit.. I was latching on since I was in a vulnerable state.

I can feel a disconnect, I can’t tell if we’ve completely hit the friendship stage or if he’s tryna get rid of me slowly

Thoughts anyone ?

I was away for a couple weeks and decided to get on tinder for the first time in years. I spoke to this guy for about a week. We almost immediately got into deep conversations so I felt comfortable meeting up with him.

He told me his life was a mess before getting with him.. lost his job, has kids, baby mama moved out a month ago. We connected with this because I currently live with my ex. This is one of the reasons I decided to try tinder in another state because it’s hard to do anything without being questioned, despite not having a title on the relationship we my ex.

He picked me up and we went on a hike, got coffee and went back to his house. We sat on his couch and got into deep conversations for hours. Since it was my first time putting myself out there I was nervous and said I wanted to leave and he dropped me off. But shortly after dropping me off I changed my mind and asked him to pick me up again lol I liked that he was respectful of my boundaries.

On the second round we spoke then had sex and cuddled naked. I was sweaty but he still ate me out I was embarrassed and asked to shower after. He said he didn’t care but we showered anyways. We got into deep convos all night and cuddled naked all night. He’d wake up occasionally and kiss me.

He had to pick up his kids the next morning and my Airbnb was an hr away so I met his mom and kids before he dropped me off lol

We met 2 more times before I left and it was a similar situation (no kids but deep convo, cuddle naked all night)

I’m a mess.. I caught feelings quick lol I feel like we got comfortable like relationship status in those days, not embarrassed to say we gotta poop and a lot of affection. I also pointed out things that would probably piss people off but he took it well. (Ex: not filling his brita filter up enough, keeping his wipers on after it stops raining, putting on your seatbelt to stop the beeping) We said we’d “break up” the day I left but we’ve been texting since. I don’t know what to make of it.
