During An Exam :(

I had a flashback during an exam today. It was so bad I started bawling, and I just turned in my empty paper, and walked out. I was a wreck. It sucked. And I don't see my counselor for another week. This sucks!
 
You are not alone. I did similar during one of my finals at University. That sucked too!

I was undiagnosed, completely in denial that anything was wrong with me, and didn't have a T.

It's a long time ago now. I failed that paper but I still passed my degree (just), since there was my dissertation and a couple of other exams.

Look into the possibility of resitting your exam. I hope it works out for you. All any of us can do is our best, so try not to beat yourself up over it. But you are so right, PTSD does suck!
 
Oh wow, how I relate to this thread. I had an exam recently and had many flashbacks in the two hours. I cried so much, and just wanted to run, but then I was scared too because the doors were slamming all the time outside and so I couldn't leave. It was really hard. I applied for impaired performance. Talk to your disability co-ordinator if you have one. They are usually understanding... I really am hoping this doesn't affect my grade because I certainly didn't do enough in the exam to do well enough, however, usually in circumstances like these they look at all your other marks over the year and determine what you would probably get had you not had that happen. Hope things work out, for both of us. Hugs.
