I have an exam, in like 9 hours, and I think I am screwed. I have literally done eveything I can to revise for this exam but I think I am going to fail all the same. It's been so difficult. And if I fail I feel like eveyrone is going to hate me, or think that I am an entire failure, or leave me, or something catastrophic is going to happen. I don't know why I am putting myself through this again, I should have quit education after I (miraculously) completed my degree, but I had the stupid idea to do a masters too, and when this facade falls in and everyone see's that I am actually massively unintelligent I don't know how Im going to deal with it.

No one should hate you for failing an exam, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. For most students that I talk to in classes, exams are usually a weakness for majority of the people. I think it is great that you went on to get a masters, I'm finishing up my bachelors and it's rather difficult for me since school is not one of my strengths in general. Intelligence does not have to be proven by the amount of education someone gets or completes, there are so many intelligent individuals who have succeeded without education so imagine the things you will be able to accomplish.

I'm so sorry to hear that you feel so stressed and faced with so much pressure. I understand what its like for school to become your identity and I know it is difficult to not think like this. But you need to remember that there are so many other important things in life. Doing well in school is no reason for you to be upset with yourself or for someone else to be upset with you. You have already completed your Bachelors and are working on your Masters degree, thats incredible! You should be really proud of yourself.

No one's views of you should change whether you ace or fail an exam especially if you don't know them. And if you do know them then they should be understanding enough to realize that not everybody is the same. Many times I've studied incredibly hard for exams and end up failing. I do my best to not let the thought of what could be effect my performance as it just hinders success.

I also felt so stressed during my study, and to be honest, I still don't know how to deal with it. I tried to prepare as well as possible. I even asked for help with some assignments and homework https://writingcheap.com/ , because I'd like to have more time for exams.
And I have to say, I understand you, but if someone will think about you something bad, it's her/his problem, not yours. You're doing great.
Wish you good luck!
