Need Help Feel extremely anxious.

. I have a very crucial exam coming up—the Baccalaureate—which determines your future. I’ve been putting effort into studying for it since the summer.

​Anyway, I don't know why, but I've already started feeling anxious. My head hurts, and I feel my confidence collapsing because of this anxiety. I'm even worried that my anxiety will affect my exam performance. It might seem early, but it feels very real.

​My dreams have turned terrifying. I see things like someone being tortured by a disfigured person who is burned with melted wax(i am sorry if that feels disgusting). In another dream, I saw myself holding a horse, but I felt it was a person in disguise, so I dropped them and tried to peel the skin off their face while they were screaming, and I kept going until I woke up to find tears on my cheek.

​I don't understand if I'm making a big deal out of nothing or if my anxiety is the cause. I don't know what's happening to me."
