Test anxiety.

My end of grade tests are in two days and I am panicking. I haven't done anything except eat mints and curl up in a ball for the past 30 minutes. I usually get test anxiety, but nothing like this, I feel like I'm going to fail the test, I feel like everything I did was worth nothing, and I feel like I'll be clueless when it comes to the test. I am so stressed and anxious right now and I can't handle it. How do I get rid on this anxiety?

Try and find a quiet, safe place. Breath deeply and focus on the sensation of each inhalation and exhalation of the breath. Don't try to change your breath, just focus on the physical sensations. When your catch your mind wandering, gently nudge it beck to the breath. Try this for a few minutes a few times a day.

If your anxiety continues, you may need to consider speaking with someone. Try not to let the stress keep you from actual studying. That will only bring more stresss.

Be strong.

Just pass the word on (if it in fact helps)! That will be more than thanks enough.
