Hey @AcidMonster55 ,
Congratulations on finishing your exams! It's been a bit of a long journey, but you've made it! Well done!
As for the dread and anxiety you are feeling... let's just say it's not so uncommon. After years of rigid study, school, study, school, it takes a while for many students to transition to 'Oh! Where did all this free time come from?' It's like those who have been studying literature/English trying to move away from analysing EVERYTHING! Not sure if you can relate, but after so many years of having to be analytical, it is certainly a transition to just be able to read a book or watch a movie simply to enjoy it!
Then, if you are looking to begin tertiary education next year, you start it all again 🙂
Life is cyclical as they say.
As for the self-help strategies you have described, good on you. Enjoy while you are able.
Once again, well done on achieving this milestone in your life!
