I suffer from anxiety as well. I don’t reveal anything like that on here tho. I have more..confidence here..but irl I try and just calm myself down. Rather it’s talking to myself, deep breathes, finding a distraction, or even praying..I find it calming..Also uhm..have you tried like essential oils? There are some good oils to help with that to relax. Pretty sure it’s Balance and Serenity. I use a lot of essential oils so that’s just a suggestion. Also I do the same thing. I panic and overthink stuff and make everything worse for myself. It’s hard to go through with things after you’ve made it 10x worse in your head..so I get that. There’s tons of things I do that with..it makes it hard to try new things. And..hate to admit it..but most of the time..I just give up on trying, and shut down. I’m an introvert irl, so I’m at home a lot. Like A LOT. When we’re supposed to go out I usually stay home. And a few days ago I went out for the first time in a week or so or longer..I went into a car, walked in a store, and my brain was just flooded thoughts about being dizzy and all this stuff. Same thing when I go on a plane or I’m in crowded spots. For example. In the hallways at school, you have seniors, freshmen, juniors, and sophomores, walking in different directions all around you. That overwhelms me and I get “whoozy” and weird. And stuff like that. But idk if any of these will work for you. But they sort of help me. I hope they do, and you can pass your exams. Or hopefully other people will have better advice..sorry if I went on a rant about what makes me anxious and stuff. Just found someone I could relate too..

Eh mate. I may be an extrovert most of the time, but when I lose my s**t and panic for literally no reason, I feel you. Kinda just wanna isolate and not talk to anyone. I feel ya man.

I know this isn't going to be the solution you want, but you need to ask real life people for help. If something small like a homework assignment causes a panic attack, I don't think there's much you can do on your own, and you should try to find a therapist or counselour, either by asking your parents, or contacting your school's counselor.
Also, you are NOT burdening people with "small problems", if these problems are effecting your ability function properly. People who care about you will want to help you.

when I'm anxious I learn something new which is why I crochet, knit, am learning norwegian, Hawaiian, piano and I paint a little. it helps me a bit. but I've also experienced learning too much at once. there's a middle ground to find.
