true fear

I ain't skerd.... That's how I usually respond when someone asks me what I am afraid of. Today, I think I actually experienced true fear.
I took my Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam this morning. I felt pretty prepared going in, but I left nearly in tears. I think that was one of the most brutal experiences of my life up till now. I've been through a lot over the years to get to this point and the realization that I am completely uncertain as to whether or not I passed this test, has had me on edge all day long. It can take a few days or few weeks to get the results and I'm not sure I can take it...
I am just praying, hoping or whatever to whomever that I actually passed. I would have liked to have done well, but at this point, just a pass will suffice.
For now, I guess I'll try to ignore the urgent need to vomit or the intense bugs under the skin anxiety that I'm feeling. Maybe I should take up substance abuse or something to pass the hours... What's your drug of choice???

Well seeing as how you asked, in a high anxiety state I wouldn't recommend anything too intense. I would self medicate with maryjane at this point, even trying not to drink too much, keep that for the result which will be champagne! It is not a test of you as a person, just some other bozo's test of whether you fit the role, so don't worry, roll up a big fat skookum and listen to some music and sit on the stairs and maybe paint your toenails or a design your next tattoo,
