Sounds like an anxiety disorder.\n\nTake a relaxing bath!\n\nGo on a walk, meditate, breath deeply with eyes closed, sing soothing songs, get plenty of rest the night before, eat noodles and or tuna fish before (at least two hours before).

talk to the person doing the test about your concerns and they can help you with it.  Best thing is to just keep talking to them about something completely unrelated to take your mind off it and don't look.  If you sit there waiting for it then it only makes it worse really try and distract yourself and explain fully what happened to you before to the person.

try to deviate  ur buddy from the painful topic. don't leave the person alone,which might set him/her thinking about the past.watch comical movies.lend buks-trillers, adventure, philosophical, mythology,horror,(romantic 1s r abig no no).try to comfort the person by telling him/ her how special the person  is to you. go for shopping together..remember romantic things shouldn't  brought into the picture. try talking  to parents . drag the person into bright sunlight and talk about various stuff which interests that person.make him/ her forget that they even had  a problem. just make them feel special and happy .good luck  !

I think you are thinking OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder).  people with this disorder focus on different things that they worry about and then have to do an action to fulfill that excessive worry.  So your friend may hate messes and so to decrease that anxious feeling that messes cause her, she cleans to supress that

Tell him to stop crying like a child, and get some help. He is not the only person in this world with that problem.

Well if you want to help him feel relaxed then just take him to a Masseuse or tell him to take a vacation off work you know something like that will help anyone.

First of all, I think it is a great thing that he is currently being evaluated. Sounds like Aspergers is a possibility...in my opinion...but could be several other disorders.\nTo address his needs now...try to give him something to do with his hands (holding something, etc). Explaing 'personal space' by describing a 'bubble' that is around people. He may not enter someone elses bubble without their permission...but explain what he can do...shake hands, wave, hi-five. Try to remain positive and give lots of good feedback when he soes something desired...rather than lots of negative when he does something wrong. But, in order to do that you need to explain the 'rules' of what is appropriate more than once. You can even try coming up with a behavior modification system, (for example, stickers for each 10 minute period with positive behavior). I wish I could help more, but with a limited knowledge of the situation, this is the best I can do.\nOnce he is evaluated you will have the benefit of a team to work directly with him and possibly you to help him integrate into the classroom.\nGood Luck

Massage. Or a visit to a hot-tub, or some other relaxing event. Those of us studying for the bar (me included) are under massive stress, and just the physical de-stress is a significant benefit.\n\nIf you're looking at tangible study aids, ask him. Everyone studies differently, and what helps one person study may not help another.\n\nBut the most important are humor and support. Reminding him to laugh, telling him how much you love him, even just a deep hug and a kiss every morning reminding him how proud you are of him, the little things that make each day better -- these are all priceless.

they feel insecure, that's why they need a great deal of assurance. \nlisten to him/her, don't cut him/ her down or use logic to rationalize with him/her @ this moment. he/ she need you to listen to him/ her.\nthen give him/ her a hug & assure her/him that you'll be there for her/him.\nstay by his/her side, til he/she calms down. then encourage him/ her further.

Hey Sneha, I have exams too... whenever you feel really pressured, just remember that you're not the only one, there are lots of others taking exams too, and you're not alone. Take short breaks in between studying and do something else where you don't require much thought, even if it just means closing your eyes and relaxing for 10 mins. Eat and drink healthy. And last, but not least, remember that in the event that you don't do as well as you thought you would, it's not the end of the world. Don't let this thought stop you from working hard this time, but remember, there's always a next time! Good luck!

You almost answered yourself, it's not you that's irritating him, so don't worry, unless you're not understanding and supportive.... With all that stress he's in, all with the finals and graduation and work, it's not unusual that he's irritable and touchy most of the time !! Stress could make a person angry, nervous and sensitive, it affects the nervous system... So don't worry, it's not you, just be there for him as supportive when he's irritated and be there for him when he needs a breather with the girl he loves..... It will pass !!

Aww that's terrible, to me it sounds like he's the one with all the problems and you're going out of your way to be friends with him.  He's being abit patronising and maybe it means he needs to grow up abit, so maybe there isn't anything you can do at the moment except explain to him again all this from your perspective.  When he does degrade make sure you defend yourself, and even if you're not right maybe you can give the thoughts you had that made you think that way.  But it's not an exam, and please don't let him make you feel bad and I really hope it works out!

a lot of stress builds on a person before he takes a test. The stress builds up during the test. Because of the stress the person becomes fatigue. Advice: Spend five minutes before the test in worry mode and let it all out.

he's probly got a chip on his shoulder from the move..he's probly going thru more than you know...so just be kind, try to talk to him and be a good friend...that's what he probly needs the most.  see if he wants to study together sometime and try to feel him out that way... be direct about it. just go up and talk to him. welcome him to the school and community.  you can do it!  good luck.
