I'm defending my thesis in 20 days and the anxiety is getting to me and i'm not to sure how to deal with it. When i'm in a crisis I always feel cool and only after it was over did the emotions rush back but here i've got nothing to do but wait. I'm scared i'll screw up and blow this like I've blown things in my personal life. I just really want all this to be over.

Good luck! :cheers:

I defended last year and I was freaked out before I defended, too. Just remember to practice. Getting together a group of fellow students to act as stand-ins for your committee and holding a mock defense can help catch any problems and prepare you ahead of time. Congratulations!

I don't know if this will help... But just remember your thesis isn't your personal life... I hope that doesn't come off rude...
