Hi!

I am currently in college, studying computer engg. I have a major problem when it comes to studying:

I feel this massive surge of negativity in me when I begin studying. If not immediately, it takes 10-15 mins to attack me. I feel miserable, awful and unhappy when that happens. Studying becomes a drag and I seem to drag through it only under the "fear" of not "making it" in an exam. This affects all my relationships as I become incredibly mean and awful towards people, probably taking out all that negativity on to them.

I guess it's because of this intensely competitive atmosphere here and because I've failed miserably and not met people's expectations in the past.

How is such a problem do be dealt with?
