trevalda [Registered User] 10 October 2021 21:03	PhD viva in two days, can't sleep. User: trevalda - 10 October 2021 21:03 Hello, I am sorry to be a downer on here but I have my viva in two days. I am having panic attacks everyday and I am unable to get any sleep. I feel like I am going to mess up under the pressure and look stupid in front of my examiners. I've been sat in my bed under the sheets crying for the past hour and I am unsure how to get myself together before the exam.
