Doubting my pharmacy ability

Hello guys, Im new here. Ive recently graduated with a B.A. in psychology, however Ive worked as a CPht for the past 7 years and was convinced I should try to get into pharmacy school. Ive never been a math whiz but im good in biology and fairly good in chemistry. Right now, my physics class is kicking my @ss and Im dreading the road to calculus because I took a placement test and choked. I have really bad test anxiety and seem to choke only on the stuff im not good at and it makes me doubt my baility to get into pharmacy school. It seems I get hung up on anything math related. I looked over the pcat though as well as pharmacy related math and Im ok. Does anybody else experience this feeling of just sucking and maybe you should go into something else? I had to quit my job this semester just so i can focus on my courseload, algebra, phsyics, inorganic chem, and bio 1510. Any words of advice/encouragement?

Yeah, I'm a terrible test taker. Like, when I mean terrible, I mean I have severe anxiety, where I don't sleep, eat, or talk until I'm done with the exam. I went through the major suckage period last year, when I found out just exactly how challenging my course load was. Organic chem w anatomy, physics, microbiology, and second semester add on biochem....not easy. I attempted to change my major to biochem or microbiology, but I couldn't bring myself to do it because I didn't want to be in either field. So to answer your question, you aren't the only one. I've definitely thought about switching, but I couldn't ever go through with it.

When you get knocked down, just get up and try again. Like what most people here say to those of us who think we can't do it: Where there is a will, there is a way.I mean, look at me, I have an interview!

Jeez, you should get a medal for that course load. Yeah, my fiance is trying to cheer me up, Im sure youve experienced these "modd swings" where your like "YEAH! lets do this" and its a day before an exam or the day you find out you bombed a test your like "Oh ****, what did i just do?" IT SUCKSS!!!!!
