face up to the test situation
If you don't face up to the test situation, you may continue fantasizing about it. Playing the ostrich will give you temporary relief, but the terrifying fantasies will keep coming back. They may even assume unrealistic proportions, because you are no longer in touch with reality. Under normal circumstances fantasies about what is in store for you are almost always worse than reality itself.
