Afraid of Failure

[u/anuragwhosings]

While preparing for a competitive job exam, which is in mid-February next year, I procrastinated and wasted many months. I have all the material with me, and knowing my potential, if I start from now also, I can get a good score. I am unemployed, so I have lots of time, but the issue is I am afraid of failure. What if cramming stuff won't help now? People who are preparing from months ago will obviously be better than me. I procrastinated, get depressed over, and didn't do anything all this time, what can I do now? From today, I got myself a good room, all materials, leaving all distractions, and studying nicely, but all of a sudden this fear came onto my mind, and I am thinking, What's the use to do this now, which is giving me the urge to procrastinate once again.

Edit:Thank you all for your kind words. I will give my best and not worry.
