Post-exam spiralling

I cannot stop worrying and keeping myself up at night thinking about exams. I feel sick to my stomach all the time just thinking about all the ways my exam could've gone wrong and I can't sleep. Does anyone know what I can do. I know people day "it's out of your hands now worrying won't change anything" but I can't stop I try so hard but at night its so quiet and all I can think about is how badly I've done. If I don't get theses grades on my first attempt I can't do honours. Im so scared I feel like my life is over. I revised so hard but I always screw it up in the exam when I panic.

The GPA grading system at this uni is awful. Not only is it unnecessarily confusing but it's also unfair. Say a C3(12/22) is a 50% and a C2(13/22) is 54%. If a student gets 53% they will only get a C3 (12/22). While this might not be a problem for one assignment, when the assignments get added together there is a significant rounding down of the percentage since final grades are determined based on GPAs for each assignment. Correct me if I've gotten the grading system wrong but does anyone else think this is totally unfair.
