I feel suffocated

...See more Hey guys, This is my first time reaching out for help so let’s see how this goes. My family has high expectations of me especially with school. I was known for doing well in all areas. Until I entered university. I’ve been struggling but they assume I do well. Of all my siblings, I’m the one who shows no weakness. I don’t cry, I don’t complain. It’s eating me alive. I want to cry but cannot. I’m failing but I’m too afraid to confront my parents about it. I know all the answers to my problems but executing it is hard. I’m in my second year of uni, with a low GPA. My whole family as well as extended family look to me as an example for their kids. Pretending to be alright in front of others is really taking a toll on me. My family unaware of this, says comments that really trigger me but again, I show no weakness. Im ruined. I’ve fallen into depression but I don’t show it in front of others. Please help.
