...See more Hello everyone, I started college about 3 weeks ago , honestly I was super excited at first but after I became anxious, stressful, overthinking... ...and a lot . I'm scared about tests and exams , bc I have to get excellent marks and that's not easy there at all , so I will explain everything to you: I'm studying at school of technology here in Morocco and we study there for two years after every student choose his own path .my path is to continue my studies at engineering, but have to get excellent marks and even the top students there don't get them , hhh I laughing from pain So and after that I have to take one of the hardest test in there , I can complete my studies abroad but money is my only problem, my father's salary under 10$ a month so we are poor poor . And that's hurt me bc I know that they want to see me at a great place but they can't help Two days ago i came home from my classes and when I got home I failed on the floor and cried like I lost someone, I couldn't stop 💔 my father was concerned about me and he took me with his motorcycle and we went to get me something to eat and on tge way he asked why am I like this , I told him how I'm feeling , he told me that I have to try my best and if the results weren't good , it's God will , we have to try and put own trust on God. He comforted me and I felt relieved at that moment, but after that I came back to stress, crying, overthinking, moreover my friend olso felt hopeless, she was hiding her feelings from everyone but yesterday she told me everything, she cried. She know how to hide her struggles and feelings inlike me if I'm struggling it will show on me . Anyway she spoke with me and after that I became worse. But yesterday I had classes until 4pm so I told my dad to pick me up from there and he came , I told him I need to go to tge Beach he didn't tell no , he took me to buy some snacks and then we went to there , we set , we listened to the sound of the waves and we ate our snacks it's was actually a beautiful calm moment. And on our way to home I prayed to God the whole way , I actually felt little better. Students from the second year told me that it's normal to feel like this bc it's your first time at college everything is new , so you'll feel like that , I hope that this is only temporary, I will try my best and pray to good every day . I will olso go out with my father anytime I didn't feel good . I will pray to god to give a chance to study abroad bc it was always my dream. I'll write to you if anything happened good or bad

...See more September 29, 2026 — 4:30 p.m. I’m writing this note to remember how my day went today, September 29, 2026. It’s 4:30 in the afternoon, and I’m at home. It’s just me and my mom here. The rest of my family are all busy with their own things. I’m writing this because I want to remember how my first two weeks at college went. Honestly, it has been really difficult for me to adapt. I don’t know many people there, and I still haven’t managed to make any friends. The environment, the study system, the way everything works — everything feels so different, and I’m struggling to keep up with it. It feels like everything is difficult for me right now. Yesterday was one of the hardest days I’ve had in a while. I had classes from 11:30 a.m. until 5 p.m., and then, at the very last minute, the administration told us that there was going to be a meeting with the director. So I went to the meeting, and it lasted until around 7 p.m. My parents didn’t even know that there was a meeting, and on top of that, my phone had died, so I had absolutely no way to contact my family. When I left, I went looking for the bus I usually take, only to find out that it had already stopped running. On top of everything, both of my feet were injured, and I could barely walk. I felt completely lost, scared, and unsafe. At that moment, I kept telling myself, “Please, God, just let me get home. I just need to find a taxi, a bus, anything — I just need to get on something and get home.” I ended up crossing to the other side of the city, walking a very long distance just to find a taxi. Eventually, I found one and took it. But the taxi dropped me off far from home, so I had to keep walking and walking. At that moment, I honestly felt like I was going to collapse. I finally got home after 8:30 p.m. I was exhausted, my feet hurt so much, and I just felt completely drained. Maybe to someone else, all of this might seem like something ordinary or just a difficult day. But for me, it felt like all the effort I had been making to improve myself and become a better version of myself suddenly disappeared. That horrible feeling came back. I felt like I was back at zero. All the energy I had before was gone. I didn’t feel motivated to do anything anymore. It felt like all my energy had been taken away from me in just one day. And now I’m just trying to process everything that happened.

...See more Hii 👋 I was rejected from medical school and from almost all of the colleges I wanted to get into, despite the huge amount of effort I put in. Because of that, I have completely lost hope regarding my future. I was already struggling with anxiety before, but I was able to manage it. Now, however, things feel different. I literally feel anxious almost every moment, on top of the pressure from the environment I live in. Some people close to me have advised me to live in the moment, but I just can’t stop overthinking and thinking negatively, and it has started to affect me badly. I feel confused, empty, and extremely anxious. Is there any advice that could help me? Or has anyone been through a similar experience, or is currently going through the same thing?
