Just wanna be peaceful
I'm 18. I'm currently studying engineering which is a very stressful major. But even though I get good marks in tests and exams, I can't find the security. I also have certain toxic friends in my life but can't seem to cut them out as I feel that I won't have anyone else. I can't focus on what I've gotten and think that everyone is just so much better off without me

Anju, thank you for sharing part of your story with us.
It's true, accomplishments don't usually heal the space in our hearts that aches... once the elation of success fades into the rest of our days, we're often left right where we began.
Building our own support system is vital! Surrounding ourselves with people who are healthy for our spirits and hearts can make the difference in how we feel about life. Getting involved in the different SubCommunities of 7Cups, and finding a handful of listeners you can trust and connect with, all can give you a really great start.
Engineering is not simple, to say the veryyy least-- I am familiar with the surface of the engineering curriculum, enough to know that it's incredibly rigorous and not for everyone. You are exceptional. But as exceptional as anyone can be, we all need to take care of ourselves and our mental well-being. I wish you well.
