I'm overwhelmed.
I feel like I'm drowning.
It's too much too fast.
Test after test. I fall behind in one class and then try to catch up but then end up falling being in another class.
Constant self-doubt. "Can I do it? Can I get an A?" I ask myself every. Single. Day. My head is always heavy.
I can't sleep. But I get so stressed out that I get tired and then can't do my work either.
I'm just a ball of stress being squeezed tighter and tighter with each passing second. I can't fail. I can't freakin' fail!
The tutor doesn't help. I feel even more stupid.
Can I succeed? Is it even worth trying now?
It's too late! It's too late! I should have started last week!
All hope is lost...
But it is really?
I need to breathe.
Oxygen in... Carbon dioxide out. Once, twice, there we go.
I can do it. I just need to focus.
I need to sleep.
I need to reach out to my professor.
I'll go to class. I'll take notes. It will be okay.
I can do it.
I can get an A.
I can get into med school.
I am not stupid.
I am smart.
I'm doing great. I am working, I am breathing, I got this.
The semester is almost over. I will take it one day at a time.
I can reach out for help. No one thinks I'm stupid.
I am capable. I am strong. I am smart.
I got this.
Oxygen in, carbon dioxide out.
