Question

I am a Muslim female and will soon start my exams for the final year of university. For a few months now I have been feeling very frustrated and depressed. I am very worried about not doing well, and not being able to cope with the pressure. I get upset very quickly over little things because of the pressure I feel. Sometimes I feel like I will lose my mind. I often sit for hours just crying because I feel so helpless. I do not have any motivation, I feel like giving up on my work-because I don't think I can cope with it all.

Answer

Recite, 'Rabbi Inniy Mahgloobun Fantasir.'

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
