Honestly, how are you doing?

I'm a sophomore engineering student. I'm struggling with physics (electricity and magnetism) and barely passing. I have one more exam and then the final. The concepts are gradually getting harder and it feels so hard to grasp it. I'm so scared of failing the class and being behind a semester that I kind of numbed myself to that feeling. Even though I kind of numbed myself, I still have this lingering feeling in the back of my head that All this just fuels my anxiety and I get disheartened in my abilities. I might fail. I know I still have a chance to pass and I'm trying. Physics has never been my strongest suit and I'm taking it with a difficult professor. I just want this semester to end.

On the other hand, I have a very caring boyfriend who loves and takes care of me. He accepts my highs and lows and I love being with him. I always get excited when we hang out. Being around him calms my anxiety and makes me feel safe, like none of my worries are worth worrying about.
