Assalamu alaikum - feeling overwhelmed and need some advice

Assalamu alaikum everyone, I wanted to share something personal because I’m reaching a point where I need some advice and support from people who understand. I’m a third-year student in the UK, and looking for work has been one of the toughest things I’ve faced. In my second year I sent out 453 internship applications. This year for graduate roles I’ve already applied to around 200. Being an international student makes it harder - many employers dismiss you as soon as they see you’ll need sponsorship. I don’t have my parents here, I live alone, my friends are hardly around, and I don’t really have anyone to talk to. I’ve always been introverted, so even telling my parents how bad it’s been feels difficult because I don’t want to worry them. Last year was honestly the lowest point for me. My routine felt like: wake up, apply, get rejected, feel worthless, act like everything’s fine for my parents, sleep anxious, and repeat. It was a loop I couldn’t get out of. One assessment centre last year was a nightmare - my train from Liverpool to London was delayed three times. I ran between stations in freezing rain after hardly sleeping. By the time I got to the office in my suit I was dizzy, shaking, and close to tears. I couldn’t perform well because of everything that had happened. I remember asking myself, Why is Allah testing me this much? I still had iman, but my head was full of negative thoughts like, “I’ll never get a job,” and even, “I can’t keep living like this.” Alhamdulillah, this year has felt better - not because things changed much, but because I shifted my mindset and tried to put my trust in Allah more. I’ve been making an effort to pray Tahajjud, to rely on His plan, and to smile even when it’s hard. I keep reminding myself that Allah is the Best of Planners and that there’s wisdom in this path. Right now it feels like I’m walking toward whatever success Allah has decreed, but with my eyes covered, trusting He’ll clear the way even if I can’t see the destination. Still, I’m only human. I get overwhelmed, lonely, and scared about the future. I’m doing my best, but some days everything feels too heavy to carry alone. So I wanted to ask you all: - What else can I do to stay strong? - How do I balance sabr, tawakkul, and the emotional weight of all this? - How do I keep going without breaking down? Any advice, duas, or reminders would mean a lot. May Allah make things easy for all of us who are struggling. JazakAllah khair.
