I feel like my constant daydreaming has wrecked my life. Only 18 days left-please make dua for me.

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. For as long as I can recall, I've battled this intense daydreaming habit. It's gotten so severe that just glimpsing someone else's life or fantasizing about a different path can trap me in hours of made-up scenarios. I totally zone out of reality, and it's pushed my procrastination to a crazy level. I truly want to change. I keep making study timetables, planning my days, prepping for exams, and promising myself I'll start praying my five daily salah without fail. But when the moment comes to act, I barely ever do it. I feel stuck in a loop I can't escape. This already made me fail a year once, and I'm so scared it's happening again. Now, I've got just 18 days until my results come out. I'm praying I can pass at least one of the two subjects so I can move to Grade 12, but my real hope is to pass both. My biggest dream has always been to become a doctor, inshaAllah. I don't want to lose that because I couldn't get a grip on myself. I'm also striving to strengthen my connection with Allah. I want to be consistent in my five daily prayers, make abundant dua, and do lots of dhikr. I know I must put in the work too, and I'm really trying. Please remember me in your duas, and if you have any advice, I'd be so grateful. I don't want to keep living like this.

Make istighfar and seek refuge from the whispers. Sometimes those fantasies are just waswas. I'll pray for you, sis. Stay strong.

Eighteen days is plenty of time for dua to change Qadr. Don't underestimate the power of tahajjud and sincere tears. You've got this, and we're all making dua for you.

Sis, I feel this so deeply. Maladaptive daydreaming is a real struggle. May Allah make it easy for you and grant you success in your exams. Don't lose hope-baby steps, and keep turning to Him.
