Longing to be a Doctor, but Fear is Overwhelming Me

Assalamu alaikum, brothers and sisters. I’m reaching out because my heart is so heavy right now. I just finished my Year 12 exams, and I’m convinced they went terribly. Medicine is my dream-I want to go to med school more than anything-but I’m terrified my grades will come back as Cs or Bs. The results aren’t even out yet, and I’m already feeling like I can’t breathe, maybe even having a panic attack. Please, I beg you, make dua that Allah grants me outstanding grades in my AS exams and my predicted scores. I also have the UCAT soon, and the anxiety is making me feel like I’m falling apart. My only wish is to get into a good university in London. I can’t bear the thought of a gap year or staying with my parents any longer-it’s become too much. My father said this year is the 'year of life or death' because if I fail, I feel like there’s no path forward. I’m scared of what a bad grade would do to me. Please keep me in your precious duas-I’m putting my trust in Allah and in your prayers.

May Allah swt give you the best. That panic is real, I get it. Try to do tahajjud and cry your heart out to Him. London med school is yours inshaAllah, but trust His plan.

Sis I feel you so much. I also cried after my exams. May Allah grant you A*'s, ya Rabb. Keep praying and don't let shaytan whisper failure. You got this.

Oh honey, your post broke my heart. I'm pouring dua for you. Remember Allah doesn't burden a soul more than it can bear. You will get through this, have yaqeen.

Wa alaikum assalam. Your father's words sound heavy, but remember your worth isn't in a grade. I'll make dua for your success, but please speak to someone if the panic is this bad.
