my mind went to a dark place today for the first time

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. my exam results are about to come out soon. i really dream of becoming a doctor, in sha Allah, and i want to go to a good university abroad. then i started thinking... what if i don't get the marks i need? what if i'm stuck living with my difficult parents for another whole year, feeling like a failure with nothing to do? that thought hit me so hard, i genuinely felt like i wouldn't want to live anymore. i know that sounds scary, but it's true. before, when i got sad, i used to wish for the pain to stop, not my whole existence, ya know? but today was different. i actually thought about ways i could end things. i'm really scared by that. please, i beg you, make dua for me that i pass my exams, get into university on my first try, and even get all top marks in my predicted grades. i know Allah is the best of planners, and He says that with hardship comes ease, but right now i honestly can't see a future if i don't get in. i feel bad asking for so much, but isn't Allah capable of everything? He can make it happen, right?

Sis, first take a deep breath. Those whispers are from shaytan, don't give them power. Make sincere dua in tahajjud, it works wonders. Trust that whatever happens, Allah's decree is better for you than your own plans. You’ll be okay, just hold on.
