jessica was a student, she was at her wits' end. The pressures of her demanding school works , taking good care of her sibling  had become overwhelming. She felt trapped in a constant state of anxiety, her mind a whirlwind of worries and self-doubt. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't seem to catch her breath or find a moment of peace.
One evening, as Jessica sat on the couch, shoulders tensed and mind racing, her best friend Emily noticed her distress. "Jess, you look exhausted," Emily said, her voice laced with concern. "What's going on?"
Jessica sighed deeply, tears welling in her eyes. "I'm just... so stressed. All the time. I feel like I'm drowning, and I don't know how to make it stop."
Emily nodded in understanding, her expression softening with empathy. "I know how that feels. But you don't have to go through this alone."
