I am constantly worried about the future . I ' m in a science degree that constantly gets the reaction Oh , I had friends who got that degree , now they are working in something completely different because the couldn ' t find jobs . I ' m just over halfway done my degree and I have no confidence for the future . Sometimes I think that if I don ' t get anywhere comfortable with my degree , I might just end it all . I ' ve put so much effort into everything and I ' m getting tired . I ' m afraid I won ' t be able to stand overwhelming disappointment if all this effort has been for nothing . The only thing stopping that train of thought is my love of my friends , mother , and boyfriend . Spare some encouraging words for a constantly anxious mind ?
