                                              Haley was an A-student who was used to getting high marks on her tests and papers. 
She had always been a great student, so when she got her first C+ on a paper she was devastated. 
She felt like she had let herself and her teachers down, and her confidence began to plummet.
She felt like she was in a fog, unable to focus on her classes or even the things she used to love doing. 
She was tired all the time, and all she wanted to do was stay in bed and avoid the world. 
She felt so helpless and alone, and she had no idea how to get out of this dark place.
One day, she was walking to class and saw a flyer for a support group for students struggling with anxiety and depression. 
She was hesitant at first, but then decided to give it a try. 
After attending a few meetings, she found that talking with others who had similar issues helped her to feel less alone and more hopeful.
Slowly but surely, with the help of her support group and a few caring teachers, Haley began to feel better. 
She realized that it was ok to make mistakes, and that she was still a capable and capable student.
Haley found that she was able to find her way out of despair and back to her old self, with the help of understanding and support. 
She was grateful to have found the help she needed, and was thankful that she didn't have to suffer alone.
