I honestly don’t know if this is a faith issue, anxiety, or both.

A few months ago I failed an exam that really affected me mentally, and since then I’ve been praying constantly about my rewrite/result. The result has now been sent to me, but I still haven’t opened it because I’m genuinely scared of seeing another bad outcome.

Part of me feels guilty because I keep thinking, “If I truly trusted Allah, wouldn’t I just open it without fear?” But another part of me feels like maybe I’m just human and terrified of disappointment.

Has anyone else ever experienced this? How do you separate fear from lack of faith?
