I’m the eldest daughter, I have too much pressure on me and I got married last year on my parents’ insistence and it’s causing me too much stress now. I’m stuck

Is there a particular reason you feel this way? Did something happen? Like a chain of events?

It’s quite difficult to find ways to make you less anxious without understanding the issue you have but.. things that makes one anxious may normally doesn’t happen in real life. It’s only you who can control your mind…! You can get out of it if you put your mind to it!!!

I've felt this way over the years. I'm 34 now and can tell you that you can come out the other side. I don't know your situation and am absolutely not belittling your thoughts and feelings. It may feel like things won't get better but I'm certain they will, and I'm certain that there are people in your life who would be torn apart without you.
My uncle followed through with this in his 30s. He left behind a shadow cast over the family. Heart break in his children, his mother never the same again, and his siblings too. They felt anger, guilt, immeasurable grief. I don't say this to make you feel guilty for feeling the way you do. I only mean to say that people are usually wrong that no one would care.
Would you like to talk about what's bothering you?

I’ve tried my very hardest. I’ve put my mind all into it, I have seen the beauty of life and wish to experience that again. But my life has been made a mess now due to other people’s involvement and I’m not strong enough to clear it up myself. I am very tired and do not have the stamina to fulfil my goals and dreams, such as continuing my degree course. I want to rest.

I agree with you. However, I come from a culture where a woman’s life decisions are very sensitive. A single wrong decision - the rest of her life and reputation is reduced to pain and shame. And something similar has occurred in my life. My people don’t understand.

I totally understand. Give yourself time to heal and rebuild mentally, emotionally and psychologically. Take a year out of school if you wish to, heal your inner child and stand your ground (not that easy tbh)and remember no one has the right to interfere TOO MUCH with YOUR life.
Speak to your partner if you have a good relationship together and you both should cooperatively work your way towards healing and growth. However if you don't, make yourself happy in your own little/big way (anyhow you know how to) and slowly take the path to healing
Always here if you want to talk.💖

Could I ever be a burden on my partner? I’m afraid I will burn him out emotionally and he’ll lose interest in me because no man wants to waste time on a broken person.

Stop seeing yourself as a burden on anyone. If they make you feel that way then they are not meant to be in your life.
You can't know if you don't try and trust me the real man will be willing to listen and support. ANYTIME, ANYDAY

But my family makes me feel like a burden. My husband doesn’t make me feel that way, but I’m afraid he will burn out.

For the sake of your health and peace, avoid them for sometime (at least till you get yourself together).
You would never know what your husband thinks if you don't explain to him about how you feel/have been feeling. Face your fears as he's the only one that can join/assist you in this journey

I have discussed it extensively with him. But I’m afraid of him losing feelings and consequently me losing him.

Have you spoken to someone close to you about how you feel?
A good friend can be a major help.
Have you been to a therapist? A good therapist can give you some coping techniques to calm down and to organize your life.
You can talk to me on PM once you can.
Do you speak with your husband about your feelings? It actually looks (from what you wrote) that he is supportive.

Did he seem dismissive? Have some faith in your man
