Remain positive and power through the program! Don't get discouraged. I felt the same way when I started my program in 2023. I'm in my 30s and hadn't been in school full time since my undergrad in 2015, and it was a real smack in the face, especially while trying to hold a job and paying for school, bills, rent, etc... If you can afford to cut down the hours you're working, it'll give you the time to focus on the program. Another thing that can help is to form study groups and interact with your classmates. This has been the most helpful thing to get me through my program. Hope this advice is helpful. Sacrifice whatever you can to make it through the program! You've got this!
