Hey welcome to 
I'm not really experienced enough to offer help but some of the veteran growers will be along at some point.
You really need to provide a bit more info for help.
Auto or photo?
What type of media are you growing in?
Are you feeding anything yet?
How often are you watering?
Try not to panic, she doesn't look too bad and she's not going to die, they are a weed and pretty resilient.

Do not use the thumb method. While that top few inches may be dry....the bottom of the pot can still be wet. The dry cycle in soil is just as important as the wet cycle.

I don't know how to link it but search for The proper way to water a potted plant by Emilya.
Read it all and follow her advice.
I wouldn't be surprised if your problem is just down to overwatering.
Overwatering is probably the most common mistake growers make.

You're welcome. We are all here to help however we can. Good luck.
You could create a link to the message thread the same way you can make a link to your grow journals.
I found a good way to tell is by the weight of the pot. You will start to know just by feeling if it’s dry if not. You want it to dry out nicely between watering. You will also start seeing A SLIGHT droop in the leaves which indicates it’s time to feed. When you do water it, give it a good watering. And then do it all again

I normally use the droop of the leaves to know it's time to water. But I would not suggest that method to a newer grower. In my opinion....lifting the pot is the best method.
It is the way gardeners have been growing plants in containers for forever. Really is more accurate than sticking your finger someplace it does not belong.
What do you mean by 'regular' soil?
It has no perlite that I can see.
Can we see the bag it came in??

It looks like soil-less media to me. Like coco or spagnum peat moss. Usually packaged soils have some perlite for drainage and are a darker color.
Peat mixes and coco are generally a reddish color.
Do you remember any of the ingredients on the bag at all? I'm not sure which medium you are actually using.
