...See more I'm in the middle of finals right now and I am so stressed. I keep thinking that I'm going to reach a point of extreme burnout before I've finished all my exams and I'm going to do badly. There's so much and I just feel so tired of it an I'm only halfway. Everything just feels so overwhelming at this point and I want to do my work but I can't find the motivation. I've tried just starting but I just quit halfway. I don't know anymore.

...See more So we got our test marks and exam marks today at my school and to put it simply I feel like a failure. I didn't fail but they weren't my best and I just feel so distraught because I really tried so hard and then this happens. I know I shouldn't compare but when I look at my peers' results, they did so good and I'm just trying not to let my disappointment show. I don't know how to stop hyperfixating on the situation and the numbers. I feel like a disappointment because how am I going to succeed if these are the types of marks I'm going to be getting. I don't know, I just feel tired i guess..
Will this be better one day?

...See more Uhm so I'm kind of grieving process of my last relationship and even though numerous people have said It will get better, i just...need to know that it actually will. That it won't feel like I'm drowning when I think of them, one day. I just need to know that it will get better. If it does, please share how cause I keep trying to keep busy or "pass the time" but idk. I just need to know that it won't hurt someday.

...See more Ever since I broke up with my ex, there's just been this moments of feeling like my heart is drowning. It was worse at first but thankfully it's gotten better but for the past few days, my mind just keeps running back to our memories and I feel like I don't have the mind to figure out how to move on from this yk. I know that the whole process is not a straight line cos grief shows up randomly but I just wish i knew better how to get through this because I don't know. I just wish to know that this will pass, I guess.
Not sure what happens now..

...See more Hey, so recently I had a mental breakdown that absolutely wrecked me. That was a few days ago and I've tried my best to stay ok bit I'm not gonna lie, i have no idea where to go from here because I can't just act like nothing happened seeing as not resolving what's bothering me is what got me here in the first place but I don't have a clue of what to do next.
I don't know..

...See more So recently I feel like there's been so much negative energy about my relationship and yeah I get that u shouldn't let people opinions bring you down but I keep feeling so anxious about it and I don't know how to stop. I feel so anxious about the fact that I am anxious and sometimes I'm like when is this going to end cos it's an ongoing battle. I've tried so hard to not let my mind control me but...idk. it's just so much and I feel like I can't deal yk.

...See more So.....my partner is a chill and nonchalant person like me tho I'm an overthinker. Being an overthinker in a relationship would mean that u would most likely need constant reassurance but i don't think my partner gets that. I've talked to him about how I feel like our relationship is kind of one sided even though I know it's not but I don't know how to prove that to myself unless he does something abt it. We're also semi-long distance rn which is hard as it is so yeahhh...
