And does help you set your foot through the door

#

this is an overstatement tbh. it depends on what you're learning

#

like really ask yourself

#

what org experience do u want to do

#

or is it just general volunteer job

#

cuz quite honestly if u list out "I volunteered to help the homeless" it will be seen as irrelevant

#

i think the reason why shes against you on this topic is because u have not made it clear what your intention is

#

and at this stage, tripple As can bring you to more places than B B C with some vonlunteering on the sideline

#

grades usually matter for first job

#

in uni ive been tryna get good grades but my dads been nagging me not to focus solely on academics

#

internships extracurriculars

naive skiff
#

the jobs usually arent like yay you helped homeless, screw everything join us

#

if they know you have relevant exp

#

can do work

#

someone with really good experience but avg grades vs someone with high grades but no exp

#

both have their chances

#

Emphasis on good experience being related to the job not gving out food for free

i was able to obtain one sponsorship with a big-time makeup company in my country for an event that one of my committees had, turns out, my mother knew the owner

man I have three big tests next week monday

#

I am so stressed and like idk how to manage my time

#

each of them are like atleast an hour, so its basically like an exam

# slate sky I am so stressed and like idk how to manage my time

You need to start by getting rid of that stress because its contributing to your time-management, realise the importance of the tests and find out what you need to focus on and start getting on with studying it, even if you feel ready you should study because it gives you a sense of peace alsooo having tests or even exams doesn't mean you dedicate your life and soul to studying so make sure you're treating yourself in between too though but not completely spoiling yourself that you end up being unprepared, order yourself food that you like or get up and set up your workspace those little things will motivate you and well personally I dont do this but I know it helps alot of people but you can always plan out something like a mini timetable on what you need to get done by what time and try to act upon it

#

To ignore your stress think of being able to fight the tests and doing amazing on them and really putting in the effort that'll overweigh the difficulty of the tests, treat the test as a piece of paper like it has no control over you but dont overdo it where your like cool the test doesnt matter 😭 and let yourself know that its okay to make mistakes it happens alot and the whole purpose is to learn from them and study with friends or something so you have support on your side but really its okayyy you'll do great its all about how much you trust yourself and you know the whole server's here to support you and help you through everything you can always ask us and remind yourself your not the only one feeling this way having to go through this but theres others too and think about what advice you'd give them if they asked you the same thing and instead of THINKING about that advice instead ACT upon it

Persuading My Family to Embrace My Computer Science Passion: Seeking Advice

proven rover
#

I was planning to finish this oct/nov by taking math A2 and CS A2. But it looks like that will be hard as there are no teachers who will be teaching these subjects in this session. And they keep telling me that it is impossible.
Now idk what to do, I'm already 18 and staying for next m/j will make more late and I will enter uni while I'm 20.. (I will not be able to enter straight away as results for m/j will be in August and deadline for uni application will be in July, I will have to wait for spring semester that starts in april)
For a second I said to myself it's ok I will take the subs with self studying but here comes another problem... I'm not confident about how I did in last m/j tbh.
I took physics a2, Math as, CS as and German.
I'm confident about German and math, but not really about cs and physics.
I'm scared that I will have to retake something.. will I be able to retake physics a2 and study math a2 and Cs a2??

@proven rover First of all don't worry about being 18 and evth. Don't set it as a limit for yourself. No book says that can't be over 19 for starting uni or smth. My sister is 19, took a gap year after a levels, is currently preparing for her mdcat and going to turn 20 this august. She'll give her mdcat after she's 20 and like next year, hopefully, will get admission into sum good university so chill out. About not having teachers, you could organise for personal tution. Seriously it helps alot. I been trying to convince my younger sister for tuition for over a year and we finally arranged a tutor for her these summer vacations, and she's so thankful and finally able to see that she's a year behind everyone in her studies. If that's not possible you could join an academy or look up for study groups. I myself am going through something similar. I gave A2 physics this may/june. Not satisfied. I'm preparing again in case I do not get a good grade. And I'm thinking about arranging study sessions with some AS friends I had in school since they'll too be giving a2 now so I'll see. Take a look through your resources and what you can get access to, then do what's best possible for you.

#

@radiant karma I just know you really really need to take computer science ASAP. Not sure how you'll convince your family. Also not sure why people are so forceful on their child in these matters. You should be given complete free will in that. But your friend is very right give chem as a side sub and computer science as a main. Maybe that will convince your family. But I see the problem is bigger than that. Also don't walk with the burden of getting wasted your time or money or age because so many students do that and it not what matters just puts unnecessary burden on you so don't worry about that. But you need to look for like a tutor or a friend or smth maybe join an academy or a study group to keep up w/ computer science and cover what you weren't able to. Also you can take like a 6 months gap kr smth of u need extra time to prepare for computer science cuz trust me at college level, (or high school whatever) so many students have to do that including myself and my sister so chill out don't stress. It's hard to make good choices at this level and easy to mess up, so you do need the time to readjust so give yourself that and don't stress. Also take computer science asap as one of your main subs

@river ore you're literally overthinking. First of all, stop overthinking. Most of your problems are just the product of you overthinking like that. I totally relate. I've been labelled the "intelligent sibling" and all that and I was that for a big part of my life until I just wasn't. Guess the corona virus ate my brain out kr smth cuz that's where I messed up. And Now I'm at the point where I'm telling my family to not scold me if I get Cs in my final result when I was an A* student once and they still see me as one, but little do they know I'm not what they knew me as anymore sadly. And that I'll be preparing for a 'just in case ' retake during the vacations. And I understand it's very sad. But don't stress. You're literally stressing sm. Take things a bit lightly and so hard. They're literally not as hard as our brain sees them then reacts by freakout. It's a step by step process. I tell myself 'one step at a time' when I'm stressing like that and not 'everything all together at once' iykwim. Chill out a bit.

#

not so hard*

@proven rover yes I hope too. Wish you good luck in that. Maybe keep me a bit updated with what happens next if possible n if u like cuz I'd like to see u succeed

I think u alrdy got the memo but my two cents as someone whos been thru similar things, never listen to ppl who say something is impossible , if u believe in something u chase it and give it ur 100% thats how u avoid regrets and thats how u succeed , try ur best and grind ur heart out and see what happens , never confine urself to ur age. Not just for uni , in general its never too late to do anything , there r ppl who go to uni at literally any age from 20 to 35 , everyone’s life is different , its about doing good in whatever u do , so u put aside this age crap and focus on doing good work to end up in good places , that way ur gonna end up happy and successful , never let others set u a limit , u know whats best for u so do it. Good luck and u got this.

# slate sky A2 maths, physics, computer science and AS economics

Ok so straight to the point, u clearly do not have the time to understand all concepts of all chapters cuz even if u try you'll understand nothing. I actually have kind of a useful advice. This is for A2 P4 (not P5). For physics (and maths as well ig) literally memorise all the formulas and definitions from the chapters that are coming because like 70% of physics questions in physics are formula based. And then all questions come w/ like one or two definition parts carrying like 1,2 or 3 marks max, so only from the formulas and the definitions, you'll be able to gain at least like 55 to 60%? on a single test paper. Did this myself When I was in a similar situation as u. Go through past paper questions, especially of recent years like 2020-2023. Search out what chapters and what questions are frequently repeated and just memorise those. Like definitions, formulas and evth about them. Leave out most of the explanation questions that demand sum background understanding and concept amd stuff. This method is for end time prep and it honestly works. Saves u from failing at least. Also this is the best time to skip the book and go through your personal notes as well as znotes. Hope this helps. Try it out. Works for physics at least. Didn't study the other subs, so can't comment on that. And good luck!!

slate sky
#

but yeah I have memorised the definitions for almost all terms but like I struggle to do many Cambridge questions as they usually have a complicated scenario

serene mica
#

Do the formulas

naive skiff
#

who's sad today

naive skiff
#

self studying can work

#

you have znotes to help you or get some help whenever you have a question

#

get it answered and dont pile it up

#

i self studied my 12th as well

#

well i took tuitions to solve some Q and As and online yt vids to learn the topics

#

demotivating yourself will only cause failure

#

and going to uni at 20 aint bad

#

i have peers who are like 22 23

serene mica
#

Yes they are definitely complicated and require clear and complete background understanding and obv u can't get all concepts clear in your brain in like a day, so this method is just for test prep in a day ykwim. Forget about the complicated scenario questions. If u can do like 2-3 parts of each question using just formulae and definitions, you're good. You'll get like 55% . I think it can do just for the test. Remember to study om time next time I guess

Hmmmmm bro i am going to say from personal experience of someone who self studied a2 physics and a2 cs it is very possible you have time left for oct nov so till then dont give up and study with all your might. Its more than enough time tbh and if ya need any resources or help with any topic or questions. Ping me or any helper in the subject channels we will for sure help and if you need resources ask i will send ya stuff i used to study alright. Dont give up you can do it for sure so i wish you luck on your studies and hope you pass with flying colours 🔥

#

And also if you wanna know how long i had to self study physics and cs

#

It was one months 💀 and it was possible

#

Its all about the mindset

I kinda regret my subject stack; I have a messy mix of both sciences and humanities due to my chronic indecisiveness (English, Eng Lit, History, Sociology, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics) and I regret only taking 1 language since I know 2 others and it'd be nice to have a record of my fluency. I'm also dealing with a lot especially my dad kinda dying soon and me still doing GCSEs at 18 and all this shit makes me feel like I'm stupid. I can barely study and I just want to sleep all day until I feel like a person again.

# mystic loom I kinda regret my subject stack; I have a messy mix of both sciences and humanit...

Hi, I want you to take this step by step and BREATHE for a while. Things will turn out fine but you have to take care of yourself too. I know dealing with a parent being sick is really hard and managing other things especially studies is so damn hard cuz we don't have that focus anymore but be it whatever you're doing don't lose yourself and with whatever combination you are doing your igcses it's fine, let it be and don't regret things just don't repeat the same mistake in A levels okay! Also, it's pointless to keep pushing yourself low and ending up in a pile of guilt. Everything happens for a reason I know I'm saying all generic philosophies but it's true. And life will get better if you start trusting yourself more and not giving up. You need yourself right now, you are tired of everything, every single thing. Just do whatever you feel like will help you be yourself again and try not to be your biggest enemy for once

#

You aren't trash, you're a work in progress

#

A beautiful one

#

You're just blinded by the negativity for now but hey you're meant to rise back again

#

Do not lose trust in yourself, and like any painting even if you are a mess right now, things will and are going to make sense eventually

So chin up bestie and make the whole place shimmerrr ✨✨

Hey thank you, it means a lot to me. I'm just pretty bummed out since I had to drop out of formal school due to severe mental health issues and I've been homeschooling myself ever since. So no teachers, no mentors, just raw-dogging these exams haha. I've been super worried of spiralling again so I've been making sure not to, but doing anything productive is just super difficult atm. My dad wasn't the best, but I still miss him and it hurts seeing him in pain.

I haven't been studying as much as I've wanted to; I went through a feverish 6 month phase where I did 6-8 hour days without weekends but in hindsight; I was being an absolute workaholic and trying to distract myself from dad's worsening condition. It got so bad that sometimes I'd pull multiple all nighters or study when drinking and maybe the fact that I'm not doing that now is a good sign haha. I'm in that burnout phase, but I really hope to get studying soon; I actually really enjoy it and it's relaxing to me, it's just hard to start. Thank you again for your encouragment, I hope things do get better soon.

unreal shadow
#

instead focus on what options you have in front of you right now or what you can do right now

#

and I hope your dad gets better soon

unreal shadow
#

I suggest you focus on finishing the tasks at hand rather than how long you study

#

and if you don't already, make sure to exercise every day, no need to go to the gym every day just anything to get your blood flowing

#

i can not stress that enough

#

and in my opinion, one mustn't distract themselves from the pain rather feel it and endure it to the best of your ability; I understand that it is a hard time considering your father's health condition, my prayers are with you and your family

alpine hatch
#

I can't see the positives bc I don't rlly see the point of living 😭

glossy pewter
#

You are just about to finish uni

#

And start life

alpine hatch
#

One of the reasons why I will never be in a relationship is bc I'm too individualistic

#

Bro don't even have enough self love to begin with 😔

#

First I need to find that someone🗿

glossy pewter
#

Till then wait man pepehands

#

Thats all you can do

alpine hatch
#

I mean I care about them

#

But idk

#

Love is a strong word

glossy pewter
alpine hatch
#

I never understood the word love

glossy pewter
#

The ones who nurtures you

glossy pewter
#

Am sorry

alpine hatch
#

Not my mom

#

My dad maybe

#

Idk I don't even love myself so

glossy pewter
#

Try loving yourself my guy

#

Love yourself

#

Do you look ugly like me or something 💀

glossy pewter
# alpine hatch

Yeah thats fine i get called ugly a lot too pepehands but i still loved myself

#

Cause there isnt a single person alive who looks like me

#

I am special

#

One and only

#

Think like that

#

Thats a form of self love

alpine hatch
#

I mean I wouldn't wanna me

#

lol

glossy pewter
#

Wait so i am delusional this whole time?

alpine hatch
#

Can someone else be me pls

glossy pewter
#

Why hurt me so

#

Fuck now am sad

#

Okay i got a look at the mirror

#

Nah i look beautiful

#

I wont believe your words mf

alpine hatch
#

And I would prob take being them KEKW

#

I guess yea but still sucks to be me :/

#

No matter how hard I work I'll still be useless af compared to everyone else

#

If I don't compare I don't have the motivation to suceed

#

But if I compare I'll just get depressed

#

Great just what I needed someone posted on my uni's subreddit where this guy had like 8 internships

#

Nice daily affirmation to remind me how ✨useless✨ I am

hollow oyster
#

very true

alpine hatch
#

Hey, somebody kill me
Please, it's muffin time
Have you had a muffin today?
I wanna die, die, die KEKW

lament cloud
#

Bro @alpine hatch

#

A lot of the stuff you described really resonated with me

#

If it makes you feel better, I go through the exact same thing almost every day

#

Every day being a blur with the same thing happening every day over and over

#

With not many things that bring you joy

#

The goal thing that sdmale and greenfalcon said is right, but it's hard if you have no idea what you want

#

Ik you said you have social anxiety, but one thing you gotta understand about being in uni is that everyone feels the same way

#

Sometimes people decide to take the first step and talk to someone else

#

And sometimes they stay in silence and let things go on as they are

#

All you have to do is take that first step

#

It worked out for me and it can work out for you as well

#

Whenever I'm spending time with the friends I made in uni, the deja vu feeling of every day being the same goes away for me

#

So just put yourself out there

#

It might go wrong

#

But I'd say that's better than nothing happening at all

alpine hatch
#

But everyone already have their own small groups

#

I will always be an outsider and a background friend in a friend group

#

It's like the harder I try the worse it gets

#

But I don't think socializing is the main issue coz everyone is bound to have some alone time during uni

#

It's just me not capable enough of handling my emotions here

lament cloud
#

Any form of relationship takes work

#

But the start is the biggest hurdle

alpine hatch
#

I mean I think I have enough uni friends but just rarely any hard time ones

#

Do I really need more :')

lament cloud
#

In fact you already have an opening

#

Surely someone among your hi-bye friends is actually interesting to you

#

Have a conversation with them

alpine hatch
#

Yes this

glossy pewter
tidal sable
#

outta pocket asf 😭😭

#

serious chat but sorry i chuckled at that lmfaooo

tidal sable
#

if from the same course then that might be easier a lil

#

but what about friends from diff courses?

#

glossy pewter
tidal sable
#

naur

#

genuine question pepenugget pepepunch

glossy pewter
tidal sable
#

bro no 💀

#

u pick up some hungarian ladies

glossy pewter
tidal sable
#

he goes younger than that

chilly solar
#

have you seen hungarian girls bro @glossy pewter

#

if you manage to pull one you must tell me bro

#

how old is student ig

#

ayo

tidal sable
#

he probably goes both ways

chilly solar
#

she is a she

#

when i hear her voice i'll tell you

glossy pewter
#

What typo allegations are these

glossy pewter
chilly solar
#

and tell me outcome

#

;)

tidal sable
unreal warren
#

or if u r alrdy talking about something and want to continue it use the five Ws ngl it helps

#

yeah just go with the flow

glossy pewter
#

Ohhhh

#

What where which when and why

unreal warren
#

it hugely depends on the person ur talking to

glossy pewter
#

I got 4/5

unreal warren
#

true, cuz if u r extroverted and the person ur talking to is the same wont be that awkward

#

well then thats an issue

#

and if 1 party becomes nervous u will make the convo awkward

#

true i havee seen that alot

#

very true indeed

#

its all on likes and dislikes cuz ppl only find the convo interesting if its something related to them

#

and they open up

#

bbsolutelyhalal if the other person dislikes it yes

#

yeah and keep giving them inputs that ur following if not they will think ur not interested

hard ravine
#

Real

#

The best thing is too say the things that genuinely come to mind

#

Unless if it's something inappropriate or random

#

💀

unreal warren
#

cuz if u dont u will mess up

hard ravine
#

Most of the times people literally don't care what you say

hard ravine
#

Usually just push yourself to initiate a conversation or continue it

#

It's like practice

#

Then eventually becomes a habit then you good 👍

#

Usually you gotta also look if the person is comfortable enough

unreal warren
#

yup it all comes with experience the more u talk to ppl the more u know how

hard ravine
#

That gives you enough confidence to continue

#

Uhh

#

Never spoken to a female

#

Irl

unreal warren
#

and not make the other party nervous

unreal warren
hard ravine
#

Not anyone outside the family

unreal warren
#

u have never talk to a girl irl except ur family

hard ravine
#

School was pretty strict bout this

unreal warren
#

this is the 1st time am hearing this

hard ravine
#

I've talked to some females on discord

unreal warren
#

dammn

hard ravine
#

Nah 💯% haven't

#

I see

#

I have done a small few talks with females maybe

#

But no friends

#

Nothing

unreal warren
#

for me i can srt also with anyone but it depends if i need to and if it peaks my interest

hard ravine
#

Nothing that's like a conversation between us irl

#

So idk how uni will be like pepecry

hard ravine
#

I've never done a whole conversation. But maybe 10 seconds max

#

For females

#

So yeah idk lol

unreal warren
#

aahh that i thought ur fellow passenger

hard ravine
#

That's why I also joined a vc to see female activity

glossy pewter
#

I usually do that KEKW

unreal warren
#

gud enough

hard ravine
#

But I have no idea

unreal warren
#

ahh i see

#

u fly alone?

glossy pewter
unreal warren
#

ngl pretty boring

hard ravine
glossy pewter
unreal warren
#

why r we talking in venting come chat lounge

glossy pewter
#

You joined a class to learn how to talk to females

hard ravine
unreal warren

hard ravine

lament cloud
#

Yeah no that's not what I'm talking about

#

I'm talking about like initially

#

You can talk to them day 1 for example and have a semi-enjoyable conversation

#

But then on day 2, you don't try another conversation and go back to your introvert tendencies

#

That potential friendship will go back to a hi-bye thing

tidal sable
#

damn beo

bronze coyote
#

Are you chai

hard ravine
lament cloud
#

It's raising a lot of people who have no clue how to communicate with the opposite gender

hard ravine
lament cloud
#

LOL

#

All dorm bathrooms are gender neutral here I think

lament cloud
#

Haha

#

True

cosmic ginkgo
#

Been there buddy

#

This is gonna sound really stupid but have you been eating and sleeping well recently

#

It's the easiest thing to change that makes quite a bit of impact on mood

cosmic ginkgo
#

Try to sleep 6-7 if you can

#

Get something nice to eat for yourself today

cosmic ginkgo
#

I usually don't count naps because uninterrupted sleep hits different

#

:// I'm not really sure how to help but I have been there man

#

I realised I wasn't eating enough at all (which I'm starting to do again) and I just ate a lot more takeout and ready food than I normally would simply to get my appetite back up

#

And then once I could eat more I focused on eating healthy

#

Don't be too harsh on yourself in the meantime

#

Hmm fair enough

#

Do you feel like you can still enjoy some things tho?

#

Music or hobbies or stuff like that

#

Or is it constant

deep sluice
#

Imo
Try to decrease time spent on ur mobile if it's a little much

#

It helps

#

Ya know what i mean

#

But really you should consider it
It has a major effect on this

cosmic ginkgo
#

It definitely does

#

Does your uni have a counselling service that's not impossible to get to?

deep sluice
#

Hope it gets better soon :)

cosmic ginkgo
#

Surely you can do it online tho?

#

It's not a solution by any means

#

But it can help a little

#

Check it out and see

#

Idk about yours but ours takes ages to get through but I had enough of a breakdown at student support that they got me a referral

#

It's not always a linear path, life has its ups and downs

#

Ah damn that's really good then

#

Considering how many people work from home now, they would probably even do them online regardless of where you are

#

Trust me it comes from somewhere and that's not as shallow as you think

#

Maybe I'm just projecting but I thought the same and in hindsight oh boi was it bad

#

In time you will

#

From around February to April I had a really shit phase, didn't really care for anything, barely made it out of the house 3 days a week, and if I was out I'd be out for so long so I didn't have to come back and overthink

#

I'd come back home at 11 pm and just sleep

#

Didn't see the point in living really

#

By the time I reached out for help it must've been April

#

But it took a long time for me to realise that it wasn't just another feeling like the dumps and was actually a problem

#

That's good :) keep the energy going

#

It's much easier to not stop than to pick it up from nothing

#

Like very temporary fun

#

Yeah

#

Overthinking this?

naive skiff
#

fake fun

cosmic ginkgo
#

It may not help but lack of it definitely makes it worse if you're not rested

#

I've always been this way and always overthink😂 it's very obvious when I talk to my sister and my mum that they just don't extrapolate shit that far ahead

#

Hmm

#

Also youre always welcome to DM me whenever you need it

naive skiff
#

you stressed out or is it just like that

cosmic ginkgo
#

I see

#

I'm fully falling asleep with my phone in my hand tho so I'm gonna give in

#

But anytime you want someone around just text me

#

Don't have all the solutions but I'm happy to listen

glossy pewter
#

I am also open @unreal shadow 🤷‍♂️

#

I am sure you hate me though

#

💀

cosmic ginkgo
#

Dw about it, I know how isolating it can feel

glossy pewter
#

Whats the issue though

#

I scrolled but cant seem to reach it

olive wadi
#

sd male my man i am here for u too

#

Lahore zindabad 🫡

naive skiff
#

they both will ruin you

#

dont listen to them

#

a sensation of being lost?

#

dk what to do

olive wadi
#

bruh

#

damn

#

aight

glossy pewter
#

Oh its fine @unreal shadow everyone has been there they just dont wanna think anymore it’s frustrating sometimes

#

Only way to get rid of it

#

Is to get busy

#

Or do something

olive wadi
#

dont ruin him greenfalcon

naive skiff
#

similar to what i mean

glossy pewter
#

Dahhhh it must be rough i think you are overworking yourself my friend

#

Try chilling out a bit

#

Talk to your old friends since you are back home

naive skiff
#

leave the free dopamine out

#

detox yourself

#

thats one thing

#

usually happens with the free dope

glossy pewter
#

It must be overworking yourself thats all

#

Try resting a bit

olive wadi
#

Yk my life has felt much nicer and fullfilling ever since i came back to my hometown and reconnected with genuinely loving and nicest ppl

#

sense of dullness has gone away

naive skiff
#

mine grows but

glossy pewter
#

For now if you are still overthinking try getting off discord and have a nice nap

naive skiff
#

im living

#

not tryna bother with it

olive wadi
#

by just connecting with ppl

glossy pewter
#

What about Now?

#

Its late for ya

#

Staying up late also leads to unnecessary thoughts

naive skiff
#

most likely

#

detox yourself

#

go out

olive wadi
#

mostly its empty time

glossy pewter
#

Since you have a lot of time on your hands at these times

olive wadi
#

when u dont do smth u have time to think and overthink

naive skiff
glossy pewter
#

Even when doing stuff?

#

Like when you working

deep sluice
#

This may seem ridiculous but try metal music

#

That's my go to when it gets too much

glossy pewter
#

I see basically imagination is running wild?

deep sluice
#

Bro fr fr tho😂

placid folio
#

hello

naive skiff
#

he listened to mongoal throat singing

#

good

glossy pewter
#

Thats what you think about?

deep sluice
#

Yea Same usually but i feel sometimes like this much noise helps quieting my mind

placid folio
naive skiff
#

for me

glossy pewter
#

Why is it sad then

naive skiff
#

I dont listen

placid folio
#

i like me own tunes

placid folio
naive skiff
#

you sometimes become too dependent on music for your moods

glossy pewter
#

Yeah ik your taste is impeccable

placid folio
#

no offence

glossy pewter
#

Hmmm is it bad thoughts though?

#

If its good thoughts

#

Its good aint it

placid folio
#

i dont know what going on

#

but i agree

glossy pewter
#

Hmmm so reality?

placid folio
#

i like that

glossy pewter
#

Oh so i was close KEKW

placid folio
#

sometimes it gets me high or tries to kill me thats reality to me

glossy pewter
#

But tbh am gonna tell you the truth @unreal shadow its something we cant control

#

Ik you are muslim

#

Thinking is beautiful creation by allah

#

As you said

placid folio
glossy pewter
#

It does give you great ideas sometimes

#

But it also has its downsides

placid folio
#

are u guys talking about music addiction or smtnhg

glossy pewter
#

Which we must cope with

#

Remember its not only you

#

Everyone around youev

#

Even me

#

Think about reality

#

Thats stress

#

Extreme stress

#

It will affect you dude

placid folio
#

i have 2 different voices in my head

#

both disagree

glossy pewter
#

Is it headaches? Cause if it is get yourself checked out cause migraines (i have them) can be treated (this is a side note)

placid folio
#

i use these 2 voices to make my own decisions and think

glossy pewter
#

So like you are disturbed

#

Like you want to be free headed

placid folio
#

i have this

glossy pewter
#

Its a distraction

placid folio
#

but other times its relief

glossy pewter
#

Thats great to hear at least

#

So its just the reality of life

placid folio
#

is this daddy stress or smthng

#

im kinda lost

glossy pewter
#

Many ppl fall for this nowadays idk why

placid folio
#

i have this

glossy pewter
#

Okay if it is bothering you so much

#

Get yourself checked out

placid folio
#

last night i had a discord nightmare

glossy pewter
#

Or take sleeping pills

placid folio
glossy pewter
placid folio
#

dont take pills

#

u dont wanna be dependant

#

i have insomnia

#

and literally cant turn myselfoff

glossy pewter
placid folio
#

but i just lie down and close my eyes

glossy pewter
#

So its better to take this step

placid folio
#

as rest atleast

#

my doc did diagnose it as anxiety though

#

i dont know how

#

good

#

is it anxiety ur tackling

glossy pewter
#

It is most likely stress and overworking or anxiety dude so best way to get rid of it is you just as you always say in this very channel to other people

#

Clear your head

#

Try relaxing

placid folio
glossy pewter
#

Even though you dont want to

#

Do it

placid folio
#

except @glossy pewter
it aint that easy

glossy pewter
#

Cause it is affecting you

placid folio
#

u wont know how to

glossy pewter
#

Care for your mental health my man its very important

placid folio
#

true

glossy pewter
#

Yourself first then the rest later

placid folio
#

my mum says i dont care if you dont become anything in life just dont go crazy or itll spoil ur whole life

#

and i agree with her

glossy pewter
#

Okay sorry that was an alternative thing for you get a better night sleep if it was affecting you

placid folio
#

any neagtivity or positivuty could root to it

glossy pewter
#

I see

#

Any family issues?

#

Actually no

#

This cant be rooted to that

#

If you arent shy i would recommend talking to your mom or dad or older sibling about this

#

They really help

placid folio
#

glossy pewter
