I think what I can comment is that you can start organising your list of things to solve in a way that helps you check which are the ones you can solve(within your control), and the ones you can’t solve(example what you can’t control like your parents or siblings.) Worrying about the things out of your control will just stress you out and make you feel even worse. It’s like when you grip so hard on a rope that it burns into your hand. Example, your grades,let me discuss that first. Grades don’t define a person, to me anyone can do something as long as they approach it the right way. How I improved my grades is figuring out my learning style, and I went to YouTube to see how people take their notes to get an idea. Everyone has different learning styles and abilities, you just gotta find yours(example you learn best by someone giving you instructions/lecture, or you learn by writing it down in your own understanding etc.)

#

You aren’t stupid if you have bad grades, you aren’t worth-less if less people pay attention to you, nothing should ever define a person, be it a title, a score on a test etc. Everyone should be given an equal chance to learn and not be constantly pressured to be the smartest,wisest or something.

#

If you are already putting in effort to ask for help like here, I say that’s a win

When you go out in real world you kinda realise most people look more for someone who is open minded and willing to keep learning

#

but its been 3 years since ive tried to get over things idk what else i can do about it ...... i even tried talking to my mom she too said to let it go ....but its not easy

#

idk how im suppose to let it go

golden meteor
#

Hm then explore, what makes it so hard to let go? Is it a feeling, or a coping mechanism,escapism or?

eternal tusk
#

feelings and coping mechanism

golden meteor
#

I see.

#

You know, therapy taught me something. Thoughts,lead to feelings which lead to action.

oh

golden meteor
#

So the usual way is to tackle your thoughts, if you can’t solve something, rework your perspective(thinking), change the way you feel about it, or just accept and cope.

#

Hm for starters, ask yourself what were all the thoughts that led up to this?

#

I see, you don’t have to share here(it’s a public post), you can slowly gather your thoughts and if you feel ready, you can request for someone to help you explore

#

Someone that won’t judge you

eternal tusk
#

oh okayy

#

can i just talk to you

golden meteor
#

I don’t mind but I just will clarify I am not a professional therapist, simply will share my experiences and lessons I got from therapy, take what I say with your own personal input.

eternal tusk
#

its all good

#

ive talked to multiple ppl but i think i like your approach

golden meteor
#

I am honoured and appreciate your words. Uh just I am about to eat dinner, will let you know when I leave and come back

eternal tusk
#
