...See more There are so many little things to do on a daily basis, I’m amazed there are people who know what to do most of the time. I’m always ending up in choice paralysis and then walking away from the task in a bizarre anxious haze. I sometimes feel terrible because it’s so simple for everyone else I know but difficult for me… things like: “do I wash my hair or finish this paperwork first? Or should I do the laundry? Or should I call my gran first?” Tiny decisions like this seem to stress me out to the point I just freeze. I’m trying to be nicer to myself about this because I’ve got so frustrated with my inability before that it’s led to so much hurt. **The only method I seem to find is the Eisenhower matrix - this has never worked for me because 99% of my tasks all fall into the same category OR I’m so unaware of how to judge the urgency and importance of my tasks that I put them in the wrong one. Ahhhh!! I would love to know your thoughts, or if you can relate ❤️xx

...See more Academic deadline, and can’t bring myself to focus, no matter how hard I try. Parent has just shouted at me telling me I’m pathetic, doomed in life and to just go and not come back, that I’m an embarrassment. I don’t believe this, I won’t give up, ever. Even still, I just don’t know what to do, I have two days to finish this assignment, I am in a mess and just hiding right now. I don’t know what’s wrong with me!! It’s really important to me to succeed, I really do feel as though I try hard… Sometimes I feel like I have some sort of condition where at random points in the day I just Float Off The Ground (representing the way my mind seems to “float off” and I can’t Think Straight) and I can’t come back down. I’m not in control of it, but people around me go “ugh, just stop Floating Off The Ground, you idiot.” and I wish they’d understand that I would love to be in control of myself even more than they would like me to do what I said I would. Please help… I don’t know how to proceed with my work while I have this massive stress spike from Parental Confrontation. Anything would be appreciated x

...See more Now I’ve been saying I’m not going to post here anymore because of my own concerns about my account being found… HOWEVER. It is 2am, none of my people are awake, I need somewhere to rant with the possibility of being seen 🥸 I have a really important presentation due tomorrow. I should be working on that right now, what am I doing instead?? Worrying about someone who isn’t even in my life anymore. OH MY GAWWWWD, get out of my brain!! 🤦‍♀️ Never have I been so disrespected by someone in my life. I always strive to have good relationships but THIS situation was unbearable. So why in God’s name am I still putting myself through this misery?! I’m about to pull an Eternal Sunshine and get some Memory Erasing Device or something…

Lost a friendship with a girl I really liked

...See more Just in a really weird situation. We had told each other that we were both romantically interested in each other after 18 months of being friends, spent Valentine’s Day together and it was lovely. The next day she tells me she’s met a boy she’s interested in, I got upset because she swore there wasn’t anyone else, and then she disappears and doesn’t talk to me again. That’s the absolute bare-bones of what happened because this has genuinely been the most confusing and convoluted relationship I’ve had with anyone, platonic or otherwise. Has anyone had a similar situation before? Any advice? x
