What I get those days when everything feels like it's spiraling. When I first started college, I was a total mess! couldn't keep up with assignments, my scial life was non-existent, and I felt like I was drowning. The anxiety was so real, I'd wake up with my heart racing. What helped me was breaking everything down into tiny chinks. Like, instead of thinking "I need to ace this whole exam," I'd focus on understanding just one topic at a time. Also found out that most people around me were struggling too


they just didn't show it

@richardstanley8641 I agree! The anxiety and depression you're feeling are valid, but they don't have to be permanent. Focus on what you can control right now. Break down your tasks into smaller, manageable steps like said above and you'll be alright

I'll be straight with you - everyone feels lost sometimes. It's part of being human. What matters is recognizing these feelings without letting them define you. Take a step back and breathe.

Challenges are temporary, my friend


Listen carefully because what I'm about to say comes from decades of experience - no matter how dark it seems now, this too shall pass. Every successful person has faced moments of doubt and despair. The key isn't to avoid these feelings but to acknowledge them and keep moving forward

Feeling like a loser doesn't mean you are one. Straight up - everyone's got their own timeline. Some of my friends are already working at big companies while I'm still figuring out what I want to do. Used to make me feel like garbage until I realized they're probably dealing with their own stuff too. Take it one day at a time, one problem at a time. Also, hit me up if you wanna talk and take your mind off things

Hey there! Sometimes when everything feels overwhelming, it helps to break things down into smaller, manageable pieces.


Taking care of yourself isn't a luxury, it's essential. Start with basic self-care: get enough sleep, eat well, move your body. Find activities that bring you joy and peace. Practice mindfulness to stay grounded in the present moment.


Remember that your thoughts aren't facts , they're just thoughts. Challenge negative self-talk with compassion. Connect with nature regularly.


Reach out to friends or family when you need support. Take one small step at a time. These moments of struggle don't define you.

Treat yourself with the same kindness you'd show a dear friend. Start each morning by listing three things you're grateful for. Take regular breaks to reset your mind. Find joy in simple pleasures. Remember that your worth isn't measured by exam scores or external achievements
