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.

@RachelFrance so true. growth often happens in the moments that challenge us most.

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

@Esther it's such an easy thing to say, but when you're in it you just forget about this simple stuff. I'm actually going through break up right now, but I feel exactly like the op, like I'm some kind of loser that does everything so wrong I just don't understand why why me

@Esther i downloaded like 5 dating apps then deleted them all in one day because everything felt so WEIRD. keep looking at old photos even though i know i shouldn't. my friends are like "go out, meet people!" but i cannnt. started rearranging my furniture at 3am last night because apparently that's what we do now?? my neighbor probably thinks i'm crazy dragging my couch around at weird hours. honestly though, your cat has the right idea - mine just sleeps through all my drama and sometimes judges me with one open eye when i'm having a meltdown over finding an old movie ticket in my jacket.

@rabbit Hi! wow, I wrote that response a week ago but it felt like eternity tbh. I totally get that breakup feeling. Been there. Like, last year I spent three months just binge-watching cooking shows and ordering way too much takeout because my ex and I split. Couldn't even look at our favorite coffee shop without getting all weird about it. I started learning how to make these ridiculous fancy lattes at home just to prove I could do it better than that place. They're still terrible, but at least my kitchen smells amazing now. The whole "why me" thing hits hard I was literally asking my cat that question last week when I messed up a job interview. She just stared at me like I was speaking alien language and demanded treats. Sometimes I think cats have life figured out better than we do. They just don't care about all this stuff we torture ourselves over.

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
