real. family problems are the worst especially if you live with a parent. how i’m getting out is to try to save enough money to eventually move out 🫶🏼

i can very much relate. no big community, hate working, depressed here. what’s helping helps me is finding something to always look forward to. a new show. self care. hobbies u actually enjoy. little things to help you find some type of joy.

that’s good to hear. the more distance you have between toxic relationships the better unfortunately. i know it still sucks cause it’s your mom but hopefully she’ll change as time passes by. ❤️

it's okay to feel alone. give yourself grace and allow yourself to become your own best friend at this moment. find what things you enjoy and take care of yourself. do things you wanna do in college even if it's alone! the right people & relationships will come in time <3

i hear you. breakups feel like literal hell. feel all of it, don’t suppress. feel like shit for as long as you need and as time passes it’ll get easier. you will find purpose, clarity, and love again but you have to take time to heal and find yourself again first. what does your best self feel and look like? what are your goals? what can you look forward to? find that out. best of luck :)

7 months so far. forced myself to go on a few vacations, mostly place her and I went as if I was trying to somehow experience the vacation again and overwrite memories of her but that is like torture but by the last days I am having a good time and it wanting to leave. Got a senior cat to keep me company for now and she’s been cuddly. Hopefully I figure it out. Thanks for the words of encouragement

if you’re still in contact with him/situationship it depends how he makes you feel. if he genuinely has a busy life and he’s treating you well and it doesn’t make you sad i would say stick it out and work on it, people grow and things change and one day it’ll be the right time. on the other hand, if he’s leading you on, using you, or treating you bad i would advise you to cut contact. take time to love & focus on yourself and you will eventually meet new ppl that truly love u how u deserve ❤️

you’re asking the right person - had 2 roommates back in college triggered my anxiety as well, felt like i had to constantly walk on eggshells. you’re not alone. i learned that living alone gives me better mental health. if you’re living with them rn, spend time alone and create distance so you’re not overwhelmed. talk to someone u trust abt it and see what is triggering the anxiety to work on how to ease it. hope u figure it out, much love 💕

i’m sorry to hear that. you deserve much better and it will come to you. in the meantime allow yourself to feel sad, continue to live your life and meet more people. don’t worry about him, it will get easier, and keep yourself busy :)

wanted to add to this one - life is going to be filled with many chapters, some might be really difficult to get through but it’s all about finding things to keep you grounded and sane. it’s really easy to stay stuck in a hole and stay hating your life (speaking from my personal experience) but you have to choose to implement things into your routine to give you a sense of purpose. 🤍 it will go up from there

ty idk how to get back up from this, it’s been months since he talked to me and it really hurts because it makes me feel worthless 😞

you’re not worthless at all. no man determines your worth, you are perfect how you are right now. you can pick yourself back up from this by starting with self care, doing things you enjoy, hang out with/make new friends, build your sense of self back up again. you got this 🥰
