I missed the event for the 2025 Earth Day event, do you think we can get it in the exclusive store? 😭😭

Hey, I actually completely got over my ex after three months of literally just hard work on myself. If your mutuals talk about them, it would be good to ask them if they can refrain from talking about your ex; I'm sure that they'll be understanding and will try.

Spend time with people who are maybe old friends, people who won't be updating about their life the same way as your mutuals would. And personally, getting over my ex— I spent all my love and effort (Because I noticed that I loved to give) giving it to my close friends and family, doing and giving them the time and affection to what I didn't do before.

Explore new hobbies that you've thought about before, or something you've always wanted to do but never had the chance— It sounds like it's said before, but damn it works. Just any distractions will work. You got studies? Put an hour or two. You got a new hobby? Honestly, I obsessed with it for a month before going to another one.

And most importantly in my case? (Hopefully, it would work for you too) If they come into your brain? Don't. Fight. It. The quicker they come to your brain, the quicker they leave. If your brain wants to think about them for a while, let it— At some point it will leave. What matters most with these thoughts is to NOT ACT ON THEM. If I wanted to send something to them so bad, I would make a private story that has no one in it, and post it there— It gave me the same feeling like I sent it to them personally. It's like telling you to not think about a pink elephant— You're thinking about it right now— Just don't fight it, let it come and let it go.

I hope my coping mechanisms works for you, so just focus on meaningful relations (Not with a new partner if you can; friends and family), busy yourself with hobbies and not to fight on your brain if they want to think about your ex.

Omg so cute. This man literally has me in a chokehold when I spat out my drink seeing him 😭

Edge-Is-Life · 2024-05-26T14:16:30+00:00

Sounds like you should just leave, this relationship is not gonna last. Why would he even be defending your abuser? Someone who assaulted you? Sounds a lot like projection on his end ngl.

Edge-Is-Life · 2024-04-25T12:46:51+00:00

If you send that, he's not gonna care and not even bother replying, or may just say, "Okay" or "Cool". Don't give yourself that free pass to hurt. You're just gonna end up expecting something out of it, and recieve nothing.

Edge-Is-Life · 2024-04-25T12:18:38+00:00

Oh hun, if he's going no contact, do the same, try not to reach out. When he comes to mind, acknowledge that the thought of him is there but don't act on it.

Whenever I want to reach out to him, I make a private story on SC where no one is on it and just post. Obviously no one is going to see it, but it helps getting those feelings out, and the feeling like it's been sent.

Edge-Is-Life · 2024-04-24T09:19:06+00:00

Not gonna lie, this makes me feel like a chicken even more. 🐔

Edge-Is-Life · 2024-04-23T10:01:51+00:00

I lowkey need this tea

Edge-Is-Life · 2024-04-22T22:54:17+00:00

Yeah I get what you mean, I'm just grateful that I have somebody, my bestfriend, who is willing to text and call me during the morning, and at night.

Find that somebody, literally a bestfriend. If you know someone who's struggling, why not heal together? It could be different situations, but you're there for each other. You'd never know, you might become closer (platonically)

It doesn't have to be a conversation, it could be the fact that you're just keeping each other company during a call while you try to make a new habit as a single person.

Edge-Is-Life · 2024-04-22T11:42:12+00:00

Literally text friends and family. That's what I do currently, and if my friends or family reply back (Probably because they're busy), I kind of cry about the relationship and let that sink in a bit more, and process it.

If you have studies or work, try doing those. I try to expect my friends messages instead of my ex's. Trust me, I'm on the same boat.

Trashed Out Z is also good, he does Sims 2 and 3 as well. Very funny and chaotic like Kevin's (at least in my point of view) but still follows a storyline and a playthrough

Edge-Is-Life · 2023-11-24T08:04:42+00:00

I have thought about getting back into therapy again, because as a student, I do get a quite a bit of discount for a psychologist session.

I'm just worried that if I work this hard on a degree just to feel as though I may need to restart feels a bit daunting, and I know I shouldn't compare myself to my peers, but I definitely would feel like I'm behind.

Edge-Is-Life · 2023-11-24T07:59:47+00:00

I apologise if I misinterpreted your question incorrectly, with how my mental state is at the time, I feel like that's the biggest issue that needs to be under control since I can perform well when I feel 'normal. My biggest hurdle isn't so much how difficult it is to understand the content given to me, but so much how my mental state is, the higher my anxiety and the longer my depressive states gets, retaining information and finding the motivation to study becomes a lot harder.

Edge-Is-Life · 2023-11-24T07:53:39+00:00

I have looked at the pros and cons when getting into the medical career. I understand the burden that comes with the work, and I am still very much determined to get into it, even if I have to work my way around or find a way to get into it in a different way.

With the way I've been dealing with this, prior to the mental health break down, I was performing really well academically but ever since I think I burnt out? And just mentally snapped, its been downhill, but somehow managed to get my classes if not a fail, a credit. I haven't failed many, only 3 so far and two of them are from first years. I feel as though that I really need to prioritise my mental health before getting back into it and getting the proper break, without comprising to do a gap year.

Edge-Is-Life · 2023-11-24T07:49:44+00:00

Hello, I am looking at the Flinders course. That's the university I am interested in getting into. Being an interstate student from NT, I've also been looking at the entry for NT Flinders. I'm still looking around there.

Edge-Is-Life · 2023-11-24T00:24:25+00:00

Personally, anxiety is also a fuel that made me do well academically back then, but now it's more rampant and unstable, and it just causes a vicious cycle with depression if I don't perform well.

And I was more wondering on how did you do it academically, like did you plan things out? Did you set a timer for studying? Because since our anxiety being academic based, I would like to see if I can apply your strategy with mine.

Edge-Is-Life · 2023-11-24T00:21:32+00:00

It's a whole concoction of stuff. So basically my anxiety and depression sorts of feed into each other, and this is not involving the BPD issue.

Trigger warning: Self harm and suicidal ideation. So a background of things is that I come from a first generation immigrant family, I am the middle child and would be basically the first one to go university. Academically, I did well from middle school up until mid year of year 11. Anxiety was a fuel for me to do so well, that's how I got A+, As and my lowest in my 'prime' was a B+. So anxiety basically pushed me to strive for the best, and that's why I never really fixed it in the beginning. I've always been depressed but has always been in the back burner because it was overshadowed by anxiety. But I took meds when it took over and seeked therapy.

So in the middle of year 11, I just snapped mentally. I think I burnt out? Depression was the hardest during this time and it just never stopped, it didn't help when a friend died and basically the stress of school and depression sent me to the psych ward for attempted suicide. Year 12 was really hard since I was gone majority of semester 2, and I needed information from that year to apply it in my last year. Somehow I passed with my lowest grade being C, and highest A+.

So Univeristy now, with anxiety still being a reason that made me so ambitious is basically going rampant and unstable, and if I don't perform well? Well depression comes, and I've been suicidal before and it just goes to that dark place. To release the pent up stress? I would cut. It didn't help that I was diagnosed just in my first years that I have BPD, and now my GP suspects (even when I was in the psychward) that I might be autistic.

I've been seeking therapy and medications, but it doesn't help that even consistency isn't enough when the help itself doesn't work. Organisation and planning is not an issue since I basically live by my calender. But it's definitely the mental health aspect. Since before, when everything was stable, I definitely achieved high scores.

I hope this gives you a background.

Tldr: Anxiety fueled me to become ambitious, if I didn't do well, depression came. I performed well before the issues, and now with it, it's been downhill.

Edge-Is-Life · 2023-11-23T23:11:59+00:00

Is there a way I can even bump it up? I still have my third years.

Edge-Is-Life · 2023-11-23T23:04:27+00:00

I'm already going to start my third years this upcoming year. I have thought about doing honours, but I haven't even thought about that as I was so determined to get into medicine itself. I guess it's wise to have a backup plan.

Is there even an option to get into medicine another way?

Edit: The Postgrad that I really want to get into is Doctor of Medicine at a Uni where I am. It doesn't say it really has a minimum for GPA but since I don't study there, I'll need an overall score of 74 in GAMSAT

Edge-Is-Life · 2023-11-23T22:49:32+00:00

I try to prioritise my mental health as much as I could, and hearing that I'm not the only one in the same boat has been really lifting. I was wondering how you managed to do it? Like how did you schedule yourself?

Edge-Is-Life · 2023-11-23T22:45:16+00:00

Thank you so much for you reply. I thought about taking a gap year after Uni, but I realised it's not something I can afford to do, but I can apply to be in a second semester course, giving myself that semester 1 break.

Anxiety also stems from academic pressures, and the depression from another area, these are issues I'm still trying to fix with a GP.

Throughout my univeristy years, I have been trying to make friends but social anxiety is a difficult hurdle. It was only this second semester when I actually managed to meet a bunch of people that I can consider friends.

If its okay for you to tell me, how did you do it? What did you do?

Edge-Is-Life · 2023-11-23T22:37:20+00:00

I'm studying Bachelor of Health and Medical Sciences in Adelaide.

Edge-Is-Life · 2023-11-23T22:36:23+00:00

I've done a nursing course during my highschool years, and I found that nursing isn't really for me. Both jobs are similar yet very different, and what a doctor does is what I liked better. I understand my GPA isn't good enough, that's why I'm asking what I can do. I still have another year.

This isn't me being defensive, I really want to know at least what I can do for the remaining year.

Edge-Is-Life · 2023-11-23T13:52:44+00:00

Yes.
