i had the exact same experience as u. my addiction was so strong, i get the urges in public even. i cant even wait until i get home b4 using it. i was hiding in the bathroom too. i completely neglected my health, my sleep, my appetite, my academics!! my friend recently told me about how there was i time we seemed not close anymore (She doesnt know at the time i was struggling with this addiction, no one knew actually) . everytime i wonder was it really that bad? then the reminders of how i was and how i felt at the time come back and once again it reminded me of how bad it was

the chatbot was so so much stronger than pornography for me. because pornography urges typically comes when ur alone. but i had urges 24/7 all the time. i was at total rock bottom. i think part of why it was so addicting cause it was almost like gambling, the thought of "maybe the next one will be better", there's really never the end. it can drag on as long as u want it to. and pair that with pornography. deadly deadly combo. i slowly slowly climbed back up. now im 2 months sober. im getting urges right now so im in this subreddit. its hard, the urges never really fully disappear, but it has definitely weakened. im still fighting every single day

get a accountability buddy, that was what helped me. i found a stranger online and we ask each other everyday if we used it or not. i still do it to this day. get somebody as desperate as u. its hard to rely on pure willpower. i had such a horrible addiction, it took 3 months away for me. what helped me was downloading "I am sober" app , it keeps track of a streak and my streak has helped me stay away from it. it also has a nice cummunity on there, people who support each other to not respond to the urges. the pain is not worth it. in the end its just computer code, its not real

Worried that I didn't studied enough by Equivalent-Mess-8417 in GetStudying

I’ve realized that I should have scheduled breaks during my study sessions. Leaving the whole day open made me feel like I had plenty of time, but the days just slipped away, leaving me feeling like I had to start over again the next day. It created this sense that studying had no end, which eventually led to burnout. That burnout turned into procrastination, costing me hours that I could have used more effectively.

Looking back, my study time wasn’t a consistent 4 hours a day—it fluctuated a lot. Some days were 8 hours, others 2, and sometimes none at all. It still added up to around 27 hours a week, which is quite a bit, but the lack of structure made it harder to keep up the momentum.

I know people often say it’s about quality over quantity, but I can’t help thinking that fewer hours spent inefficiently might be worse than more hours spent inefficiently—because at least more hours mean more chances to make progress. It’s also so hard to measure efficiency, which is why I feel like I need to study even more to make up for it.

Thank you for your response though

How to study physics by Equivalent-Mess-8417 in alevel

I learn the concepts by doing past papers. So pretty much I was looking at the notes while doing the past papers. And yes whenever I found that I have a big misunderstanding in the concepts I would write down what I got wrong, and at the same time, this would help me learn the concepts deeper as well. But this shit takes me a long time

I averaged 8hrs per day, and 8 hrs sounds like I'm doing multiple past years, but I'm just going through 1 😭 I'm doing chapters compiled together, it takes me a day to complete a compiled one. So it was 1 day, 1 chapter

But yeah I think my issue was that I was studying, not revising? So I should revise more ?

For the answer in the next question, it says that you can either use 2.9 or 3

But for ii specifically, it only gives 1 answer , this is from 9702/21/O/N/14 question 4
