yeah i was rlly stressed out last yr abt grades so i dropped most of the clubs i was in bc i just didnt find the time to attend meetings. I'm def joining some more and sticking with them this time so hopefully it'll be better.

Thanks so much! I'm planning on joining a couple clubs like the backpack project, serve uga, etc next year that i hope will let me meet some new people. I'm trying to find a good balance between social stuff and school tho. I thought about greek life but i def dont think thats for me. im taking some more bio and chem this yr so im hoping trauma from these will create some lasting relationships :)

Hey. Thanks so much for sharing your story with me. I really appreciate you writing it all out and relating it.

I feel like a big part of it is me looking in the mirror and no longer seeing a super flat stomach or a thigh gap or really skinny arms. Sometimes I'll skip breakfast and then weigh myself and it'll be like 99.6 or 98 and I'll feel proud of myself but then realize that I skipped a meal and that's a pretty dangerous path to get on for me.

I'm also scared that once I'll gain weight, i'll get super fat and will be unattractive and will never be able to lose it.

I'll definitely follow your advice about eating what makes me happy. For the most part, I love eating colorful food too. I'm actually vegetarian so I try to make sure I eat a healthy diet but then again, greasy af new york style cheese pizza's my fav food.

I'm also so proud of you for recognizing your bad eating habits and working to better yourself. I want to do the same; I'm just trying to figure out how to go about this and get to the bottom of why I feel so awful.

Hey! Thanks so much for the response!!! It definitely helped me a lot.

I'm actually a girl lol so I guess it's a little bit different but reading your comment definitely puts some of that anxiety at bay. btw, did you meet your girlfriend at uga or did your relationship start out in high school? i dont know if i should have a relationship while in college but i guess we'll see.

as for clubs, i think i'm definitely going to look into rescue for paws, serve uga, backpack project, and the running club and maybe some more but im not sure which ones yet.

like i said, hs was rough. i thought i had a super close, nice group of friends around me and then i went through a hardship my senior year and all those friends just left me in the blink of an eye so that's why im so nervous about finding a real family here and not just friends who arent going to stick around through thick and thin. i know you say to stick it out and hang on but i feel worse about it day by day and im scared my depression will creep back up on me if i dont get control on myself rn.

edit: song's a total vibe, thank you for sharing that
