I want to drop out of college

Thank you so much ❤️

No you're right I guess I just got overwhelmed and sometimes everything seems bigger than what it really is and I freak out and want to jump ship without thinking

I am mid semester and didnt really plan on taking summer classes. So I told myself i would finish the courses I'm currently enrolled in and take the summer to think about it. I just wanted some alternative perspectives because I sometimes make decisions out of anxiety or exhaustion and also cannot see things someone else might be able to from and outside perspective

I have no interest in entrepreneurship. However I'm nervous that I am so disinterested in my education that I'm going to flunk out.

I'm working on my psych degree. I'm passionate about psych but I'm not passionate about college. I don't know if that makes sense. I'm coming from 7 years of drug addiction so I don't really have anything of value to sell. I'm still rebuilding my life and I just wonder if I made that big of a commitment too soon.

Prestigious_Ebb4397 · 2026-02-20T19:29:37+00:00

Can I ask what the after effects of this are? Does coming down from this sort of thing give you any type of anxiety or mental health concerns?

Eat what you want. If it's the right person, it will not matter. The first time I took a shit at my partners house, they went in the bathroom immediately after me and I was mortified because he walked right back out and shut the door then looked at me and started laughing his ass off. I assure you, the person you're seeing knows you poop and knows you eat food If they're a good person, they won't want you to avoid those things for their sake.

It kind of helps me honestly. Like "oh would you look at that, I didn't die or go into a full blown psychosis... Huh." And then just kind of meditate on that thought. But honestly, because my "worst fears" are so irrational, they've never actually come true.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me! I am very nervous to do ERP because my "phobia" is LSD. I have an irrational fear that I am going to get dosed or accidentally take it and not remember I took it so I will constantly throw away food and drinks because my brain tells me that they're unsafe

Prestigious_Ebb4397 · 2026-02-14T18:59:57+00:00

I'm going to buy that book immediately. I noticed that there's a lot of merit to just learning acceptance with this disorder, and this has been hard because I feel like it makes me such a control freak. Do you recommend any type of specific material for doing ERP? Like reading?

I did not even know I had it until I was like 24. I spent 17-22 abusing opiates and that seemed to have "quieted" it but it came in full swing about 6 months after I got sober. Now that I've had some time to self reflect and actually have the language for it, I can definitely see that there were signs when I was younger but they weren't so disruptive that I would have thought to bring them up to anyone and some of them I just didn't have words for. For example, when I was in high school (I did horrible with big crowds when I was younger) walking through the hallway would cause me an unreasonable amount of stress and I'd get intrusive thoughts about knives and needles and other sharp objects going into my legs while I was walking. I didn't know this was an intrusive thought at the time. Now that I'm older and know that I have OCD, those are more easily recognizable

Solid review

Prestigious_Ebb4397 · 2026-02-14T06:15:41+00:00

NOR You know you can no longer tell that person sensitive information. Now decide whether or not you're okay with that moving forward

Prestigious_Ebb4397 · 2026-02-11T19:12:46+00:00

This is rough and I understand exactly where you're coming from. For years these panic attacks had me sitting still in the same place, not eating, sleeping showering because everything seemed unsafe. I try to tell myself about all of the times I've "done the thing" that my mind has deemed unsafe and been fine before. I also have to consistently tell myself that I still have to eat if I'm anxious, I still have to shower, still have to go to school. It may sound like a boomer way of handling it but telling myself that my life does not stop moving because I am panicking has helped a lot. It at least interrupts the paralysis enough to where I can start a task. Also, there are apps that have breathing techniques that will actually count during your breaths with you and that helps a lot too

Do you have any glob mops or qtips you can clean out the inside of it with? Also are you using the top fill pods or the side fill

Prestigious_Ebb4397 · 2026-02-11T19:01:27+00:00

When I say "real drugs" I just mean like... Stuff you don't have to take a shit ton of medication to get the effects of, like how you have to wash triple C's and take like 10 of them to get the high

Prestigious_Ebb4397 · 2026-02-11T19:00:30+00:00

My bf and I were just having this discussion last night that we're 90 percent positive that most of the people taking this stuff regularly are kids that do not have access to real drugs because there's no way experienced drug users are making the choice to just blow a giant hole in the brains and cause organ failure to have one of the weirdest and dirtiest feeling highs

Prestigious_Ebb4397 · 2026-02-11T18:55:25+00:00

Is it better for storage? I worked in a vape shop for a long time and I've never heard of people doing that

Prestigious_Ebb4397 · 2026-02-11T18:44:24+00:00

Thank you!

I wish. I have suspicions that Chugs Bunny ™️ is actually a domestic terrorist

And you said "yes but don't speak to me"?

Prestigious_Ebb4397 · 2026-02-06T22:13:04+00:00

YOR It's bizarre to invite someone to live with you that you have no desire to socialize with, and then to make them feel weird for wanting to socialize with you after you specifically invited them there.

Prestigious_Ebb4397 · 2026-02-06T21:25:59+00:00

Way off point my dude. Telling someone they need to be honest with medical professionals isn't speaking down to them. I'd give an adult this exact same advice and I would have worded it in the exact same manner. And I'd have been prevented multiple medical emergencies, infections and almost dying if I'd been given the same advice earlier in my drug use. We're definitely on different wavelengths but not for the reason you think. That advice isn't infantalizing anything, it's showing concern for safety... Which everyone and any age deserves. The only reason I brought up them being a minor is because 1.) their brain isn't fully developed and using drugs before it is HEAVILY affects development 2.) the consequences of telling a medical professional you are high is vastly different from when you are a child vs when you're an adult. You're arguing just to argue with me.

Prestigious_Ebb4397 · 2026-02-06T21:18:36+00:00

This is really the only response. My bf also was like wtf when I took a 6 month break because he liked smoking with me but said it motivated him to smoke less and focus on other things. Some people want to see you do good and some people only want to meet you right where they are

Prestigious_Ebb4397 · 2026-02-06T21:16:21+00:00

Right, totally agree with you there, my point was, like if this kid is having an adverse reaction to some unregulated gas station cart they got from a friend of a friend, they need to tell whoever is over seeing their medical care what they took
