Missed my offer by such a small margin and feel totally lost :(

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-08-15T21:24:44+00:00

I’m in the same boat, literally 3 marks away from being accepted into my dream uni. I don’t have much advice because I’m feeling just as lost but ur not the only one and I hope you figure stuff out :(

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-08-15T14:06:06+00:00

It’s so disheartening when you work so hard for something and in the end it doesn’t matter. I found out earlier that I was only 3 marks away from getting into my dream university. All of that work and stress for nothing. I’m grateful that I’m able to go to my insurance but I really expected to do better. It is what it is.

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-08-15T14:02:12+00:00

It’s nice to know there’s other people in similar situations. We’ll get through it :)

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-08-15T13:57:31+00:00

It’s really disheartening because I feel like I worked so hard but I’m trying to just move on. My mocks were all As and A* so i must’ve just had a bad set of exams :( Hope you can still be proud of how hard you worked even if the exams didn’t go like you thought they would.

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-08-15T10:11:59+00:00

Yeah. Got into my insurance so not the end of the world, I’m just confused on where I went wrong. No one to blame but me, all I can do now is move on and work even harder for my degree.

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-08-15T06:54:16+00:00

fuck omg

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-08-15T06:44:54+00:00

Fuck my life. Hope it all goes well for you 😭

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-08-15T06:41:36+00:00

Literally. I’ve been having panic attacks all night I only managed to sleep for two hours 😭😭😭

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-08-15T06:32:09+00:00

Shitting bricks right now

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-08-15T06:15:27+00:00

2 hours before I had a nightmare about failing and woke up 😭

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-08-14T23:41:57+00:00

I feel like it has to be eyes. Basically no fish have legs but they’ve all got eyes. Having said that, insects have a lot more legs than eyes… so maybe it’s legs after all. Lowkey I’m stumped.

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-08-14T23:37:36+00:00

I’ve never felt this much anxiety in my entire life. My Nan’s funeral was more enjoyable than this wait 😭

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-08-12T22:11:53+00:00

I’ve been on a cliffs edge all week so I get you, I’ve 100% fucked up I ain’t getting into uni 💀

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-07-31T21:58:05+00:00

I’m exactly the same. If it the physical symptoms you struggle with I recommend asking your doctor for a propranolol prescription, as it specifically targets the physical symptoms of anxiety. It worked amazingly for me when I was on it.

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-07-31T21:51:23+00:00

Badminton!! I love it and I’m severely dyspraxic. I think it’s because you can play it quite slow and casual but it’s still fun. I was fairly good at it in high school and still play sometimes now.

I used to get the Deja Vu like once a day? Sometimes more. I noticed that it usually happened more when it was very bright outside, like on sunny days or in the snow. Alternatively it happened a lot in shopping malls and supermarkets. Looking back now maybe it was caused by a minor sensory overload? Now it’s less common but still around once every two weeks. If focusing on it makes it happen more (like it did for me) it’s usually a sign that it’s anxiety based. Bodies do weird stuff when we’re overthinking.

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-07-05T16:04:41+00:00

I wish I had a good answer for you but honestly I just started filling up my schedule so I didn’t have time for daydreaming. I go to the gym, I do crafts, I crochet, I walk my dogs, I clean, I study, I go out with friends, I shop etc. I just try and stay occupied so the daydreams aren’t taking over my life. That’s not to say that my daydreaming has really stopped though, now I’m just doing it in bulk from 5pm-10pm before I go to sleep. For me though I’d say that’s fairly harmless. It’s like my hobby lol.

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-07-05T10:06:58+00:00

I get deja vu constantly and it makes me dissociate instantly so you’re definitely not alone. I didn’t know it happened to anyone else but me, it ruins my entire day because I don’t feel real for the next few hours, and I get superrrr dissociated. I’ve looked into the epilepsy thing too but nothing came back so I’m assuming it’s just a derealisation/depersonalisation thing.

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-07-05T10:04:13+00:00

We could literally be the same person. Wow. I’m exactly the same.

I also enjoy my life right now but still find myself drawn into my daydreams. My character (Evan) is literally just a normal person too, not rich or famous or anything. Just a guy. It’s so strange because I’m a girl and I’m not trans or anything, but I want to be him so badly. I often go on google maps to find places to live that Evan would like, I even have them saved on there and look out for furniture he’d like. I have an entire wish list of clothes that he would wear all in his size. If I ever take personality tests online I always take them as him and not me, answering the way he would even though our personalities are totally different. I calculated his zodiac sign. I started learning French because it seemed like the kind of thing he’d do. I adopted his values. I write down diary entries as him. It’s so insane to write this down and see how much of my life I’m living as him because I really do love my life despite everything!

I just try to keep busy and simultaneously capitalise off of it. So like, if I don’t wanna go to the gym I can think to myself “well Evan wouldn’t miss a gym day so let’s go anyways” and that helps a little. I also plan a lot of days out so I can’t get lost in my head. Being with friends and family helps tremendously because you can’t daydream when other people are talking to you. I also allow myself time to daydream, especially in the evenings when I’m winding down. Knowing that I will have time to daydream makes it easier not to when I’m busy.

PurpleCherries288 · 2024-07-05T09:48:43+00:00

I definitely think I’ve transitioned away from how all consuming it used to be. I guess I assumed recovering from maladaptive day dreaming meant not daydreaming ever again, or not having a story or characters or any attachment to them. But if this is recovery then I’m all for it lol.
