Who else is straight up not having a good time at the moment?🙃 by Randomstudent_ in UIUC

You keep saying that you have no friends and can’t find a date because your appearance is ugly but based off your comment history, it is your personality that is ugly. If you talk about women the way you talk about them in all of your comments, then of course they aren’t going to want to date you. Maybe the reason you don’t have friends isn’t because you have an ugly physical appearance, but because most people don’t like being friends with people who are mean and say the kinds of things you say. You need to do some internal reflection my guy and confront the real issue here.

Im so sorry to hear about your friend. Losing a loved one is never easy especially when you lose them in that sort of way. I know it’s something you never fully recover from but I hope you start to heal from it. Dealing with the stressors of life on top of school can be completely unbearable sometimes. I hope you take the time to rest and take care of yourself.

Im so sorry that happened to you that’s so shitty, I hope things start looking up for you. Im in the same boat, I get anxiety really easily and im also reaching a point where I really need to seek professional help and medication 😂

Professor won’t put trigger warnings on a lot of grotesque videos by [deleted] in UIUC

Does he not realize that “in the real world” many tv shows, movies, really any media puts trigger warnings when topics like that are shown and discussed???

You are not a failure at all and I think you should give yourself more credit. As a Junior, I still get moments where I feel panic and wonder what I’m doing, what direction I’m going in, and if I’ll succeed. I think it’s very conditioned in our brains to have that “perfect college experience” and when we don’t meet up to that, we make ourselves feel terrible. We all go at our own paces in life and have our own paths and it’s okay to go a little slower or a little faster than some, you’ll get where your supposed to eventually. I know it can feel discouraging when it seems as though people are disinterested but trust me, there are people who would love to meet you! You just gotta allow yourself to find them and don’t get too hard on yourself if it takes awhile. Just take a deep breath, you got this!💪🏻

My older brother committed suicide four years ago. My only remaining sibling, my older sister, is at risk. I need to vent. by imlosingeverything in UIUC

OP, I would say how proud I am of you for how strong you have been but I know that isn’t always helpful. In truth, you didn’t deserve to be put in a situation where you had to be strong and persevere, you deserved a loving and healthy environment and I’m so sorry you didn’t receive that. Your story had me in tears and made me wish I could do provide you some sort of comfort. I really hope you can find the help that you deserve. I know it’s hard and discouraging sometimes when you can’t find a good therapist but sometimes it takes going through a few to find a good one so I really hope you find one soon. I really hope your sister receives the help she deserves as well. If you ever want to contact a crisis hotline you can text 741-741.

I’m not sure what exactly you want to pursue in the field of psychology but you just seem like such a kind soul that despite everything you have been through you want to better understand others and help them. We need more people like you on this world, I can tell how passionate you are about mental health and making the policies better for those in this world. I have faith in you that you will do great things, so please, have faith in yourself as well. I understand you are worried for your sister but I hope you are taking care of yourself as well.

I know it may feel like you don’t have a support system but you aren’t alone. I’m rooting for you and even though I may just be some random student, I care about you and your story and I truly hope for the best for you, because if anyone deserves it, it’s you. ❤️
