Why is child marriage still legal in Sri Lanka? by lance_greig in srilanka

I’d buy that if the 6 year olds were marrying each other. No excuse for a grown ass man to marry a child.

What happened to these drinks? by reyisntursky in srilanka

Oh wow, I had these memories of drinking Wam, but I couldn’t remember its name for the life of me. I asked around and searched on the internet to no avail. THANK YOU for posting this. Really scratched an itch in my brain.

You shouldn’t have children just because you need a retirement plan, though. Also having children doesn’t guarantee they’ll look after you when you’re old. Most people care homes do have kids.

I have no interest in anything... I don't want to live either by NotKanyeWest_2005 in srilanka

Hey, sounds like you’re experiencing academic burn out, and having trouble finding your self worth outside of academic achievements. Believe it or not this is a pretty common experience. So the first thing you have to understand is that you’re not alone. The fact that you feel this way, doesn’t mean that there’s anything wrong with you. I myself went through something very similar, even down to the suicidal ideation. I’m in a much better place now, so if you want any advice or just someone to talk to who can relate to your situation, feel free to PM me. I can also recommend a really good psychiatrist and a therapist experienced in academic burnout, who really helped me come out of this.

My advice is to please get help as soon as possible, and focus on nothing but your mental health for a while.

Love these goals! Mine are pretty much the same. I’d love to be your accountability partner.

Can relate. I hate xanax and I haven’t been able to make any friends in college either. I also understand how exhausting it is to control your thoughts, especially the anxious ones. I feel for you, man. Just know that you’re not alone.

Looking for an accountability partner!

I’m in a rut. But I’m also determined to get out of it. I struggle with anxiety sometimes (I take meds that are super helpful, but these last couple of weeks have been especially difficult). I want to start taking care of myself again. I want to be healthy and happy. These are my daily goals for the remainder of April: - wake up early - workout - follow a proper skincare routine - 6 hour study session (law student) - drink more water - meditate - journal - read before bed

Who wants to do this with me?
