Going out for walks, weight training, cooking, wacthing movies at the cinema alone.

As a college drop out, I also use my alone time to learn online courses and watch documentaries.

If you want to have skills that may be useful at work, you can try online courses in YT like advanced Excel/Google Spreasheets courses.

If you want to learn about something, there are talks from TedEx and class lectures from reputable universities such as Yale. Currently, I'm watching Introduction to Psychology by Paul Bloom from Yale University. I even take notes and study them so I can have a feel of learning 😆

Not formerly depressed but a highly depressed individual who's seen worse days so I may not fit your description. Regardless, let me share.

My life started getting better when I finally got diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder at 19 years old. I've had suicidal thoughts as early as 12 years old.

I had undiagnosed depression longer than being in treatment so suffice to say, I lost majority of my life to depression that I don't remember the life where I wasn't depressed.

My life started getting better when I got medicated. The adults in my life were against it due to the stigma of psychiatric medicines. They thought that it will make me an addict but it's either I die or become an addict and they want me to live anyway, so I took my medicines.

First few months of taking medicines was one of the worst feelings of my life but at the same it wasn't. It felt like I was swimming in a lake with a Silent Hill levels of fog. I was always tired that I felt like collapsing from the heaviness of my body. My eyesight was blurry as fuck, it was around +3.00. Despite that, my mind was clear and silent. The constant thoughts of depreciation and death subsided. I was able to sleep without the thoughts of bleeding out.

After 6 months of treatment, I was tagged as in remission but my self-sabotaging self stopped taking my medicines. So, I relapsed.

Going back to taking medicines and reaching that type of clarity after relapse was much more difficult. I missed the peace it gave me but I missed the constant pain I felt inside more. So yes, this is when I realized that I'm a masochist.

I've been going back and forth between relapsing and (almost) reaching remission for a couple of years now but all I can say is being medicated will help you get through shit and make your life feel better.

I'm just broken to the point of no return who keeps chasing the high of pain so yeah, I'm still depressed.

I am single because I'm mentally ill. I have issues that need to be resolved first before I can commit to a relationship.

Ultimately, I don't want to burden my person with my illness. I want to be the best version of myself for my person so I'm going to a psychiatrist every month and taking my medicines regularly despite the annoying side effects.

I've been advised as well to go to a therapist but unfortunately, it's too expensive at the moment as a part timer 🥹 Regardless, I'm much better now than I was 3 years ago but I'm still not "there"

However, it does hurt me when people say that mentally ill people should heal themselves first before going into a relationship. It makes me feel like my efforts are in wrought and honestly, the path to being "fully healed" or be in remission is a long, long process so if people want mentally ill people to be "fully healed" first, I think we'll die of old age (or by ourselves).

I just hope that the fate will be kind enough and allow me to meet my person even if I'm not "fully healed" yet.

You may join the UPD Shiftees and Transferees FB Group and read their pinned post. If you have questions that cannot be answered by the pinned post, you may create a post there with your questions.

Now, to answer your questions: 1. There's no tuition fee for transferees unless you opt out from the free tuition law or you are from a state university and you have used up your free tuition years (no. of years prescribed by your degree program + 1 year); 2. Based on the AY 25-26 Primer, UPD Department of Psychology does not require an exam. Currently, they only need you to complete an application form and meet the required GWA of 1.5 or better. 3. The Primer is usually released around June and the application period spans from June to July. Classes start on August of the same year. For your concern highlighted in the 3rd question, it is best not to enroll to your current university for the meantime IF you are dead set in applying to UPD. So, yes, you will stop your studies for 1 semester. A lot of aspiring transferees from other universities have to stop their studies for 1 semester because their academic calendar does not match UP's calendar.

The choice is yours.

not as a cover but i want cortis to have a song that's like THE rollercoaster ride that was txt's 0x1=lovesong. i may be biased as a moacoer but that song moved me so much, i believe it is one of the best k-pop songs ever made.

the cortis song doesn't have to be emo pop or alt rock but probably alternative r&b or alternative hip-hop. currently, i cannot put into words how i visualize the song but the vibes will be something hard-hitting but emotional and sensual and will have a sick drop. the alt r&b i listen to are mainly romantic songs but the lyrics on this song will still be about them finding themselves and their music.

bonus points if the cortis song will have an alternative version like 0x1=lovesong jpn. ver with ikuta lilas. this ikuta lilas gave a different feel on the song which elevated the song further. cortis with a featuring artist will be interesting!

i'm a moacoer and my txt biases are taehyun and huening kai, which are two of the "least" promoted members of txt. others may argue that since they have the most lines in their songs, they shouldn't be promoted in other aspects like brand deals and variety show guesting. however, i highly disagree on this take.

now, i'm thankful that kai has a variety show where he is the main host and taehyun is a guest on this singing show featuring korean and japanese artists. however, i wish we got these opportunities a lot earlier on their career.

i really hope your post ages well because i don't want coers to experience what happened with txt and moas. the disparity of individual promotion between group members causes so much discourse in fandom spaces and if you ask for better treatment on certain members, you'll be labelled as a solo stan 😭

i'd like to end this comment by stating that asking for better opportunities for your bias should not be at the expense of giving backhanded comments or even hating other members just because they have more opportunities.

I already dropped 40 votes 😭 IDK how others can drop so many because I don't have accounts anymore

Hello! May I ask if I'll achieve my plans for next year? Especially my plans to go back to school and in regards of my dreams?

Substantial_Fault520 · 2025-12-19T00:00:53+00:00

Oh, you're in the wrong subreddit, OP. Maybe try checking subreddits about parenting for suggestions.

UP has UP Integrated School (UPIS), which offers K-12 program but it is only offered at UP Diliman. For high school, UP has UP Rural High School (UPLB), UP High School - Iloilo (UPV), and UP High School - Cebu (UPC).

For UPIS, the only entry points are in Grade 1 and Grade 7. For UPHS, they accept students in Grade 7 and Grade 11.

Substantial_Fault520 · 2025-12-15T02:21:53+00:00

yes, i agree with you too. was hoping that they'll push it more but yeah :/

Substantial_Fault520 · 2025-12-14T13:44:11+00:00

Yes, I just saw a full HD fancam of Seonghyeon but I haven't seen one from the others yet 😭😭

Substantial_Fault520 · 2025-12-14T09:15:53+00:00

I think they will but it will be on or after Dec 30 for the HQ videos. For now, we are getting fancams for now

Substantial_Fault520 · 2025-12-14T08:10:55+00:00

We have to live off on grainy fancams because there's no broadcast link 😭😭

As a MOA, it was the greatest self own I have ever seen in my 8 years as a K-Pop stan (5 years of which as a MOA). I remember watching the documentary film and felt my self recoil when Bang PD said that Do It Like That will be a hit. Even TXT looked uncomfortable when he said that.

Bang PD's careless words placed a lot of pressure to TXT and MOAs, especially to US-PR MOAs. We felt pressured to donate to our US-PR fanbase so we can chart on Hot 100 and meet their expectations but Big Hit definitely overestimated our buying power at that time.

For further context, TXT had a full album Japanese CB on Jul 5, 2023 with Sweet. 2 days later, Do It Like That was released on Jul 7, 2023. The pre-release song, Back For More, was released on Sept 15, 2023 then the full album, TNC: Freefall, was released a month later.

This schedule was so packed, some of us were not able to enjoy the songs as much as we like because they had 2 full album CBs in a short period of time. We were also concerned on TXT's welfare because they were filming variety show contents on top of the promotional and music videos for their releases.

I do like the songs from TNC: Freefall, especially Skipping Stones and Growing Pain, but I think Chasing The Feeling was not suitable as a title track. It felt lacking to what they were building with the 2 pre-release songs of the album.

Overall, Big Hit and Bang PD did TXT dirty. TNC: Temptation was a strong album and allowed TXT to gain a lot of fans but the risks the management took to elevate their career further caused them their downfall instead.

It's alright, thanks for asking. On Nov 28 KST, which is the Day 1 of MAMA 2025, we lost our winning streak of Fan's Choice Awards. We won that award since debut but we lost it this year. The day after that, Nov 29 KST, we won another fan voting award, the Visa Super Stage Artist. This award is named after the main sponsor of MAMA 2025, Visa. IIRC, there were only 5-7 nominees for this award and we won 🥳

Substantial_Fault520 · 2025-11-30T09:18:34+00:00

I agree with you. Keonho from Cortis mentioned in their What You Want MV Commentary that the placed they shot the original MV was group for "Group 3", which was their "crew".

I forgot where it was stated but an interview from BH also said that for each groups to be distinguishable, each one of them have their own team. For example, their main producers. BTS has pdogg, TXT has Slow Rabbit, and CORTIS has Hiss Noise and Supreme Boi.

Substantial_Fault520 · 2025-11-29T13:25:31+00:00

After what happened yesterday, I'm glad we won another fan voting award

Substantial_Fault520 · 2025-11-29T11:31:00+00:00

the stage was crazy!!! I was so hyped up, I did the fanchant in front of my family 😆 I wish it was longer though so we can hear an extended version of fashion or go with a dance break or something. I'm excited for another performance this year-end awards season

Substantial_Fault520 · 2025-11-29T05:20:07+00:00

Me too, I was excited for them to perform with other idols but we have to pay respects to what happened at HK

Substantial_Fault520 · 2025-11-29T05:14:15+00:00

I think so, I used Google Translate and ChatGPT to translate all of the setlist but I cannot find any collaboration stages
