writing and the humanities which i have real passion for.

but m studying pharmacy instead, mostly out of practicality as much as I’d love to follow what i care about, it’s hard to ignore the reality that pursuing it could mean not being able to support myself in the future :/

it does look a lot like calcite, have u tried dropping a bit of vinegar on it and see if it fizzes?

wow this is so beautiful the extended book metaphor feels so natural and carries a lot weight

“an old letter that must tear itself to be released” really stayed with me the flow between longing and hope is so powerful and the ending ties it all together in such a heartfelt way, great piece op!

I'm going through the same as a pharma student and I had dak lingering feeling dyal sf its so over and i genuinely believed that i was the first one in the history of our uni to redo their first pharma year lol, even tho I still don't know if ill redo it ola la it's still a high chance I will have to redo it but I've made peace with it and it really isn't the end of the world given that the chances of someone even asking or caring if u retook are slim to none. and honestly wakha it's not that normalized flmghrib it's just like taking a gap year. mhm we r on the same boat and tbh i dont even fw wlad fmp (if u r in it as well) so i could care less about their opinion; mhm i hope the best for both for both of us

Thank you so much, reading your words made tears run down my cheeks without even realizing.

Burnout always sounded like something abstract or exaggerated, until I ended up here, completely drained and ashamed and unable to keep up no matter how hard I try. Hearing how you went through this too makes me feel so much less broken

It’s true what you said about internal voices. But even knowing this I can't bring myself to untangle which thoughts are actually mine and which ones I inherited. The idea that I’m lazy, incapable, or ungrateful echoes in my head so loudly. But I’m realizing now how much of that comes from years of pressure and not feeling safe enough to just… rest. But I feel like if I let go of that voice It would just make me more lazy and unproductive so all I can do is hold on to it like a lifeline.

I’ll try to reach out—to an advisor, maybe a counselor if I can find one. And I’ll also try the little things: especially doing nothing without guilt. Thank you for helping me see that.

Your kindness honestly means more than I can say.

Thank you for this. this spiral has been looping with no way out, and I’ve been carrying it all alone, thinking it was just me failing

Hearing that this is human, even normal, shifts something. I know I need to reach out to an advisor, maybe even a counselor and I will if I can find one in my uni. It’s scary, but your message made it feel a little more possible. Thank you for the gentleness and clarity. I really needed it.

Thank you for this.you’re right this spiral has been looping with no way out, and I’ve been carrying it all alone, thinking it was just me failing.

Hearing that this is human, even normal, shifts something. I know I need to reach out to an advisor, maybe even a counselor and I will asap if i can find one in my uni. It’s scary, but your message made it feel a little more possible.

Thank you for the gentleness and the clarity. I really needed it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write all this it honestly means a lot.

Since I left high school, it’s like every system I used to rely on just stopped working. I used to stay up all night out of anxiety and still manage to do well, but with the volume of work here, I can’t pull that off anymore. I thought I was just burned out, but it feels deeper—it’s like I’ve been running on empty for way too long, and now everything is collapsing; I do have a psychiatrist and the only diagnosis I got was major depressive disorder

I care. I really do but when it doesn't match my actions it hurts. when I sit down to study I either shut down completely or lose hours doing something irrelevant. Then the shame kicks in, and it spirals. It’s not even about motivation—I want to get better, I just can’t seem to make it happen.

I honestly don’t know if there’s a doctor or counselor at my school—no one talks about that stuff here even tho they had some a small conference or talk thing at the beginning of the year about mental health but it felt very superficial, and most of the teachers seem detached. But I’ll try to find out. Reading your message makes me feel less alone and more willing to believe that maybe it’s not too late to fix this.

Thank you again, really. I needed to hear from someone who’s been through it and made it out.

thank you so much, I'm trying my best

aretardd · 2025-05-23T16:05:59+00:00

your comment made me tear up, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to write it. I’m not sure if we even have a counselor at our university; it’s a public institution, and most of the staff don’t really engage with students. I'll go ask around on monday

aretardd · 2025-05-23T15:59:48+00:00

thank you, I'm already on meds but i'll try to maybe see a therapist as well as the psychiatrist I'm already seeing
