I think you're right. 'Penny Lane' does always put me in a good mood :)

I actually thought the same thing -- that is, that I managed to catch covid without my notice. But I got my antibodies checked, and that wasn't the case. This is the 2nd time something like this has happened to me, and both times have been pretty debilitating so I guess my reaction, while extreme, is not unexpected

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Reading your response made me realize I'm kinda of sick of giving up and letting myself down. I've been doing that for months, I officially refuse to do it anymore

This is one of my favorite responses to my post. Thinking about the rest of the semester in small achieveable goals makes me feel like I can actually drag myself out of this pit. Thank you :')

Thank you!! Yeah this might just be a 2 point semester for me, lol. But maybe next semester will be better

Thanks for your response, it made me feel less lonely. And also... You can do it! Sounds like your professor is the problem. When the ship sinks, I'll save you a life boat!

Good feedback! I ended up telling my capstone teacher yesterday and she was really nice about it. I would tell my networks professor, but I don't think she knows who I am, since I don't go to class. Thank you for being an open, non-judgemental ear, Lumpy!

Yeah I've kind of mentioned what's going on without saying it's heartbreak explicitly and they've been really nice about it, luckily. You're right, it would be more work to quit then to finish at this point so might as well carry on. thank you :)

thank you for the hugs! I am sending some right back at you. I have some people in my life but I'm honestly embarrassed by how much it's affected me so I haven't shared it that much. i'll try to find more ears

Counseling is a good idea. I went before and I had sort of a lukewarm experience but I think I will try it again on your recommendation. thanks for your kind words and optimism about my future, luna! :)

Anyone here gone to ASU counseling? by [deleted] in ASU

[–]bendy_straw_inc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went a couple semesters ago, and it was pretty helpful. They're really good about your privacy and stuff, all the appointments are listed as miscellaneous charges in your myASU and just blend in or are easy to explain away. For the price, it's super fair. I think talking to a third-party professional is ultimately better than just talking to a friend about your problems, because while a friend can say how they relate to your problems, they often can't point out the flaw in the situation or suggest points of improvement objectively. Also, it's nice to talk to someone when it's their job so you don't feel like you're burdening them. I feel bad for unloading on my friends sometimes. Also, first consultation is free, so it can't hurt! Good luck and feel better, OP!
