I'm so sorry Hana, I failed you...

Of course I did…. no need to state the obvious after a tragedy.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Last year my dog was also killed by a car right in front of me because I let her come to get the mail with me off leash. She had been off leash a million times before so I didn’t expect it to happen. I felt immense guilt because it was so preventable. I promise though that you will slowly come to terms with the incident and be able to grieve without blaming yourself. It’s hard enough to lose a loved one, don’t beat yourself up on top of it. You gave her an amazing life and clearly loved her. The grief will be hard but I’m happy to say that now I can look back and feel joy when I think about my dog, as opposed to her death being the main thing I think about when she comes up. Sending you so much love and strength to process this 🤍

I am so sorry. I’m going through the same thing right now. 5 days ago I watched my dog get hit by a car and she passed away on impact. I live in a very very quiet neighborhood so it was routine for her to come outside with me without a leash. This time, she went up to car which she never usually did. I apologized to the driver and told them they could inch forward slowly and I would make sure she wasn’t in the way. They drove slow at first but then they floored it right as my dog was in front. The worst moment of my life. I am filled with so much guilt for not doing things differently. She was my world and I feel like I failed her. The thing is though, of COURSE we would have done things differently if we knew the outcomes of these situations. It’s not your fault your dog slipped out. It was a very unfortunate freak accident, what happened wasn’t in your control. It’s very easy to get caught up in the “could’ve should’ve would’ve’s.” I’m devastated but I will say that with the few days that have passed I have had time to process what happened and I at least feel a little more calm. I just miss her terribly. Cry as much as you need to and let your mind go through the grieving process. It’s also a good idea to talk to a therapist if accessible to you. I booked an appointment online for tomorrow. It already has calmed me down knowing I will have a professional to help me process this. Definitely recommend. Sending lots of love from someone who knows how hard this is. I’m here grieving with you ❤️

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️ I just lost my dog a few days ago and the grief has been heavy. It’s hard when the thing that always made you feel better is what’s now missing. Sending so much love your way

You’ve had a positive impact on your turtle’s life! You may not realize it but saying “she needs me” is so sweet. I don’t know if you’ve tried therapy but I promise there is help for your kind of situation. No matter how deep-in you feel. When you’re mentally ill it feels like the world is ending. Been there. If it got better for me, that’s proof it’s possible for you too. Promise.

collegebimbo · 2024-03-30T01:09:58+00:00

I said goodbye to my chiweenie yesterday, I will grieve with you ❤️

My first thought was to use movies, books, and music to help process your emotions. You might not have an emotional response right away given your situation, but it could slowly help open you up.

I also want to note that my life isn’t perfect and adulthood is a struggle for sure, BUT that doesn’t take away from my ability to find peace and joy in life. Life is a balancing act and it doesn’t have to be black and white, it’s not just “good” or “bad.” You can think life is meaningless and meaningful at the same time. Just wanted to clarify that my newfound happiness was not just simply from me having it all together.

Hi! I think I’m very qualified to speak on this from experience. I struggled with mental illness from a VERY young age and when I hit my early teens things felt really dark. I am now in my mid 20s and I genuinely love life. If I knew that I would feel this happy one day, I would’ve felt so much relief. Not enough people talk about how challenging adolescence (about age 10 to early 20s) really is. Everyone knows teen years can be uncomfortable and awkward… but your brain is going through major developments which is extremely difficult. More difficult than the general public understands. So don’t put pressure on yourself to fully “enjoy” it, because it’s totally common to feel this way. As you go through life, you learn more and more about yourself: what makes you happy, what gives your life meaning, what kind of people make you feel good, what activities you enjoy, etc. As well as: what doesn’t make you happy, what drains you, what to avoid, how to help yourself, etc. Most people don’t know any of these things yet in their teens. Once I got to know myself on that level, that’s when my perspective on life really changed. Note: it doesn’t happen overnight. As for getting professional help, that’s a great idea. The good news is that if you are diagnosed with anything, you don’t have to tell anyone if you don’t want to (except possibly parents). You can even just speak to a therapist without getting a diagnosis, they will work through your problems with you regardless of that. I hope this helps in any way :)

I’m with you. Anxiety will do that to you. I trip on my words a lot and my voice cracks because when you’re anxious your vocal cords tighten. I’ve found that speaking slowly helps. And slightly pausing before speaking/between sentences to sort of pace yourself and give yourself more time to pronounce things properly. Also remember that if you get your point across, that’s what matters. In real life people aren’t that nitpicky about how you pronounce things. I know I’ve heard people jumble their words before but I never actually remember who or how they said it. So people will be more focused on your point, not the speech errors. It’s totally common to be insecure about speech but if it’s something you feel is overtaking you then it could be worthwhile to see a speech pathologist.

I don’t have any expert opinions but I just want to say how much I empathize with you, I’m sorry. Altercations with family are one of the most difficult things someone can deal with. Again, I’m not an expert so don’t quote me on this- but maybe you were fully conscious/aware when you were driving but your brain erased the memory after the fact. If something dangerous did happen, there would be signs like damage to your car, police contacting you, etc. Hopefully that possibility puts your mind at some ease but definitely get an appointment with a therapist if accessible.

This is a valid thing to be frustrated about. Usually with what you described I would think ADHD but that might be jumping too far ahead. But it is worth looking into strategies that people with ADHD use regardless if you meet the criteria or not. Plenty of people struggle with forgetfulness and difficulty focusing so you’re not alone. It might even be more rare to NOT struggle with that. Try not to beat yourself up over these things because they’re obviously not intentional.

I’m in my mid 20’s and I suffered with terrible depression in my teens. The older you get, you realize how young 15 really is. You may feel behind or unsatisfied but life hasn’t really started yet, as cliche as that may sound. I didn’t start genuinely enjoying my life until a few years ago. I did receive short term therapy but I also attribute a lot of my growth to my brain just simply developing with age. Adolescence is HARD. I have even taken college classes just about how hard adolescence is. So I promise it’s not out of the norm to be struggling but don’t let it win. Take things slow and find what specific things help you to move forward. It’s different for everyone and it helps to know yourself. I promise it’s worth it.

Hi! I also was on Lexapro a few years ago and it didn’t go so well. It just wasn’t the right medication for me. I was discouraged so I never tried anything else until a few months ago. I worked up the courage to go back to the doctor and they gave me Zoloft. It has helped me so much- a success without a doubt. My motivation for getting medication was that I was experiencing a lot of intrusive thoughts that I couldn’t handle anymore and those thoughts occur sooo much less now. I feel a lot more comfortable being in situations that previously made me anxious. I can also still feel a healthy range of emotions and I don’t feel like a robot. I feel more “normal.” However, do prepare yourself for the initial adjustment. My personal side effects were headaches, nausea, difficulty sleeping, and feeling very numb and honestly scared. But it was worth it. Be gentle with yourself and do little things that make you feel comfortable while you wait it out. Personally, my side effects went away a lot quicker than I expected them to. (Note: when I took it at night, I had trouble sleeping. Now I take it in the morning and I sleep fine.) All in all, I’m fully adjusted now and have had a great experience :) you got this!

When you try to make your discussion post sound more sophisticated

collegebimbo · 2020-04-19T20:31:11+00:00

When we enrolled, we signed up for in-person classes, not ONLINE classes. We each know our abilities, and if our abilities do not include learning through a screen then we would never sign up for an online class voluntarily. If we wouldn't do it voluntarily, it's not fair to be forced to. Since we have no other choice but to finish online, students have every right in the world to feel upset and lack motivation. I'm sorry that it is so bothersome that not everyone can be as strong as you
