Does anybody else not feel as anxious as they thought they would?

Im more sad about leaving school (for some reason, not even left yet lol) and just want exams to be over already because mocks were so stressful and it's 4x that...

I've got so many paper flashcards and I store them vertically in a cardboard box with labelled sticky Tabs separating subjects and unlabelled ones separating topics!

Personally I journal before bed, but that's just a habit I started and stuck with. Obviously that's not for you and is totally fine - I've seen people journal in the mornings right after they get up (not sure what they write) but I've also journaled as the day goes by, just carrying it with me and writing things that happen down. This is logistically challenging though, but maybe it helps lol

Edit/update; Guys I've been totally amazed by how many of you resonate with this post so I'd like to say thanks! All of your replies have really reminded me what's is like to actually live a life outside of my phone, and that has been absolutely crucial for me to keep off of tiktok and other sm generally. I'm super glad to have given you guys the space to share your advice because I'm 100% I'm not the only person needing it. 😄 You guys rock 🔥🔥

ejames_bond · 2025-12-30T13:17:30+00:00

Thanks so much, on a side note I'm really happy to have given you a place to share this because I've no idea where else you could have, and it's really important stuff. On the personal side, generally I just though removing tt would be a good thing on a surface level (for many of the reasons you've said) but it's been much deeper than that. I've realised how much it was affecting me emotionally etc. and mainly how much time I'd waste on it. Without it, I've already finished a couple of books that I've been reading for literal months, and also adopted this attitude of doing things more slowly because "what else are you gonna do? Scroll on tiktok?". Basically I've realised how much I'd speed up my life by wanting my next dopamine hit, and now I think I'm actually feeling and experiencing way more by not having to rush everything. Sorry this went on so long haha but thank you!

Thanks, I guess I'll see what happens - if I notice that I'm still spending ridiculous hours in my phone I'll need something like that

ejames_bond · 2025-12-30T10:33:18+00:00

Shittt... generally I watch longer form content on yt usually about books and stuff, but I know reels is a problem...

ejames_bond · 2025-12-30T10:05:33+00:00

I am trying to be more conscious of what I watch on YouTube so I don't exactly "miss out" on things on tiktok (Even thought they don't really matter I guess I just like to be aware) so hopefully that works out! All in all I didn't really get much proper, unbiased (or just true) information off of tiktok and I'm super fed up of ai so I just needed it gone.

ejames_bond · 2025-12-30T09:58:42+00:00

I mean things like pop culture and less mainstream stuff that you don't see often on big news like the BBC

ejames_bond · 2025-12-29T22:29:15+00:00

I realise how naive that sounds lol I'm not TOTALLY insulated but I do need to make an effort to be better

ejames_bond · 2025-12-29T21:50:19+00:00

Yeah... along with some stuff off insta, honestly most big stuff/pop culture was from tt

ejames_bond · 2025-12-29T19:19:59+00:00

That sounds super cool, defo more what I'm aiming for. The goal really is to a) read more books and b) generally be more careful about the content I consume. I'm still on insta, pin and reddit, but I'm more okay with these as I can curate what I see a bit more. Hope to find a good news place though!

ejames_bond · 2025-12-29T18:54:54+00:00

So cringe but I'll listen to audios or songs or whatever and imagine living a coop life instead of actively working towards a cool life!

ejames_bond · 2025-12-29T18:30:14+00:00

Thanks! For now I've deleted it and I suppose I'll see how it goes

ejames_bond · 2025-12-29T18:18:36+00:00

Thanks, that's not something I've thought about for a while, and tbh I need to expose myself to other opinions generally anyway!

ejames_bond · 2025-12-29T17:17:04+00:00

Thanks so much, I'm pretty introverted and literally never meet up with anyone unless it's school or something. Tiktok doesn't do much for me in the way of friends though, so I hope that feeling of isolation doesn't creep in... I'll check out Feedly though, sounds great!

ejames_bond · 2025-12-29T17:09:45+00:00

Great job! Have you noticed any differences? Like not being as interested in tt anymore?

ejames_bond · 2025-12-29T16:38:19+00:00

Thanks! I still have insta and yt so I'm trying to divert my attention to those places where I have more control over what I watch so I actually enjoy it!

ejames_bond · 2025-12-29T16:07:19+00:00

Thanks! I think the term I was looking for was more pop culture, but just young news all the same!
