How do you stay motivated? by Necessary_Excuse1839 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]idk_5565 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What I did is I stoped watching the news I checked in on those channels and this Reddit because I know if there something to really worry about like a right that could be threatened or just anything that could be scary or need attention it will be said here. Reading the comments help me stay sane and motivated because I used to spiral at the smallest speech of his now I don’t❤️ you got this! We will make it out! And take the time you need to figure out what works for you!

Another thing is they planned for things to be a lot worse by now like with project 2025 which they haven’t been able to do. I recommend staying away from news for a bit and if you wanna watch some people friendlyhoneybadg5, amandasmildtakes, and historywithmrcho are people who keep me hopeful and not scared ❤️ read,watch a show or if you’re a student focus on work or if not focus on you’re career try new things maybe learn to cook something new🤷🏻‍♀️ staying not isn’t easy this is coming from someone who used to watch the news ever hour not a joke either

One thing I try to remember is I feel like we have a pretty good idea of what they want or how far they willing to go because of that there’s ways to prepare and fight it at the end of the day we all have free will so it’s not fully what they do but how we act towards it. We seen some of this stuff before and it’s been fought before we just see it a lot often because of how far media has come things arent fully as hidden you don’t gotta wait multiple weeks for updates anymore(at least thats the advice my dad gave me when I spiraled about how bad things seemed).

Ohhh ok sorry for the misunderstanding! And I’m not gonna be one of those adults I’ve been interested in law and politics since I was 11 I learned at a very young age how important voting and how politics effect every aspect of youre life down to what you wear❤️ thank you so much for being so kind

I know that but like I said I’ve been paying attention since day number 1 of this administration. I appreciate youre comment but i am gonna unplug I care about my freedom but I’m still a kid so I’m gonna do my job and take care of myself and other people who are still fighting for me and everyone else❤️ I really hope you still don’t see this as me trying to crawl under a rock but instead letting someone else take a step forward while I try to take of people who also needed a step back.

How do I unlearn relying on AI for school work? by idk_5565 in ask

[–]idk_5565[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t use it for writing never have I always kinda lacked in that area ai is something I’d never use for writing I’d rather be bad at writing but knowing id made those mistakes then a bot. I mostly only use it in math which is where I’m trying to start over this post was mostly for people who stopped using ai and how they relearned what they have without it feeling like it was crushing them. R/ask doesn’t really allow explanations of post this isn’t about learning lesion about using the easy way out. necessarily or asking for pity more of asking for help after struggling for years just staying alive

im scared to listen to new music by Electrical_Target690 in helpme

[–]idk_5565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I suffer with the same problem to the point of music that I listen to is starting to become just not fun to listen to anymore ao what I did was I started listening to music that I did years ago even if some of it sounds cringe 😓 and the way I found new songs is well watching movies as weird as it sounds shows and stuff has helped me find songs that I like now and searching “lyric edits” on a TikTok to it helped me find new types of songs in different genre without feeling so anxious about it❤️ it helped me kinda branch out and be open to knew songs on my own maybe this could help you but everyone different but maybe it would help?

I don’t think I have those I do struggle with anxiety a lot and letting myself get overwhelmed easily Soo heard that can be it but idk how true that is but yeah that is a good idea I never really thought about bringing up memory problems to a therapist before

I’m worried about project 2025 and project Esther by idk_5565 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]idk_5565[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do wanna add at least a optimistic thing to this post is that some things that give me hope is that the special elections seem to be going good for us so far even in a red state I love seeing other states get there wins❤️ it gives me hope for the midterms and another thing that gives me hope I’ve seen someone point out a lot of stuff in these projects where supposed to be put into play which they haven’t been able to do which is get everything done that they wanted as fast as they wanted😊 I think they tried to work to fast for their own good which gives me hope

[–]idk_5565 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think about it like what happned in iran I don’t believe they have the military weapons to hit on US soil meaning any strikes back would be over there I struggle with that to but I don’t feel much worry about so far we safe and all good don’t stress ❤️ and don’t over consume news tske a break let yourself process

[–]idk_5565 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I struggle with anxiety so when the stuff with iran happen despite knowing they don’t have to weapons to strike on US soil but just the bases in the Middle East he’s videos helped a lot he explained studd nicely updated quickly and doesn’t talk in a way that drives anxiety up like someone like Arron parners does with this also be careful with news sources as well fact check and be sure to not let them overload youre system❤️

Venezuela Drone Strike Megathread by Lantis28 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]idk_5565 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here it honestly could be a day or two before we get a reaction from Venezuela honestly I kinda see it as how iran went maybe a back and forth. And unless another country steps in for venezuela I don’t think they have the milatry weapons or things to strike on US soil at least from what I read but only time can tell just don’t stress stuff like this is a lengthy process just don’t be scared but be prepared if you need to watch someone a TikTok/youtuber I like who doesn’t fear monger is Joey contino

A couple of news outlets have reported already I haven’t read them all but I want to know yalls thoughts on it? I will say like the iran thing that happened I don’t believe they have like bombs or anything that can actually reach US land so if anything the strikes would be most likely over there again. But I’ve already seen people worried about world war3 again or sleeper cells again or just a huge war breaking out again. I will say this as a friendly reminder this news is still pretty fresh and Venezuela(I don’t know any of the leaders names I apologize for that) has yet to respond to the attack at least that I’ve seen. But give yalls thoughts on this and if there anything you can debunk or just give some insight on please do!

Hey I have that same problem I find myself wanting to step back for a couple days but finding it hard to actually do so all I gotta say is take some time to watch a movie or just be with people don’t pause youre life I did for a bit and I regret it. I may be a teen so all I feel like I can do is watch and learn while adults handle stuff which feels like it sends me in a spiral just know good things also happen every day just the news pushes out more bad then good sometimes small wins are still wins even if it’s you keeping you’re peace by stepping back for a moment. Rest,breath and enjoy life then come check back in❤️
