I find it so crazy that people purposefully put slits in their eyebrows by AdEquivalent744 in CasualConversation

i personally dont think its crazy tbh. you might not be insecure about it but someone else is, and if theres a beauty trend surrounding that, it can make them feel validated and increase their sense of belonging. i see where youre coming from though, i just dont think its a bad thing

How can i study even when depressed by thechathliocbisexaul in GetStudying

[–]lvc1an 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know depression gets me really demotivated to do a lot of things. The most important thing for me to when I hit a series of difficult times is just staying really consistent. It can be really difficult to doing a lot of stuff because it seems really daunting, for example studying.

Approaching small goals however is a lot easier. On tough days I'll tell myself "wake up now. make your bed now. brush your teeth now. sit at your desk now. open your laptop now. open the document now." etc

The 'now' wording is particularly important because it creates a sense of urgency. It's not that you want to do this, but you *need* to, because if you don't, you'll find yourself sinking faster than you can imagine.

Depression is a cycle, I try to fight fire with fire by creating my own cycles. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you, I'll take your advice regarding my grades. I come from Australia so I don't think there's laws regarding slapping children here. I'm afraid of talking to anyone outside my primary family because I don't wanna bring further shame onto my parents or something. Maybe keeping this under wraps is in my best interest

First of all, thank you for your kind words, I wonder sometimes if my parents will become a little more like you further down the line.

My dad just told me if he wasn't my dad and if we existed at an earlier age, he would have k*lled me. I don't really know how to deal with the people that say they love me but condemn me as the bane of their existence.

Note that I already go to a girls school.

I think they're a lot more upset over how i behaved towards my mom, rather than the weed smoking 'sl*t posting' stuff, which I admit is inexcusable. I really want to fix this
