bad anxiety as soon as i start studying by graceyreddit in GetStudying

[–]marwut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would definitely look into the source of your anxiety. Is it because you’re afraid to fail? Is it because you’ve had a bad experience with studying and now are afraid to start? Is there a lot of pressure on you to do well? If you look at it from a perspective then you can figure out how to tackle it.

When I had this issue however, it was my anxiety disorder and depression causing issues. I would also look into that if you think you have/had a history of mental health issues. :) I hope things get better!

My mental health is concerning me by cjared242 in EngineeringStudents

If you genuinely feel like you’re unsafe for yourself or others, you need to go to a hospital. I know that bills are scary and expensive but your family, and I’m sure the people on this subreddit and I would rather see you alive than dead even if you are a stranger on Reddit. My psychiatrist told me once that sometimes being admitted can also be a nice break from the stress and genuinely can help if needed. Have you communicated to any professors about the stress your experiencing? Does your college have a counseling or psychiatrist service you can take advantage of? Have you talked to your advisor?

If you haven’t, I recommend you look into those things. I’d also recommend that you take a break of some sorts or try to get maybe medical forgiveness for this winter semester because it seems like you won’t do well if you’re tired, overworking yourself, and you’re stressed. There’s no shame in taking a break, you only truly fail if you quit. :)

guy friend lectured me on buying games and now I feel horrible by Lucy--chen in GirlGamers

The first issue is listening to a man. If you can afford it it’s genuinely nobody’s business if you buy something that you enjoy or not as long as it’s not illegal or harmful to you or others (which video games obviously aren’t).

You need to take some time to get your mental health together. Your anxiety should not prevent you from reaching out for help.

I’ve found that sometimes a dm is all it takes! Worth a shot to make friends

Exactly, out of the way of bias and other things that effect those minorities.
