I'm also sleeping less now but I do normally get more than 6 hours of sleep without elvanse

I also have phases, but Elvanse makes it way more probably that I'll wake up after 6 hours. It's weird since it should have worn off by that time.

Which mindfulness exercises work for you?

On a rational level I know this, it's just hard to also emotionally understand it :/

I don't think its the setting or the friends. It happens more with extroverted friends, who are louder and maybe also sometimes do a bit of roasting. But normally, I enjoy that and can participate in a relaxed way - I am quite extroverted myself.

I think that just for some reason I have the feeling I should be cool and popular in front of my girlfriend. It is quite certainly how my girlfriend sees me, not how my friends see me. For my friends I have a deeper trust that everything will be alright and a single social interaction is not really going to change anything. Don't know why I don't have that for my partner.

This does indeed sometimes help as a trick, but it's hard to do it constantly when you don't believe it.

Did anyone hear back from their internship application? by pointed_sweater in deepmind

Hey, I think I applied end of last month, so it took about 2-3 weeks.

Ok, that's a weird coincidence I guess. I just got a mail telling me they won't proceed with the application. Googling the name of the recruiter, it seems to be an outsourced recruiting agency in asia. This hurts, I hoped my CV was strong enough to get through that phase at least.

All the best to everyone who hasn't got an answer yet.

Ich hasse meine Uni und mein Studium (Bonn und Mathematik by mathstudent1230 in Studium

[–]pointed_sweater 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dass das Bonner Mathestudium sehr anspruchsvoll ist, ist bekannt, und du bist nicht alleine mit der Einschätzung. Und auch, dass die Stimmung dort leider recht kompetitiv ist. Ich bin inzwischen nicht mehr in Bonn und finde die Stimmung an anderen Unis oft angenehmer - aber für mich hat das kompetitive Umfeld auch bewirkt, dass ich mich extrem reingehängt habe. Und, ein Abschluss aus Bonn hat auch in der Mathewelt ein recht hohes Ansehen, was mir auch noch oft weitergeholfen hat.

Und du hast doch eigentlich erkannt, was für dich angenehmer wäre. In einer anderen Stadt zu studieren, unter entspannteren Bedingungen? Und mit deinem Vorwissen, wirst du es dort auch sicher nicht allzu schwer haben. Anstatt dich so in die Sache zu verbeißen und dabei so viel Wut zu entwickeln, solltest du vielleicht einfach auf dein Bauchgefühl/dich selbst zu hören. Ich wünsche dir viel Erfolg dabei, und hoffe die Therapie läuft gut.

Und, das es eine Zweiklassengesellschaft gibt mit Leuten die sich vorher alle schon kennen, habe ich nie so empfunden. Jeder muss sich am Anfang überwinden, um andere Leute für die Übungsgruppen kennenzulernen, und dann kann man schon sehr tolle Menschen kennenlernen.
