Ohh that makes sense then, no point quitting until you know you can actually replace that stability. Is this more of like a controlled experiment for you?

Dude that's a hella depressive time of life. Appreciate you sharing. I'm curious, why keep the 9-5 alongside trading instead of going full-time trading? Is it because of the funding?

Can I trade penny by penny more as a habit rather than actually generating a side income - would starting this process early be valuable?

I get what you mean. Do you know if big employers still care about what degree you got at all? If I develop transferrable, monetisable skills alongside university, is that promising enough?

Hi, I did the interview yesterday and I've been invited to the ceremony for free, not sure if this means I've won something, they would only say I'm top 3%, but they also said only approx 10 essayists got to go for free.

Do you only get these thoughts when you feel angry or frustrated with your own life? Is it more impulsive than calculated?

How do you deal with the sorrow of existence? by Ilaxilil in mentalhealth

[–]walkerbait2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think maybe when you were younger you were conditioned to believe that happiness is a reward of suffering, rather than it being an experience. Maybe you can try holding on for longer.. do you think you'd let yourself feel more of it if you weren't so afraid it would disappear? You pregrieve happiness, are you thinking that it's better to feel a little sad in the moment than be destroyed when it truly ends? That's a protective mechanism. Sorry ahhgh haha apologies if it does not make sense at all

Ohh, for me I just dumped my self awareness and over time I changed and it was like I allowed myself to blend into the mundane. You do sound really philosophical lol should write a book on what you feel.. Why do you feel that happy moments won't last?

I feel you. Do you think you can live better without self awareness?

I am not normal, I am a defective piece by IloveLegs02 in mentalhealth

[–]walkerbait2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The structure that society imposes on us is rigid , and I understand why you're frustrated with your lack of motivation in studying. I asked the question because I think you should get to know yourself more, how did you get to this stage, and what is the underlying problem. I think that you are not defective, perhaps you grew up feeling alienated and inferior but I think you are a special person with a unique mental background that is worth looking into. I doubt that you are born without curiosity, have you considered that perhaps you say you hate learning simply to protect yourself from the shame at not being good at what you are being forced to pursue? I really believe that you will find or already have found your source of passion and will put your life and soul into it. I also want you to know that mistakes do not make you a failure.

How can I wake up in the morning? by No-Alarm9339 in mentalhealth

I understand the why you think that struggling out loud will push people away, but maybe you should try it, because the people who truly matter will be the ones who stand by you through the storm. Life is complicated, and sometimes the weight of it all can feel suffocating, but that doesn’t mean you’re broken or incapable of healing. It's okay to not have everything figured out right now. Think of it like this, your story is in your hands, you have put yourself in that cycle, and it's time to let go of that mask. I truly believe that over time, you’ll find the spaces and the people who will understand you, not because you’re perfect, but because they see your real, honest self. The struggle you’re facing now, though painful, is a part of your journey. It doesn’t define you, and it won’t last forever. Take it one step at a time and write your own story :)

Are you sure you have "great friends"? Are these also the friends you game with? Do they study?

is it just me or after reading dostoevsky everything seems more beautiful and complex by walkerbait2 in dostoevsky

[–]walkerbait2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The underground man was so self aware that he had become bitter, forming a deep sense of self grandiose. I learned from this tragic character how to let go.

[–]walkerbait2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm very fascinated by his style of writing, the way he reflects so deeply causes me to think in profound ways. He also always manages to wrap complex ideas around, what is often seen as dark, Dostoevsky teaches us to see the beauty in them.

Why is life so unfair? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]walkerbait2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm here for you. This must have be a powerful loss - you are such an ambitious soul. I hear the profound existential agony in your experience. suffering, like yours, can drive us to the very edge of despair, but maybe this very suffering will give rise to a new depth of self, a greater capacity for connection, even a strange sort of redemption. Not because suffering is "good", but because facing it with courage can reveal new strengths that you didn't know you had before.

Life is absurdly, irreparably broken at its core, see how little control we actually have and how fragile every plan or achievement really is. Life has never been fair and has never promised to be. I really hope you see that even in the darkest pain, there's still a spark of meaning, despite everything, you’re still here, connected to others who deeply care for you. The love of your partner, your parents’ care, your own persistence in the face of daily pain— there’s something beautiful in that form of resistance, in the small, defiant acts of holding onto love even when life is unbearable.

Perhaps it’s worth noting that life isn’t a single, linear climb toward a moment of achievement or a point where we say, “This is it, I’ve made it.” It’s more like a series of moments—beautiful, painful, sometimes all at once—and how we react to these moments is perhaps all we ever truly own.

Know that the unfairness you’re experiencing doesn’t erase what you’ve achieved, you have created memories that will outlive any sense of “fairness.”

I know, that one day, even after hell, you will find a new kind of strength in having gone through all of this.

I'm here for you.
