Hello! I am new to this community, so hello!
I am doing alright, but feeling a bit overwhelmed which graduate school applications and internship applications.
I am happy about the fact that I finished my first draft of my personal statement this week.
I am grateful for my family and their support through everything.
@Krysta99 welcome to the community! So glad to have you! Yes, all the applications can be nerve wracking for sure. I am glad you have support of your family. Gratitude is a good thing to find and hold onto, in good times and bad.

idk. sometimes i think i'm doing great and i can do anything my mind sets me to. but other times i want to crawl under a rock and die. lately i can't sleep because of anxiety. I've been doing everything i can to be happy and stuff but it wears thin. i'm still struggling with the fact that i'm...idk how to spell it "neuroatypical" i think and it's like...everytime i try to make friends i chase them away. I'm happy enough being alone i guess. but the pain is knowing so many people out there hate me without knowing me. and the anxiety makes me think people are talking about me or looking at me in public or judging me. it's been really hard lately. i know they aren't actually staring and judging. but the feeling is still there. i want a nice rock i can crawl under. my grandma got covid but got better so that's good. she means everything to me.
@oroboros I am sorry to hear you are suffering. Anxiety can be really rough on a person. It can be difficult to cope with. I believe you can indeed acheive anything you put your mind to. I am glad you come out from under your rock to visit with us.
