★★★Thank you for joining 7 Cups! Good luck to you all★★★
Hi everyone! I joined 7 Cups as a listener a couple of weeks ago.
Hello everyone! I hope your New Years season has been going well for you. I joined 7 cups in the hopes of bettering my mental after a stressful and tiresome year that was 2018. Im 23 years old and Ive dealt with high functioning depression and anxiety for most of life now.
I did two years of tertiary study and realised last year that I cannot go on with further studies if I wanted... to stay alive in simple terms. Each time I didnt an A or even a B+ on an assignment, it would mentally wreck me and each time I started a new assignment I would convince myself that it wasnt going to be good enough.
It became like a viscous cycle, my grade would go down and my depression and anxiety got worse because of it. And because my mental health was preventing me from performing well in my studies my grades would get even lower.
Anyways, to cut the long story short, I managed to pass my studies last year by the skin of my teeth and this year I decided to focus on improving my work performance and improving myself.
I hope to talk to more of you as the year goes on and I hope we can improve ourselves together. 😊
@JessiValerian Impressive! Thanks for sharing. I see some parallels with you. How were you able to achieve that transition?
@sunnyBike7810 The transition of going from full time study back to full time work? I'm not sure how I managed to do it if I'm going to be honest haha! But I think having a good network of collogues/friends that enjoy working with me helped, even though I may not necessarily do as good of a job as them.
@JessiValerian
Sounds like you have a lot of high expectations of your academic pursuits, which is good until it mentally wrecks you! Nothing wrong with B's, just sayin'! Anyhow, enjoy your studies and being here on 7 cups.
❑ How are you doing?
I'm doing not-so-great, to be honest. I have my finals in 2 days, but I still haven't finished my final assignment which is due tomorrow so I guess I'm kinda scared, anxious and stressed.
❑ What do you like to do for self-care?
I usually listen to songs, write random things or just take a long shower. It makes me feel at ease and forget the world for a while.
❑ How did you hear about 7 Cups of Tea?
I actually saw this app on App store while browsing through apps that could help for managing stress/self-care, and what brought me there was through this guy on instagram. He spreads positivity and told me to take care of myself, which what drove me here, i guess
Good luck with your finals! @Krysanne
