frozenmusings:frozenmusings:frozenmusings:First day of College vs Year 6 (2010 - 2016)#pic on the right has witnessed the rise and downfall of several civilizations LMAO appropriate tag3 years AFTER collegewhen everything’s settling, your sleep schedule is righting itself after almost a decade, you’re eating better, recovering from unhealthy weight loss due to stress, drinking more water than you ever did and you’ve got a good, stable job, laughing everyday with friends because you’re genuinely having a good time and not just because it’s 4am, still sitting in class and everyone’s in hysterics… I had made that first post as a joke, but I was in a bad place then. For 7 years, there were several weeks where I went without sleep for 3-4 days at a time, I was always sick, always dehydrated, was so so… empty, going through the motions everyday and not caring if I just barely passed. I became depressed and anxious.. two things I never had to deal with and didn’t know HOW to deal with. I nearly quit. I was convinced I wasn’t going anywhere. I wasn’t even that good of a student. My grades were garbage for the most part. My work was sub par. The only reason I stayed was because I’d already spent a stupid amount of money to be there and I refused to waste it.Now I’m still dealing with depression, though my anxiety is nowhere near as bad as it was. It’s something I work on every day, but it’s not holding me back like it did before. I can truthfully say there’s so much more good in my life now than bad, and I can stay focused on that. School is starting up again, just remember no matter what it puts you through, everything rights itself with time. -- source link
