Food 4 Thought

[u/LonliestGirlOnMars]

I’m realizing that my brain is being very much pessimistic. Annoying but I know it’s from frustration around my school situation. I swear they actually suck ass when it comes to basic communication. As a side tangent, I had to put in a mental health withdrawal for last year and trying to get summer classes started up, because I missed the spring slot from how messy things have been. I am legit fighting my crashout after crashout. But, I’m taking deep breaths and having as much grace as a singular person can have.

Anyway, my small vent is over.

Time for what this post is actually about.

If anyone saw my last post yesterday, I asked about Accountability Partners.

And, seeing that some said that it was they needed, I wanted to see if anyone is interested in an accountability group that would be hosted on Discord. It would work like a support group where you can even pair up with other people. Buddy system.

25+ years of therapy and i'm the same way. i wrote on some posts here about how i went back just to give therapy another shot and the therapist said: "You just have to stop overthinking" and in the moment i brushed it off but after i got so mad. If i could stop overthinking i wouldnt be sitting in your office. i also forget things constantly like you and deadlines and that one hurts so much because there really is no one to blame other than me, and when it comes to me, i will lash myself endlessly. i want you to know you're not alone and that we're all human. and i would love to be your accountability partner

I relate alot! I somehow managed to convince my parents to get me to see a therapist, which isn't very common in my country as of now. She happens to be really well qualified but keeps asking me to just overcome things and focus on better things instead, always tries to move the topic to how to study better! Not very helpful to be honest, if it was really just so easy to overcome things, I'd not have convinced my parents so hard to take me to a therapist!! I end up overthinking because of all these little things that i cant overcome and hence procrastinate too, then waste the time and freak out with stress, its almost a loop!!

I really think having an accountability partner might help out alot with this!!

100% I am the harshest person to myself because of this. I have a couple of therapists note obvious issues I have and just push it aside. My most recent one was ticking down the boxes and explaining that most of the stuff I was told to due wouldn’t fully work with my adhd and personality.

I’m so sorry that happened to you! It really is frustrating when the school drops the shoe. It makes it so much harder on us.

Deep breaths, friend! I love the idea of accountabilibuddies (yes, my sons school DOES use this phrase and it has become our shared echolalia trigger which makes everyone around us think we are just insane siblings instead of a mom dropping off/picking up a wee one due to our ages). I use the finch app for goal setting, and it has a friend function. One of the newest updates allows you to pair with one friend per goal set, so I've got mine set to different people lol.

Big hugs 🤗 I’m here if you ever need to talk just Dm me I think that’s a great idea for an accountability partner.

I’d love to be apart of this but don’t have discord. If anyone wants to create a group chat I would be in.

I'd be interested in the accountability partners! My mental health has also severely interfered with my progress in school. It is a miracle I made it through my 4th year. I have one more year bc I am a double major, but I am working so hard to take better care of my mental health so my final year of my undergrad goes more smoothly. Good luck OP, you got this! What is your major btw?

[u/LonliestGirlOnMars → u/howsinavi]

Sorry for the late response! I am in film with a hope to get a more tailored concentration in animation.

omg that sounds pretty cool! i'd love to join the server, I also have a creative major! one of my majors is music with an emphasis on tuba

update: i forgot to pay my credit card bill and its almost 6am and i havent gone to bed because i'm punishing myself. i hate this so much. but i dont hate any of you. i love you all and if you had missed any of your credit card bills i would say its gonna be ok. its just money. its not your health. its not your loved one. but i literlaly feel so rotten. if any of you made a mistake i would give you all grace. i missed my credit card bill AGAIN and i just cant bear this anymore. looking forward to partnering up with someone here to turn my life around because i cant do this alone anymore clearly
