#college broke my brain

[themaurice]

Has anyone here experienced being understimulated in a dense sociology exam you haven’t studied for, because honestly it really is a specially crafted hell.

#feeling sad over a relationship that's over (and never really started officially) sucks #like ok we're drifting apart and a few months back you were my favorite person in the world #but also fuck you bc you took that for granted and i deserve better. but if you didn't do that you'd be perfect for me and maybe you are #like it just feels so cliche and melodramatic and insignificant. especially when everything else is so great #my career is thriving and my mentors are incredible and my self confidence is the best it's been in years (possibly ever) #i should be reading the original goddamn brain candy script that i somehow now own #not being angsty about some queer college student that broke my heart ffs. priorities #but yeah i guess part of being human is being sad over dumb shit sometimes and venting on tumblr over it #i'm gonna go to sleep goodnight mutuals who read my vent posts to make sure i'm ok i love you

i don't WANT my introduction to people to include the fact that my mom had cancer in 2020 but the rules of social convention prompt them to ask me why i started working so late (2022) when i graduated in 2019 and when i tell them my parents were sick they ask me if it was covid and when i tell them it wasn't they ask me what it was and i am forced to reveal that it was cancer after which they'll coo at me at which point i feel bad bc i feel like I've manipulated them like it's sooo stupid

#i mean. DID watching both my parents be ill with something that could kill them within 3 months if each other fuck me up completely? yes! #and also probably broke my brain beyond repair im sure but like. I DON'T WANT IT TO DEFINE ME #but like IDK. IT'S SOMETHING THAT GETS BROUGHT UP AND IM LIKE. ACTUALLY. I DON'T WANNA TELL YOU. #but then i have to tell them and in some ways it feels nice to just. TALK about it. because i still haven't talked about it with anyone #that properly #but on the other hand it's like. GIRL DON'T #anyway #tw cancer #whatever im fine it's fine #a college senior called me bc he just had my number and wanted to see who it was and it came up and he's like OMG MY BATCHMATE'S MOM DIED #bc her cancer came back four times so be careful. #like okay bro thanks 😭😭

my most self indulgent hc that is closest to my heart and haven't talked about in years is vespa ilkay filipino (her eyes have a rage you only see in 3rd world med students)

#when u grow up in a place where going into healthcare is a ticket out of ur shithole country that exports 10000s f healthcare workers yearly #but only if you're a nurse or some other profession that can still get ordered around in hospitals #the amount of MDs i know who tried working abroad thn got their degrees & licenses rejected so they had to pick up...a wildly different job #and also vespa ilkay medtech grad real in my heart of course (points at heart of it all pt 2 the blood tells you everything) #and vespa ilkays mom ofw na unti-unting hindi na umuwi also real in my third secret heart #her network of med professional friends is fucking huge bc filipinos go into pre/med expecting half the ppl to leave for richer countries #which is to say most of my friends are already making plans of leaving for the usa/australia/singapore etc etc and some are there already #most of her college batch is scattered across the galaxy they have a groupchat named 'brain drain gang class of 2XXX' or wtv the fuck #but also college swamp girl vespa is just so dear to my heart like the mental image of her #studying under a mosquito net sweating wearing a neck fan with her illegally photocopied medical textbooks from rangian recto avenue #she broke my 'characters i love are southeast asian (in general) characers i hate and want to suffer are filipinos' rule i'm sorry queen #skl.txt #rangian recto avenue whee she gets a fake marriage certificate for her and buddy for shits n giggles #guy who knows all the alumni gives her one for free when she visits they have copies of the vesbud wanted posters behind the counter

“hey bones how ya doing bestie?”

well. i’m watching the sandman at school today because i’m full of melancholy (someone come balance my humors)

but i also finally figured out how the wheel works in my pottery class!! apparently i am severely left handed when throwing so i have to switch the wheel to go clockwise instead of counter-clockwise. but once we figured that out i made three bowls :3

#bones.txt #brain machine broke #bones does college #playing with mud temporarily solves like 80% of my issues

every time my car breaks down or i don't have a car is the most miserable time of my life. i neeeeed a car. i have to go. i need to be away. now!

#my car broke down 2 days ago #and we don't know wtf why and it looks like it won't be even checked for some time #and i fucking want to blow my brains out #i need my car #if not for my school schedule (i love 50min away from my college) #than for my personal sanity!! #fck i need my night drives 😭😭😭 #personal #ready to kms

[charlie-pippin-faraday]

is there a job where i can sit and sort things on shelves all day? is that a career path? bc i'm coming to terms with the fact that i am not cut out for the corporate world whatsoever, it is incompatible with me. i don't have the stomach for a fast paced job

#my brain broke in college #i don't have the skills or capacity to do literally anything anymore #it's like i've got permanent burnout

[wheretheeternalare]

if you've found my presence on this website annoying over the past few months just know that at least once a week i consider changing my blog title to "sorry for posting so much it's because i'm mentally unwell"

#like i'm fine. but also we are approaching spring 2019 levels of wacky up in here (my mind) #(sp19 the semester my brain broke and could only think about [redacted] and also dropping out of college) (which i ultimately didn't do) #(but will i now impulse quit my job? only time will tell)

i’ll spend months daydreaming about the fics i wanna write and even hours drafting outlines

but the actual writing is just…..impossible for some reason

#not sure if college broke my brain #it was supposed to get better when i got my own place

Was someone gonna tell me MPA got renamed or was I just meant to find out on a random Monday morning by opening Tapatalk?

#MPA #ED #eating disorder #my college roommate tells me I’ve lost weight nearly every time I see her and it’s both nice and disconcerting. Like #she knows about my ED and still says this #and the thing is I know I haven’t??? Like huh? #NONE of my measurements are smaller: weight. BF%. in/cm measures #On one hand my brain is like ‘be flattered’ but on the other it’s like ‘damn. she consistently remembers me as bigger than I am.’ #Anywho. the MPA name change is so wild to me. I feel aged in the ED community. #I remember being younger. in the age of pro-tips and public shamings for eating people taking about having EDs for decades. #now here I am seemingly recovered and going to MPA on a random Monday morning only to discover one of the hanging-on reminders of that time #MPA has changed its name #am I an ED ‘elder’/long-hauler/oldie now? does a decade of active participation in my ED make that true regardless? #Idk. recovery is weird. I still identify with my ED in so many ways #I spent more of my life that I remember in my ED than out of it – arguably all of it but that’s an acknowledgement I avoid – and yet now… #now I’m recovered (in recovery) and the mental obsessions feel more like content from a shitty seminar than consuming. #numbers. volume. variety. nutrients. they all feel rather boring. I don’t find myself thinking on them or caring about my intake. #I only puke when I’m sick. only worry about volume as it relates to fullness and my chronic nausea. variety’s only an issue when I’m broke. #nutrients and ingredients only matter so far as I have low iron and am vegetarian. and the only times I don’t eat enough are when I’m sick #or too broke to buy more groceries and have to stretch my food until I next get some cash. The number on the scale. the size of my body. #All the things that used to define my life are like cars passing on a road – I see them but they’re seemingly irrelevant now. #When did I become like this? Calm in what used to make my ED spiral? How is it that a summer two years ago I felt done with my ED then was?
