graduate school admissions test (GRE) in a few weeks, and... i'm not feeling bad about it? that feels scary to say, or to ~put out there~, but i've taken a bunch of practice tests now and i'm going to keep doing practice problems until i take it. I signed up for the GRE psych test for the fall as well, and everything in The Future just feels more attainable today.

like i'm not in high school anymore, gearing up for another 4 more years of college. i'm not a freshman in college anymore, with COVID hitting and trying not to imagine being at home for the rest of my college time. i'm here, and it's my second summer not being depressed in a few years, and i'm not just not depressed but i'm happy, and i still have wild ups and downs but when i'm down i so rarely feel like i'm never going to be up again?

i've restarted therapy, specifically targeting c-PTSD this time (please feel free to ask any questions about it!! i'm doing EMDR, which is so interesting to me both in how i'm experiencing it as a patient and as a type of therapy that i might one day like to practice), and, occasionally, sometimes, i feel like i'm going to be able to draw boundaries? As in, after my therapy session on wednesday i was like—hold up, i could draw boundaries. (and that was one of the first times that i genuinely, in my heart, felt like that was something possible to do.)

i'm just... feeling good. extremely decent. riding the ups and downs. studying for the future. feeling a bit like things are clicking, and even when i hate everything and the dishes suck my soul as they pile up in the sink, and it's obnoxious going back to my family home most weekends, there's a future that's feeling more solid day by day:) <3

Riku: THATS TWO

#alter: riku #alter: lucille #that aside #honestly i dont think we really need to study #so much as de-rust our gears #because the gre is much more like an IQ test than it is a proper knowledge-based test #so other than our brain having to pause and try to calculate 6/3 after having not taken a math test in two years #its honestly not that hard and honestly is kind of fun

I need to go back to school right now. I was sitting around bored last night because I didn't have homework to do. I can't live like this.

#I did vector math problems on my phone instead 😭 #I am getting a GRE test prep book tonight and am going to start studying #I need to find a place to take the test and pick a date #I have decided on two grad schools I'm going to apply to... I need to find at least one more if not two #I think my goal is going to be to get into a school for fall 2024 #that gives me a year to take my test and apply to everywhere I need

Me to friends: Mental health is the key to college. You can't pour from an empty glass, and you can't use and uncharged battery.

Me to myself: GRAD SCHOOL'S DON'T LOOK AT YOUR MENTAL HEALTH, THEY LOOK AT YOUR GRADES

otherwise, i'm continuing on my internship for the summer!! still helping bbs overcome their anxiety at a therapy practice, and feeling super confident about it which is just really fun because i remember so much last year when I was extremely nervous about it all. very happy to answer any questions, and i'll try to make more psych fact posts as i continue learning! also it's been just about a year since i've started reading again!!! and i'm still going!!!
