i am male, attending uni now, i sometimes feel like my brain is getting rotten day by day, i was not like this before, i sometimes feel like crying , am deeply hopeless , i seem to everyone that knows me fine but as far as i know am in the brink of falling apart, i dont even know where to start explaining myself if anyone asks me, ... i just dont know
May 27, 2024I felt the exact same way in uni. And i was really depressed and i didn't even know why. My friends and everyone around me thought i was fine cuz i hide it pretty well. I don't know what to tell you because it only started getting better once i graduated and i started making major decions in my life. If something was making me unhappy i withdrew compleletly when i had the freedom. I Dont know why you're like that but the reason might be closer than you think. Writing did really help me like cope with it.Maybe if it helps you can journal about the way you feel. Your post reminded me of a poem i wrote in uni. We're standing still With our rotting minds Away it goes As we type There comes a time Where we stop and wonder If our dreams were more than our deeds If Our sins were more than our faith So hold my hand Get me out of this bliss Somebody hear me As my head screams in to an illusion I see But dont wanna abandon Please set me free My ways are flawed Im always feeling tapped In my own little world.
May 27, 2024i think the whole system of uni pushes us to be that way added to other problems and as someone who's fighting to not get back to that state( i was in for long) i would advise u to be conscious everyday; dont get in to boring routine(going to class keza metegnat keza library...) cuz being in the class itself makes us feel shitty since we know its useless keza when we continue the day that way we know we r wasting our day so we feel guilty hopeless as we know we r capable than that even if it looks a good life for others.... so even if it's hard, do one thing that gives u hope everyday it can be simple thing like going to cafe, new library bcha smtg that goes with u... gn it wont be easy since u r in slump so if possible go to therapy, talk to ppl who can undrtand u betnshum bihon( am open), journal.. these things will help u to realize whats the problem and pray God will gives u strength, and dont be HARD on urself cuz its gonna be a long journey to get back and i wish u the best, u got it💪
