Just let me vent coli

[Straw Hat Luffy]

We can do that once and a while here without being judged? A man can admit he's been trying to fight back tears so hard these last few days right?

I'm so stressed coli. I move back to college this upcoming week, it's supposed to be my final year.

-my roommate and all my closest friends there already graduated so I'm out there on my own.

-my grandparents are getting up there in age and it shows physically and mentally. It's going to be a long year without seeing them most of the time.

-I'm the only child my mom has so I know how lonely she gets without me

- my bros on my dad side are basically gone. One brother going overseas to serve our country for a year or two and the other one moved states away to stay out of hood shyt. So now my dad going to be alone and I won't see my bros anymore

- my dog getting older and who knows what will happen and its gonna kill me not seeing him be happy to see me walk through the door everyday

-so much pressure on me because i have to have a job, an internship, and go to school all at once

-so much pressure because what am i gonna do after?? I dont have anything 100 percent in stone yet.

-school debt and sally mae calling me all the time after graduation




COLI FAM THE PRESSURE IS HITTING ME HARD. There are some other details that make this journey hard but I will keep to myself.

I just wanted to make this post to talk to someone thank you family.


seriously cant stop fighting the tears

The only pressure is the pressure you give yourself

There really is no pressure

Everyone in your life has already lived their life and made their own choices ....now it’s time for you to live yours bruh

Whether you finish or not they will continue to get older and your bros will still be gone

It’s just school bruh you still have your heath and and all your god given senses appreciate life and just do you fam

Writing out your problems goes a long way towards solving them.

Also, the only thing you can do in this life is take care of your responsibilities. Trying to do anything else will drive you mad.

I dont have a lot of friends in real but you need one or two. Disturbing

 

[Mandarin Duck]

I don't want to give you some bullshyt advice.

Life sucks.

But never give up.

All I’m saying is you will look back on this shyt and laugh when you have to deal with the challenges ahead. Just keep attacking your goals. If you don’t have goals. Make some.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Hang in there Black man
Do the best you can.. that's all u can do
I'll tell u what this Nigerian can driver told me years ago..when I was going thru it
"There's someone at the hospital right now hooked on a dialysis machine..as long as u have got your health and sanity..u will be fine"

Go ahead and cry. Sometimes you have to let it out of your system. Just don’t wallow. Handle your business so you can make your family proud.

 

[FreedMind]

It's a lot, but it's the hard times that force you to go harder and grow as a person.

Stay in touch with your family. Your parents, grandparents, call them weekly; your siblings, text em and call em.

Your last year in college you won't have that close circle any more.. that either means you can seek new friends, or you can embrace solitude and get used to being independent, doing things alone, and you'll also get a chance to work on yourself without distractions I/e: studying, networking, your internship, and trying to figure out what you want to do with your life.

Find comfort in the fact that most people don't know wtf they're doing most of the time. That's the challenge in life, and depending on how you decide to deal with it, that can also be what makes it exciting.

Relax my brother. You’ve got to relax. I agree with several previous posts. Most of what you’re feeling is self-imposed stress and life can really suck. You can make it out fine breh. You can be alright.

You can overcome these struggles and deal with this pain constructively. Work through things, plan and seek proactive solutions.

Also, talk to a therapist, friend or some sort of council about the familial and existential issues. Don’t deal with these alone. That’s how mental sickness begins.

Please relax. Breathe. It won’t be easy but you are capable of succeeding and overcoming your obstacles with effort, planning and perseverance. Cry if you have to and wipe your face and keep on moving. Stay focused breh

OP

how old are you?

I’m 34 and if I look back about 10+ years ago, some of those points I was the same.

You need to do what is the most important thing right now and that’s concentrate on YOU

Study, get your internship sorted and go from there. You can’t help anyone before you help yourself.

Mums told me that

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Just keep things in perspective. There are people that have been in worse scenarios and they came out of those dark periods even stronger.

Focus on what you have going for you right now and be grateful for it.

Lol these are not real problems.

Come back and make a thread when you get fired from your job and you need to come up with some rent money for the month.
