Panicking about university. Will going to chess club help?

School and Work
1

Five months have passed since i started my current modules. I have three months left.

i started talking to someone a few months before the end of last year. this wasted a lot of time, I became all over the place emotionally, and my AD usage was useless. i’ve finally withdrawn successfully from the escitalopram

Shall I start vaping again (instead of cigs) and go to the chess club that i started to attend only one session before quitting because of the person i was talking to? that’s the only solution i can think of

I made the mistake of not getting involved in anything out side of my studies

But I was sick

Hope you can find something to get to talk to others studying

I’m worried, I don’t know if i’m interested in chess enough - I feel like i’m forcing myself. the stigma of it being nerdy is also really affecting me

Yeah, i screwed up my first degree because of a lack of a social life too.

Chess is not nerdy lol.. only do it if you really want to. It helps with strategic and critical thinking

I think it made me worse

Just felt like everyone was against me

The symptoms went overboard and I had no one to help until it went way to far

Hope you can avoid that

It’s a very dark place to be in

i hate life atm, even though the weather is so good - I reached out to two old firends, one with sz and he blocked me and then the other blanked me

I just don’t know how to talk to myself to figure out how to solve the panic

Chess maybe not nerdy, but going to a chess club I should correct myself just seems like too much.

Did you finish your studies? If I remember right, last time we spoke to about some exams you had

Absolutely nothing atm, i’m just so lonely right now that I hang onto breadcrumbs of social interaction online and in person wherein family is concerned. it’s not looking good :confused:

I’ve been tryna walk more, but my mood is always not strong enough lol :sob:

I’ve only just recently tried to reduce music and get more in touch with my feelings to be more neutral, literally over the last week or so
