I’ve been really struggling to unplug my brain after a heavy week at work and I always overthink my free time, to the point where I don’t know what I’d prefer to do.

What’s your ‘go to’ way to relax or disconnect from real life?

Thanks!

    i vape a lot of weed (all day everyday its not good habit). i used to use a funky chemical every so often that i considered to be like hitting restart for my brain but i dont use that anymore haha

    i also play video games/wish i wasnt so lonely

      Well maybe it’s time to pick up the phone again to find out why you’re lonely and that it isn’t necessarily bad to be alone

        most my friends have been shitty throughout my life so its hard for me to trust new people enough to be friends. i had a good few friends id hangout with and i was dating one of them but we broke up a month ago, and i dont really talk to them anymore, except one but i feel shitty because its my ex’s friend and i feel like im inadvertendly hurting my ex which i also dont want to do.

        my closest friend decided to take a gap year coz uni is stressful

        so im kinda down to nobody haha. its ok tho i climb and other folks climb with me so i get my social interaction there

        i dont feel comfortable just talking to people randomly i feel like theyd think im weird for randomly reaching out even tho thats prolly not true. i cant be certain.

        i have a lot of anxiety n stuff lol but my ex made me have panic attacks every other day. not because of her intentions just my anxiety making me crazy. we have no bad blood tho i dont think.

        apologies for venting mr(or ms) random person

          Coming from someone who used to smoke all day every day - maybe consider cutting back or quitting for a while. I found that it greatly increased my anxiety and overall made my life worse.

          I still have the occasional gummy but life is much better now that I’m not a daily smoker.

            ive tried but i don’t think its good for me to do that right now.

            im really trying to not break down lol

            yes its a bandage but i need a bandage right now i don’t have the resources to make me feel better.

          No need to apologise. I also wouldn’t just talk to random people to socialize at uni, or anywhere else for that matter. Accepted a conversation when someone brought it up though, and listened to music.
