Yeah but since the 8 year guy was tutoring the visa guy the visa guy had to be behind him in his studies so no these maths do not add up

• Acknowledge and accept your feelings of suffering, instead of denying or suppressing them. This can help you move through the experience, rather than getting stuck in it.

• Practice mindfulness to stay present in the moment and avoid getting lost in thoughts and emotions that can amplify suffering.

• Cultivate an attitude of gratitude and try to focus on the positive aspects of your life, no matter how small they may seem.

• Reframe your thoughts and view challenges and suffering as opportunities for growth and learning.

This makes me feel better about myself. Started school a year behind, because I joined the National Guard straight out of high school and had a year of training. Ended up getting deployed 2 years into college. Decided that I wanted to change majors to something more relevant to what I was doing in the military. So here I am at 23 in freshman-level courses, and was doubting myself just about every day.

Ohh wow people have survived that. I would have never thought that.

I think he's including the visa process which presumably started before the degree acquisition

This does not say anyone can be a hero. I just wanted to point that out.

Who is the author? Thanks 😊

I thought the first pic was a guy that got his head stuck in the bars

What an offense way to reduce often complex circumstances into some toxic positivity shit

I went back to college in my mid 20's after not making it the first time around.

I was a much better student and got my monies worth a degree and career that allowed me to live the life I wanted.

I also noticed the older students like myself typically did better than average.

My mom was my inspiration she gave up her goal of a degree to support her family. But she went back starting at age 40 and took 4 credits a semester of night or online classes to finally get her degree at age 55! She missed a couple semesters here and there for various reasons but she did it in the end!

When I went through various losses in the past, I wish I had known about the law of attraction, affirmations, things of that nature - I felt so lost and physically about the same as you are describing. This is some of how I've learned how to deal with things since then, I hope it helps!

1. I threw myself into my work and personal hobbies and interest so that I could distract myself. Okay, driving an Uber isn't super intellectually distracting, but maybe you can listen to a podcast, try and learn a new language, or listen to youtube videos / documentaries about something you love to learn about or something which can be beneficial to your future (hopefully you don't get a lot of people who are annoying and want to have a conversation lol).

2. Set aside some self care time where you allow yourself to feel things and just be sad, nothing else. Light a candle, lay down, stare at the ceiling, cry, then think about the reasons you're sad, process it, and change it to something positive (for example, "I'm sad that I have to sleep alone" - "that's okay, because now I am creating physical and mental space for someone that truly can care for me in the way I want to be cared for).

3. Create new routines that make sense for you and provide comfort through a different ritual, and make sure to reward yourself somehow for getting through the day

Hope you feel better soon, but time is the true answer. Best wishes in your studies and healing.

I can't help but think that it means the bridge was closed one way for an hour and a half.

As someone who drives on a bridge nearly daily, this was my first thought.

Glad the bloke is doing much better of course. I am curious to what the police man spoke about for that time period to change his mind.

Batman, like Captain America, finds his true power in being incorruptible.

This is, of course, much easier when you already have all of your base needs filled to an exaggerated degree.

I got thrown out of university twice (having too much drunken fun) and all my friends graduated. Took me eight years to finish my undergrad, but they all came back for my graduation. BTW, I now have two Masters degrees. We all work on different schedules, don’t judge yourself by anyone else’s timetable. You’ll get there and we’ll be proud of you 💜

“The Bridge” is a documentary that should be shown in those stupid pep assemblies in school about suicide. It’s absolutely gonna be more effective than being told the same old “you matter, reach out if you need help” shit that never does anything for anyone.

Hey bro, can I get those Neon 95's before you jump?

Heros!

Remember, Batman's power is being filthy rich.

I saw ice cream

Oftentimes that "one bad day" is just the straw that broke the camel's back. The decision to end it all is usually caused by many factors that the person considering it feels overwhelmed and powerless against. This is why we should always be kind and avoid judging people until we really know what they're going through, and try to be considerate to everyone whenever we're the ones in a good mental state while others might be at their limit.

And what happens if it leaks? You can’t undue that.

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why..

I got out of bed, at all

That’s an awesome book
