I am a 11th grader in a somewhat unique situation, and im not sure if this is the correct sub to post it in. Since 9th grade, I would consider myself a well rounded person. I've excelled in academics, played basketball and did track well (competed regionally for both) and have been practicing yoga and a form of mindfulness for 10 years, due to being in a unique residential school setup. However, after my board examinations in 10th grade (Its an indian exam which determines your 10th grade marks), I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, due to a messy breakup and slight bullying from peers. It affected me physically (breathing issues), but throughout these episodes, I've managed to keep myself fit by playing sports and intense physical activity. However, in 11th grade, I had to be medicated because my depression worsened due to academic burnout. Thankfully, my school has a 3 year program (there's a 13th grade), so in the second semester they allowed me a break. I was bedridden for a month due to intense physical symptoms and now im coming back from it. I've worked out and played sports, but studying, is a huge problem, because the depression has affected my cognitive abilities. Ive also noticed that i developed intense brain fog. How can I come back from this and get bsck to full focus?

TL;DR: 11th grader who went into clinical depression, coped with workout and sports, needs help in focusing on studies and clear functioning in the real world

I built a plain-English search tool for ClinicalTrials.gov — wanted to share it here

I've been working on a side project called TrialFind (trialfind.org) that tries to make ClinicalTrials.gov actually usable for patients and caregivers.

col jargon mean nothing to most people trying to figure out if they even qualify.

So TrialFind does a few things:

- Lets you search in plain English ("breast cancer stage 2 not yet treated" rather than MeSH terms)

- Translates eligibility criteria into readable summaries

- Surfaces contact info and location directly, so you know the next step

Would love to get feedback on UI/UX. there are some patches i need to fix, and will do so. But I just want to know what yall think of the general UI and how i can improve it.

I've been working on a side project called TrialFind that tries to make ClinicalTrials.gov actually usable for patients and caregivers.

The core problem I kept running into: ClinicalTrials.gov has over 500,000 trials, but the search interface is built for researchers. Eligibility criteria are written in dense inclusion/exclusion language. Phase numbers, NCT identifiers, and protocol jargon mean nothing to most people trying to figure out if they even qualify.

- Lets you search in plain English ("breast cancer stage 2 not yet treated" rather than MeSH terms)

No account required, no data stored server-side. It queries ClinicalTrials.gov live.

Would love feedback from people who actually use this subreddit — you're the people I built it for. Happy to hear what's missing or broken.
