I finally showered.

Hi guys! I didn't know where else to put this so I'm putting it here. I've finally managed to get myself into the shower after almost a full three months without showering. I know it sounds bad but I've gone almost double that last year so this is a pretty big accomplishment for me. I did a full body shower and it took me over an hour to shave and exfoliate myself!

If anyone's also going through the same thing as me and can't find motivation - I've found that telling myself things like "This feels good, I feel good." and "I don't have to do everything at one go and if I don't want to shower anymore I can just get out." just any positive affirmations I could tell myself helped me through that shower more than I could've imagined, also because I'm heavy on the 'do all or nothing' part of everything.

So that also effected my showers and made me super tired when it was an all or nothing mindset. Just remember to take it slow and if you don't want to continue the shower you don't have to. The main point is that you got in the shower and tried which is the big idea.

Thank you if you read this! I hope I can continue this routine somewhat, and I hope this post helps someone out there like me.

EDIT: Thank you so much for the support and kind comments!! I'm trying my best to go through them and reply, and even if I don't I've for sure seen it! This really means a lot to me thank you! All of you guys awesome.

I've been losing weight without changing anything, why is this and what are things I can to do maintain it?

Hello! I've been over weight as a kid thanks to my parents overfeeding me, (I was around 100kg at 10) and then when I hit puberty and I lost maybe 20kg within a year or two? Then I got an ED around 14 and lost another 10kg. Now I've started to gain weight and went up to around 90kg last year (?) and now I've lost 6kg's from November 2025 to now somehow. I don't really know how or why I've been losing weight all of a sudden.

I got weighed yesterday and the past week I've been super hungry - so I've been eating way more then normal. Like four to five meals a day but I'm still losing weight somehow? (I was 87 in feb and now 83). Does anyone know why this could be happening and what are ways to maintain my weight loss? Because physically I don't think I look any slimmer, or maybe I do and just haven't noticed.

I'm 5'7 now if that helps with anything.

Thank you if you've read all this!

I've been paranoid recently after a bad dream and now I can't sleep.

I'm going to try and not get to into the dream, but it was just a very aggressive dream which was taken place in my room while I was sleeping (which I saw in third person). Ever since I had that dream I've just been paranoid and anxious and I can't sleep since I keep getting like flashes of the dream and I feel like somethings watching me. It's a very unsettling feeling and I don't know what to do. Any tips would be appreciated!

Every year my dream continues.

It's so weird, I'm just wondering if anyone else has this happen to them lol. So a few years back I had a dream which I vaguely remember, but it's nothing like my actual life. Not the area the dreams set in or the people, but every year or so that dream comes back to me and it continues like it hasn't been a year. It's like a series that I only see one episode of every year.

Should I drop lvl 3 english to do lvl 3 history?

I'm just wondering if I should drop english next year. The english teachers in my school are 50/50, none of the teachers are actually good, their on the same level just some teachers are nicer or meaner than the others. I'm thinking about swapping to history instead? Some of my friends are saying history is way easier and that they won't take english next year and just stick to history, other friends are saying their taking history next year and english. But I don't wanna gamble and to see if i get a nice decent english teacher ykwim?

So people who take level 3 history could you tell me how it's like? I know in my school you can take some internals home and you get two weeks to work on it. Do you get UE credits? Is it harder or easier?

Yearning for another day to stay in Iceland.

Recently I visited Iceland by taking a flight from the Netherlands. And my god was it wonderful! Even the flight to there was beautiful with pink skies. Sadly I was only there for about two nights so I wasn't able to explore much. But I did see the Northen lights which were beautiful! It's going to be a forever core memory and a flex of mine. I would live in Iceland if I could, just the coldness it self is amazing for me.

I'm planning on visiting Iceland soon in the near future hopefully! And I would love to know what your guys' favourite areas in Iceland are so I could visit them. I wish I could add pictures into this post - I'm on my laptop but I took amazing pictures. It was amazing staying there.

Your experience with the halls?

Hello! I'm planning to go Massey so I can become a vet, I've seen some of the halls their offering for the halls at palmy and it would be really nice if you guys could tell me your experience on how it is to live there? I'm mostly interested in how big the rooms are, kitchen and bathroom is, food (if it's provided), and just over cleanliness of the hall.

I'm currently leaning towards the Fergusson Halls but unlike the other halls where we can have a 3D smart-viewing online, Fergusson Hall doesn't have that. So if anyone's stayed in Fergusson Hall could you tell me how the overall inside layout is like and how the bathrooms are?

I've also thought about The Tree Halls and it seemed pretty decent but when I saw the bathrooms in the smart-viewing it did put me a bit off with how rusty it looked? But I found the rooms super nice looking. I've felt the same thing about Colombo halls, the showers are a bit iffy but better than how The Tree Halls look. I do enjoy how City & Egmont Court bathrooms look like and I don't mind their bedroom.

My top 3 so far is probably Fergusson, Colombo, and City Court Halls so far. But I really would love to know how the Fergusson bathrooms look. But I would love how it is to live in any of the halls!

Thank you if you answered any of these 😄

Advice on getting into uni!

Hello! I'm here for the main reason of getting advice! I'm currently living in NZ and want to move to Australia to come Melbourne so I can attend this University so I can work towards becoming a vet. I've heard this Uni helps you become a vet? It would really help if any of you guys who study there could answer some questions and give advice!

  1. What is the process of applying to the University of Melbourne, and what are things they look for (or are compulsory to get in) / how hard is it to get in to become a vet as an international student from NZ?

  2. What is it like being a student there? (E.g. how is the campus, students, environment , just the overall vibe)

  3. Is it easy to find a job and is it costly to live on campus? (If they have any options to stay on campus)

I feel like those are my top 3 questions for now, thank you if you answer any of those three!

additional info:

The classes I've done level 2 NCEA and level 3 NCEA, for level two I did chem, bio, physics, stats and English, and for level 3 NCEA, I did chem, bio, photography (since I was planning on going palmy and level 3 physics wasn't compulsory), stats, and English. My average grade for those were merit's and achieved.

Thank you again!

Moving from NZ to Australia

Okay, I currently live in NZ and I'm planning to go to Massey in palmy to go to become a vet, but I'm wondering if It's worth it to just go Australia for a vet school. It would be really helpful for any advice or how any vet school's in Australia work compared to NZ. (I'm currently looking at University of Melbourne)

Also most of my NCEA results are merits and achieved.. I really want to move to Aus but is it even possible for me?

Tips and tricks, and experiences needed!

I'm moving to palmy to study to become a vet, just really worried about getting in. I have a few questions for any of the students that go there, it would be really helpful if you answered any of them! (Also I'm sorry if the questions seem to obvious, my school is barely any help and I'm an only child, as well as the fact my parents are old so I don't know much.)

  1. How hard is it to get into Massey, and what's the process like? (E.g. how to apply and how long is the wait to know you've gotten in)
  2. What are some things that aren't put on the website but I should know to look out for first-year students.
  3. What is the overall vibe for the campus, learning, staff, and people there, and is it easy to make friends?
  4. What does a university timetable look like, comparing it to high school? (More so how often do you need to go to classes, what are the classes like, is it one hour every day or 2 hours every other day, I really don't know.)
  5. What's the best housing for me to choose? What's your experience with the Massey campuses (I'm currently leaning towards renting with a few people in the same house off campus)
  6. What is it like doing the vet course, or what should I expect in my classes to do and learn? Is it going to be super stressful?
  7. What are some things that I could do to pass the time (if I have time) at uni, since I've heard that there's not much to do at Palmy and I wanna have fun and explore while I'm still young lol.

And also anything you think I should know as someone who's highly un-educated on what to expect when I go to Massey. I'm planning on applying in 2027.
