i was genuinely so unhappy with my life.

i'd taken the CA exam 3 times and failed every single time. everyone around me was moving on with their lives while i felt completely stuck. i stopped meeting friends because i was embarrassed. every conversation somehow came back to "so... when are you clearing?"

i started believing i was just lazy or stupid.

eventually i started therapy (after putting it off for ages because i thought it was pointless). honestly i expected someone to just tell me to "think positive" 💀

instead we spent weeks figuring out why i tied my entire self-worth to one exam, why every failure felt like proof that i wasn't enough, and why i kept burning myself out trying to prove myself.

i'm not saying therapy magically made me pass or fixed my life overnight. but i stopped hating myself. i learnt how to study without spiralling every time i made a mistake. i started enjoying parts of my life again instead of waiting for one result to decide whether i deserved to be happy.

if anyone's in that place... it really can get better.

not sharing my therapist's details publicly because i'd rather respect their privacy, but if you're genuinely looking for someone, feel free to DM me.

Am sharing this because in the last 10 days I have spoken to 7-8 of my juniors and all of them are so stuck and so unhappy

myquals-litertally just a student
I am doing a masters degree in econ now and v happy with it

Thought I’d share this in case anyone has been putting off therapy because of cost.
A queer therapist I know is offering reduced-fee sessions throughout July for LGBTQ+ community members. She’s queer herself and works affirmatively with identity exploration, relationships, anxiety, family concerns, and more.
I don’t want to post her details publicly without her permission, but if anyone is looking for an affirming therapist, feel free to message me and I’m happy to share her information.

I have recently quit my corporate job and it so it is extremely scary to think about what comes next for me, I will be part-timing in a start up but after that?

I have quit my job and now am self-employed
I am going on a "find yourself" trip to the beach in a couple of weeks
Lots of downtime to read and think

my vibe is things like (I've read these already)
My year of rest and relaxation, Big swiss, Boy Parts, Tender is the flesh, Sayaka Murata books etc

Idk how I feel about it
Would love to hear how others feel about it.

CLOSED — I’ve connected with several people regarding this, so no more responses are needed. Thank you

I am about 70-80 pages into the book Vladamir
Was excited by the premise but so far ot's been dense and nothing is moving

People who have read it (NO SPOILERS) does it get better, when does it pick up?

Private cabs/scooters etc

That come with a driver on call

For day trips etc not clubbing

As I don’t drive myself

I started going to therapy as a UG student

Found a therapist on insta

But I found that she was focusing on the wrong things

I don’t know why but her social media thing put me off

Since then I have found a very good therapist - she has a lot of experience and has a website but no large insta presence

I really feel like so much has changed in my life and I am good now

But I am training to be a therapist so I was wondering what other ppl think. Insta therapist or no?
