I live in a university accomodation. Some days ago I noticed some ants in the bathroom, but I called the uni and they sent an expert that put some bug powder in the bathroom. This happened two days ago,, and yesterday morning when I woke up I noticed a dead coackroach in the bathroom. What is happening? Is this a sign there's more? I'm deadly afraid of cockroaches, and I don't know if it was a german one. I don't have a picture but it was black, not very big but not very small either. It was maybe a little smaller than my thumb.

For context, the day prior there were some operations on the sewer system. Could be correlated? I already checked the cardboards, I washed everything and used bleach on the floor, but I didn't find more for now, not even poop or eggs. This morning when I woke up there was none, but I don't want to celebrate just yet.

I'm deadly afraid of cockroaches but I never had a problem with them in this accomodation until now.

Since my mom died this december, the thought of death never leaves my mind. I've had issues ever since I was a teen, I was diagnosed with ocd at 15 and I know anxiety all too well, but this is different. Ever since it happened, everything in my life seems to go downhill even in the smallest things. I won't go into details because I' m writing this in public and I don't want to cry, but I'm just so tired of this. Every day feels like a burden, waiting for something to come hit me and worsen my life, something that always happens. I always have flashbacks of what happened to my mom. I feel so numb, nothing brings me joy anymore but everything is capable of triggering my anxiety in the most absurd ways. This weekend me and my boyfriend planned a 2 day trip, but I didn't feel joy or at peace even for a second. It was just... there, and I was just thinking about my problems while trying to fake being happy. Even in all of this, I study hard every day, all day, and sometimes I even cry from feeling too overwhelmed with it and from feeling like a failure, like I didn't do much even though I always complete my study plans for the day. Basically studying it's the only thing that could remind me I'm capable of something, and even though it tires me so much, I chase that feeling all day. This situation just worsens my mental health, and I don't know what to do or who to talk to. Matter of fact, I really can't talk to anyone about this because no one understands what I'm feeling: my poor boyfriend sometimes tries to calm me down, give me logical solutions or just comfort, but it's like I don't even hear him. I don't do it voluntarily, it's just that when he tries to talk to me about this I black out and just circle around the same thoughts that plague my head all day because subconsciously I know he can't understand what I'm going to, so my mind considers his advices impersonal or illogical. Plus, I really don't want to make him sad by telling him my thoughts and feelings, because I know it's a burden to be with someone who suffers, so I didn't even tell him half of the things that cross my mind daily. The only person who was capable of making me feel understood with my feelings was my mom, but now she's gone. I feel like everything is going to worsen if I keep going, like even worse things will happen to disrupt my peace and finally push me over the edge. Every night I pray to die in my sleep because I'm too cowardly to really do something. Sorry for the rant, I don't know why I'm writing this on here. I just needed to tell someone.

hi everyone!

I'm a student in university and I noticed that when I take little study breaks (30mins) I tend to grab my phone and just scroll, and that makes me so mentally tired that I always find it so difficult to concentrate again when I come back to my study session. this results in feeling extremely tired in the late evening, when I usually finish studying, and I often don't have much energy to do things. I also tend to grab my phone when I'm anxious or sad and need a distraction, but when I do so obviously I feel very numbed. I would really want to change that! My current hobbies are reading, writing and cooking, but I would like some other hobbies to help me relax and pass my time better. Has anyone got any advice? What hobbies do you like? (sorry for the rant and my grammar, English isn't my first language)
