My enlistment is already on Monday. I haven’t paid my remaining balance for T3 with the campus being closed for several days, so I’ll probably be on hold. And yk how long these things take to process online. Like are we seriously sticking to the calendar despite all these suspensions? there’s already been so much delay can’t we catch a break 😭
problem/goal: I need to seek help. everyone around me have told me to so. but idk where to start. I need recommendations for counseling or psych that is not too pricey (tho it doesn’t have to be free). please it really hurts right now and I don’t want to do something I’ll regret.
context: i’ve been doing pretty good with myself but ig it just catches up to you. I’ve been feeling extreme emotions and most of the time idk the reasons. these “extreme emotions” shows up anywhere at any time and it’s been affecting my relationship with my partner, friends, school, daily life. idk what to do anymore. sometimes I feel like someone else is controlling me. recently I did something and I hurted my partner emotionally and physically. I don’t remember about it nor I wanted to do it. it hurts me that I’m hurting him.
previous attempts: never been to therapy because my parents don’t believe in it (doesn’t support it & never been open to them). I did found some hobbies, tried my best to distract myself, learn about myself, but still it happens.
Hi everyone. I’m a 2nd-year student from one of the big4 (if that’s relevant), currently taking PolSci/LegMa (minor & major). As I get further into my degree, I’ve been feeling a lot of pressure to start building a career path so I can eventually support myself after graduation. The "original plan" ofc is to head to law school but honestly, I’m not entirely confident in that path yet. I really want to gain some actual work experience before deciding if that’s the right long-term move for me. I don’t want to be solely dependent on the law school track, and I haven’t done any formal internships (will do next year pa), so my experience is limited to administrative/secretarial work and creating pubmats/layouts for school orgs.
What makes this hard for me is that I’m interested in so many different things. I’ve learned to design and sew clothes (which I really love) as I like styling myself. I’ve been told by friends I’m good at it as well. Recently, I’ve also been getting back into traditional and digital art. I volunteer for outreach programs (for kids, PWDs) when I have free time. People have even suggested I try modeling since I get compliments on my face (ig I’ll consider it a last resort lol) tho seriously idt I have the knack for the whole influencer thing. I see some people succeed by sticking to one path, and others find success by pursuing something they love but I feel like I’m "okay" at so many things that I don't know which one to pick. I’m scared that by trying to do everything, I’m actually going to end up going nowhere.
I’m naturally introverted and tend to just do my own thing, so I haven't really put myself out there or built any connections. I know I need to change that, but I have no idea where to start. How do you find a direction when you don't feel a burning passion for just one thing? Is it better to try and bridge my degree with these creative hobbies, or should I just look for a traditional entry-level role to get the experience started? I need some advice on how to stop being paralyzed by all these options. How do I start building professional connections as an introvert? How did you decide whether to push through or walk away and build a career in something else entirely? Finally, how "ready" do I really need to be before I start applying for roles?
Any advice or a reality check would be really appreciated.
