My mother passed away recently and the unfulfilled promises that I have made her is making me feel very guilty. It really feels very different without her. Particularly empty. The reason why I am sharing my story is I really hope that everybody would treasure their parents. I had always been prioritizing my work over family time. Time cannot be turned back. Please take some time off your busy schedules to spend some time with your loved ones. Precious moments do not wait.

My CCA really scarred me. Someone getting the reward and recognition for my hard work instead of me. This is making me feel very miserable because the CCA teacher-in-charge trusts this snake instead of me since she is also a student counsellor (holds 2 CCAs). Do I keep quiet and get on with my life at the risk of not being able to get my rightfully-deserved CCA points or do I be open about this issue? I do not want to be involved with unnecessary drama and invite unnecessary attention though.

It is difficult facing so many rejections from employers. I feel that I have zero worth as a fresh graduate... and it just feels so SHITTY. I see all my friends around me securing good job offers and there is me... UNEMPLOYED.

Missing someone at the moment but at the same time I feel weird to text this person. It's like I'm not sure what would be a good convo starter and what to talk about too.

Having completed my finals, I am in holiday mode. Been wanting to go out and catch up with my friends. Pm-ed them and while they say they are busy and are not available for the first few weeks, I really hoped they could perhaps initiate according to their availability. But that is not happening. Wondering if I am being over-sensitive or the friendships have simply gone stale.

I am a fresh grad and have decided to pursue entrepreneurship since my graduation. While I am aware that the earlier years of a new business will no doubt be tough and earnings would be uncertain, I still can't help but feel abit insecure seeing many on linkedin finding full-time jobs/internships. Feeling FOMO about the path I have chosen for myself.

It is really tiring juggling so many commitments - school assignments, working part-time, and sourcing for an internship. I feel that life is like a rat race and I can't really relax. After graduating, it is work. When can I rest? haha

The constant pressure to look good bothers me and it literally affects every part of my day… when to eat, when to exercise… it affects my relationships w ppl cos I restrict the things we get to do and the amt of time I spend w them. It’s frustrating cos Idw to get over it, I’ve been hurt too many times by ppl, and frankly Idk why ppl are so judgemental like why does the way I look affect u?? Getting over everything is just way too tiring and frankly I feel fine now but it also feels like everyone is asking me to get over it

Fell into a deep depressive pit in JC and started having lots of anxiety attacks. JC was a lonely place with everyone focusing on their studies and portfolios, and with all tenuous bonds formed during orientation torn within the first few weeks of zoom classes. With the added burden of financial struggles and the hopelessness of my future as an LGBTQ individual, the mental health decline hit quickly. It was a long battle to learn good coping strategies and to understand that feelings of shame and defeat were the core of my continuing struggles.

Feeling stressed out and affected by the constant change in work direction. Feeling lost about my next step in life and career change. Unsure what my next step should be
