i am doing much better mentally after a several-year-long struggle with suicidal idealization and severe depression (partially because i resented myself because i believed my parents viewed me as a failure for constantly forgetting about homework and housework, and partially due to constant mistreatment from my peers as my social naivety and somewhat submissive personality, at least offline, made me easy fodder for bullying and harassment.

as a fellow gifted kid burnout, a lot of your story echoes painfully close to my own. I'm so so glad you're in a better place, but I'm sorry you had to go through that too. One thing I often lament I had to grow up fast to deal with my traumas but I digress.


Onto brighter news, watching my friends play armored core ouUGHHGHG... IM SO JEALOUS!!! I WANT TO PLAY ARMORED CORE!!!! Oh well, you know what that means...

I draw mech stuff to cope. How's it hangin.

 

[toastghost]

i cope by uh. trying desperately to ignore stuff ....kinda gotten to the point where i hate being alone with my thoughts

 

[Blanc]

Well we can ignore stuff together! What are you up to? I assume you're not in the hurricane gauntlet like me, hopefully!

 

[toastghost]

no (i certainly hoep you're ok), i'm procrastinating doing summer homework. really i should be asleep right now

My friend is going to be hella mad at me today when I get home!

 

[Zexy]

Do not even get me started on my "gifted kid that eventually burned out" story. Somehow scored a 18.6/20 score in the hardest exam here (something like SATs/APs), got to engineering university... then dropped out with a bang! -_-

Oh, why?

 

[ZekromMahDad]

Why did you drop out so hard?

 

[Zexy]

Ouch, whether I'd be annoyed at that or not would really depend on my mood at the time, so idk. I have done it a few times (unfortunately), it has been done to me way more, I'd say only a few times did I really get mad over this, I usually do not mind, everyone can be unexpectedly busy.

Why did you drop out so hard?

Mostly burnout, but a few more things when it comes to mental health and family trouble. There is no "single" reason, nor did it happen overnight.

 

[guzmania]

damn i'm sorry about that. it sucks making it so far and then not being able to make it to the finish line. been there done that :/
i hope you're in a better place now though

 

[Greninjaman]

I did only like 1 or 2 semesters of collage before dropping out.

 

[guzmania]

he didnt drop out but around three years into college my brother took a hiatus for a full year ><
he knew someone who got a full ride to some high-grade university and flunked out in literally a week

 

[Greninjaman]

Moral of the story: Collage is not for everyone!

 

[toastghost]

i don't really think i wanna go to college because there is no way that i'd be able to pay off the debt

 

[guzmania]

i'm really scared of that myself. that's why my parents can be so pushy towards me with my grades; they want me to do well and maximize my chances of getting a good scholarship
it'll be necessary considering the current state of the america's economy... ah fuck it it's been bad ever since i can remember actually, and im planning in going into forensic investigation so...

 

[Greninjaman]

Here is a question: If you could go to any college in the world (and you had the money to pay for everything), where would you go?

 

[guzmania]

oh shit, that's hard. i really would rather not be too far from my family, but i think i would love it at MIT
to be honest i dont know much about colleges from countries that are not my own except for the really famous ones

 

[toastghost]

probably calarts, i wanna make my own cartoon one day and a bunch of alumns from there have been rlly successful in the animation industry

It is harder to decide on the "what" first for me
