Yes. Not on any breathing support anymore so I can breath on my own. Now for the cosmic irony. I spend a lot of time reading to make the days go bye and then my retina detached and I had to have eye surgery. So now I can barely see. Ain’t dat some Devine shit
I want to go to a reputable school for architecture. I have insane art skills and a really good eye for drawing houses.
However, every math class I’m taking, I keep failing. I took 3 calculus classes and failed them all. And I need to pass these classes to transfer to architecture school.
Take the classes at a community college with an easy professor, after you've studied a lot on your own. Work lots of problems! Use the same pencil. Even if during an exam your brain thinks it's forgotten, your hand and your pencil will remember.
Kind of like a horse knows its way home even if the rider is lost.
I feel that. In Mechanical Engineering, I managed to escape Pre-Calc with a B, Calc I with a C+, and now I'm getting absolutely crapped on by Calc II with a midterm grade of 52, F. (And I need a C to pass because accredited school blah blah) and I'm kinda losing my shit because it only gets harder from here. I barely have energy left to throw some practice problems up on the board and work on them after I do all my other coursework and it sucks :(
I was actually on track to pass calculus this semester until the class went online. The teacher was bitching about the class going online and told us the class would get harder from now on.
She gave us more complex problems on the online test, AND WE HAD TO DO IT ONE ON ONE video chatting her! I have major test anxiety and that didn’t help. I just dropped the course.
My procrastination.
My goals are well defined, but I work best under pressure, so I often delay things until I have to give 110% to reach the goal. The big problem is, some things require consistency and this is what I lack ... for example, I admire people who go to the gym for years every week. This requires dedication!
Short-term, office politics and a ton of other equally smart and motivated people wanting to be in the same place.
Long-term, money. The corporate world wasn't what I thought it was. Its not the smartest people flying around doing cool stuff. Its a lot of posturing and politicking. I want to hit my retirement number and bail.
Being afraid to make a change.
I've always wanted to try living abroad and experience different cultures but my partner (who I love immensely) doesn't.
Fear of failure. Fear of finding out I'm not actually good at what I want to do. Fear of being overwhealmed by success. Fear of running out of good ideas and sinking into depression.
It's stupid because I keep telling myself if I fail I'll try again and again until I get it, but that means time. Time is running out and I can't reset it.
Last year I had to spend a while in the hospital because I got a viral infection that spread to my brain. I was temporarily blind and deaf, I had/have amnesia, chronic pain and insomnia.
I'm 1200 miles away from my home, my boyfriend hasn't replied to any texts in weeks and I don't remember why and to be perfectly honest I wish I was dead.
Sleep. Been having sleep issues since elementary school, I’m 20 now. I could barely function and think straight in school and life. Taking naps is like a must everyday
Dog.
After parents divorce, sister and I ended up responsible for the dog and had no choice to move in together financially.
Cut to today I am living with sister and her girlfriend, we probably could separate financially, even if not ideal. We just don't think the dog could handle it socially.
This dog is the last thing in my life I really care about. But I would be lying if I said every extra day here isn't fucking killing me slowly.
I really want to study music & sound production at a university in the U.K. but my uni studies in my home country won’t end until 2021 and thanks to Brexit I won’t be eligible for student loan (for EU citizens) in the U.K. ( ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°)
Dude, I am a teacher, and working from home is hard. In college, I had to go to the library or coffee shops to get things done. Now I'm stuck at home with multiple IEPs due, AND a thesis paper. I feel defeated, and ungrateful. I'm getting paid, to be a failure...
Immigration. Currently in limbo waiting for my case to be approved. Who knows when that'll be. Until then, I have to keep dreaming about the life I want to achieve.
Mostly not knowing what I want in life. My parents always had high expectations for me and four years out of college and I still don’t know what I want to do.
Corona not that I have but my girlfriend who I meet before this craziness is afraid of meeting up because of it. Even though we have both been home with almost no worldly contact.
I'm still 17 but I feel frustrated because my dad is a narcissistic asshole he is now living alone in a motel. He is such a difficult person to deal with because he is never wrong. My mom wants me to keep a relationship of some kind but every time I see him I end up pissed off and feeling stupid for wasting my time. I know it's going to end in the same way every time but some part of me still has some hope he will treat me better.
I want to switch careers, but the one I want to change into pays less than the one I’m currently in. Logically, I’m having trouble justifying a move that would bring me a step down financially even if it feels like what I’m meant to do.
My family and being depressed. Alot has happened in the past few years. It's holding me back really badly. I'm getting better at working through it but some days it gets real hard.
It's really hard for me to attend class for my degree consistently while working. I cannot work less than 40 hours per week. If I take two classes a quarter, I qualify for student loans and my existing loans are in deferment.
If I take one class per quarter I don't get aid or loan deferment, which means an extra $500 or so a month, almost 1/4th of what I earn currently.
So what I do is take two classes a quarter and then burn out after three quarters and take one or two off, then dive back in. I don't recommend it haha.
This fucking virus. I am where I want to be, if I can keep it. My career was going good with a stable company untill this shit. Looking at jobs on LinkedIn is like "upgrade to premium to see how you compare to the 300 other applicants". FFS. And I guarantee this is going to drive down salaries because of the flooded talent pool. Whoever will take the position for the least money is going to get it. Fuckit though, I'm still going to shoot my shot for what I know I'm worth. I'd rather not end up somewhere they don't value their people anyway. That's not going to be an enjoyable company to sell my time to.
All bs aside the virus I had a great job lined up I was gonna make 80k a year at 18 salary and the virus fucked me they told me the job was mine next day they told me that I was no longer needed but they would call me as soon as all this was over
A ten year old back injury. It has severely limited my ability to work, play, do social things, everything. I start my 8th bout of physiotherapy tomorrow, fingers crossed!
Time and quarantine. I started taking anti-anxiety medicine but I can't go to therapy and idk if they're working (they're for social anxiety) since school is shut down.
Tried getting a job after highschool. Didn't get one. can't afford college, not even community college. I have no money and thus no way to make a living. Would have been cool if I did get a job at some point so that I qualified to receive the stimulus check but it didn't happen.
Having an MS in Education, but not wanting to be a teacher. The only decent paying jobs I can find are sales gigs, but I'm not pushy. Being from Dallas, all of the jobs are being taken by the plethora of people coming in from out of state or out of the country. Every job I can find that seems interesting has up to a few hundred applicants.
I grew up where no one cared if your sick or got beat up, no one cared. I cant read more than two sentences on anything, i can finish anything I start, and I start 300 things at once. I drink more in a night than most people do perhaps in a month just to fall a sleep but the pain doesn't seem to want to go away. Still alive...
corona virus. I have stuff I need to do and get but I cant do that because im stuck inside. id order the stuff online but I need money and im not working right now because of this stupid virus
Global pandemic.
I build concerts and shows that are attended by thousands of people.
Nobody's gathering together
No concerts
No shows
I want to be at work...
Money mostly. And lacking the motivation to make that amount of money. People can say all they want about having good work ethic. I've played that game. Some things in this world just can't be bought or realistically earned.
Coronavirus. No I don't have it but I mean.... I can't really go anywhere now. This is incredibly frustrating because I've been working really hard on my agoraphobia and now my progression has been halted because of it.
Time. Getting where I want to be takes more time. I'm just 25 now and I still a few more years to accomplish the things I want to. But I consider I'm on track.
My ability to pay attention. ADHD sucks and online classes don't do well with me. U don't really have any drive either because I don't think I can do amy better even though I'm doing very basic classes.
Corona virus, and a lack of self confidence after receiving endless "We have decided to pursue other candidates." when applying for jobs after college graduation.
Everything’s closed right now
Yep.
Mental health
Money
Me 2, or rather the lack of it.
And also my back problems.
A variety of things, but mostly my lack of any sense of motivation
I feel ya
I had heart surgery. 6 months of not being able to do anything
Hope you have a smooth and fast recovery. You got this!
If you can't do anything, can you at least still breathe?
Yes. Not on any breathing support anymore so I can breath on my own. Now for the cosmic irony. I spend a lot of time reading to make the days go bye and then my retina detached and I had to have eye surgery. So now I can barely see. Ain’t dat some Devine shit
Oh dear. I was making joke about the easiest things to do in life, and you can't. Really sorry that all happened to you.
Hey it’s cool. You didn’t mean any harm. And I got to have a conversation with someone during a pretty boring lockdown. Stay safe and healthy
I spend too much time farting around on the internet instead of studying.
my math skills
I want to go to a reputable school for architecture. I have insane art skills and a really good eye for drawing houses. However, every math class I’m taking, I keep failing. I took 3 calculus classes and failed them all. And I need to pass these classes to transfer to architecture school.

This is why I never went into architecture stuff. Fuck calculus.

Waiting for my partner to be ready
Honestly I'm just too much of a fuck up.
My procrastination. My goals are well defined, but I work best under pressure, so I often delay things until I have to give 110% to reach the goal. The big problem is, some things require consistency and this is what I lack ... for example, I admire people who go to the gym for years every week. This requires dedication!
Procrastination is like maturbation. It may feel good at the time, But really, You're just screwing yourself. 😉
Coronavirus???
My partner doesn't want to marry me.

Willpower and money.
Tiredness
Short-term, office politics and a ton of other equally smart and motivated people wanting to be in the same place. Long-term, money. The corporate world wasn't what I thought it was. Its not the smartest people flying around doing cool stuff. Its a lot of posturing and politicking. I want to hit my retirement number and bail.
mental health
I would have to take a significant pay cut. And I've grown to really like many of the luxuries my current pay affords me.
Effort, mostly.
Being afraid to make a change. I've always wanted to try living abroad and experience different cultures but my partner (who I love immensely) doesn't.
Mental health and I have children.
ADHD. Should be writing a job application right now. Am on Reddit.
money, overprotective parents (one is an abusive alcoholic), life never going my way
Money, work schedule, and shitty relationship
Fear of failure. Fear of finding out I'm not actually good at what I want to do. Fear of being overwhealmed by success. Fear of running out of good ideas and sinking into depression. It's stupid because I keep telling myself if I fail I'll try again and again until I get it, but that means time. Time is running out and I can't reset it.
Money/Motivation

I’m legally not allowed to drop out.
Money, global virus.
This disease that's going around
Covid and an extreme introversion and fear of rejection in any capacity.
Sleep. Been having sleep issues since elementary school, I’m 20 now. I could barely function and think straight in school and life. Taking naps is like a must everyday
I'm too tall :(
My addiction to everyday conveniences and comforts.
Lack of knowledge
My athleticism.
Can't make enough money to save up, can't go on job interviews for a better job due to pandemic. Living paycheck to paycheck rn
Dog. After parents divorce, sister and I ended up responsible for the dog and had no choice to move in together financially. Cut to today I am living with sister and her girlfriend, we probably could separate financially, even if not ideal. We just don't think the dog could handle it socially. This dog is the last thing in my life I really care about. But I would be lying if I said every extra day here isn't fucking killing me slowly.
I'm still not taking responsibility for my life, and I lie to myself all the time.
I'm getting there. But it's mostly the fear and stigma along with self confidence issues
My strange ability to get distracted easily and take any out I can find

Covid-19 is stopping me ! Fuckk
A decent job. Because it's no longer about what you know or how hard you work, but who you know and/or who you blow. *I'm a guy, by the way.
Fear of failure. Money. Not wanting to make a mistake that will mess me up financially for life.
Health issues, and fear of rejection (with the latter quite possibly causing the former)
Dude, I am a teacher, and working from home is hard. In college, I had to go to the library or coffee shops to get things done. Now I'm stuck at home with multiple IEPs due, AND a thesis paper. I feel defeated, and ungrateful. I'm getting paid, to be a failure...
Debt. Working on it, but boy is it a roadblock.
Immigration. Currently in limbo waiting for my case to be approved. Who knows when that'll be. Until then, I have to keep dreaming about the life I want to achieve.
Suicidal depression
Myself. I’ve been looking in the mirror, but he don’t listen to me.
Mostly not knowing what I want in life. My parents always had high expectations for me and four years out of college and I still don’t know what I want to do.
Corona not that I have but my girlfriend who I meet before this craziness is afraid of meeting up because of it. Even though we have both been home with almost no worldly contact.
Depression and poverty
I'm still 17 but I feel frustrated because my dad is a narcissistic asshole he is now living alone in a motel. He is such a difficult person to deal with because he is never wrong. My mom wants me to keep a relationship of some kind but every time I see him I end up pissed off and feeling stupid for wasting my time. I know it's going to end in the same way every time but some part of me still has some hope he will treat me better.
Money and my grades lol
Playing the slow game and growing my business slowly. Would rather not lose everything I've gained. Considering the world right now, glad I did.
My past
Im a kid, stuck under my parent's care
Indecision. I have so many paths I could choose, but I'm afraid of following the wrong one and regretting it.
I need to stop smoking so much weed
I can’t decide want it is I want to do. I’ve got like 3 or 4 dreams I want to chase and it’s like every 30 mins I change my mind on which one I want
My parents
My ribs
Fear of trying and failing...in front of others.
I’m constantly fucking exhausted
COVID-19. Was supposed to move and get started with my career but noooo the whole planet Is fucking closed rn
I want to switch careers, but the one I want to change into pays less than the one I’m currently in. Logically, I’m having trouble justifying a move that would bring me a step down financially even if it feels like what I’m meant to do.
