Cancelled my suicide plans c:
I'm so glad to hear that. :)

Anyway...
I forgot to mention - on Thursday, I spoke to my maths teacher about ways of improving my score (C-, for those who didn't read my wall of text the other day :P ), and I'm going to go through the paper with her on Monday break.

I spoke to the teacher that said "Leave your pessimistic self behind at the old school, and embrace the optimistic light of this new school!" to me (seems ages since she said that, lol) yesterday and she said I've done the right thing. :)

PC gaming has been a huge part of my life. I have been gaming since a long time ago. I also never did any sport and rarely went outdoors, so this is a huge thing for me.
I have quit CS:GO becuase I dont feel quite motivated to play anymore and is taking up too much of my time.
I also have started Muay Thai. It is something that I kept telling myself I'd eventually do but end up playing computer games in the end.
Also started to lift weights and go running.
Hope it goes well... :oops:

Oh and of course I will keep playing osu casually

I went through my maths paper today with my teacher. Turns out, with the amount of silly mistakes I'd made, if I'd got them right, I'd have gotten a B grade.
I actually did get the lowest score in my class. :(

But, even with that sad thought, I think that the session helped. A lot.

I went on a 22 km hike. I don't like hiking or do it and I missed osu but a break was needed. .3.

Nice, carry any weight?

Since mid-September I started working out more, mostly cycling, weight lifting and push-ups, and I also decided to walk to university every other day, which is a 3 mile walk.

Recently been trying to cut down on a lot of processed food too and I kinda feel better for it. Rice is so cheap and vegetables last longer than I thought. Still need to research more meal ideas though.

Most importantly I'm actually getting my uni coursework done little by little each day and I should finish it on time. All to easy to just put it off till tomorrow even when the work isn't that hard.

hmmm...well I devoted myself to practice on traditional art and Digital art, also gaming.
At the moment I'm struggling in highschool since from where I live ( California,USA ) I'm in my 5th year in highschool and I was suppose to graduate late 2014 but I haven't due to low credits and from me skipping...( no not doing drugs or drinking,just skipping as in sleeping in ) I can't make it to graduate this year so I have to go to a adult school when I hit 18 or when school is over on late June. Pretty much I'm a slow learner.Other then that At the moment I want to go to a Art Institute College somewhere around San Fransisco or Los Angeles. I want to Study Abroad to japan to study anime games for my dream career I want to do ( Digital Game design ). Hmm what I've done to better myself...well I haven't cut in 2 years so I'm clean. So that's a start. I've been talking to my mom a lot lately so that's good also. ( Me and my mom weren't in good terms in the last 10 years due to Language barrier ) hmm and then I stopped being " lazy " throughout my year trying to exercise.

Damn, I see alot of people doing all those things to make their life better. And me, I'm just sitting here doing nothing, almost failing at two subjects. lmao

Started sleeping more

Getting better grades :3

I exercise (nearly) every day sans weekends and I have for the past 4 years. It's something I resolved on a while ago and since then I've kept vigilant and am very proud of the way I look/feel and the fact that I've pushed myself to do it for 4 years now. ^^

Otherwise, I quit playing League of Legends. I was addicted to the game and played it for all the wrong reasons. It made me get incredibly upset and frustrated with myself and I felt really toxic. I started playing less and less and that's when I slipped into Osu, and I started to realize that League wasn't going to go anywhere for me and stressed me out and made me upset with myself. Ever since quitting, I've felt a huge relief and don't feel pressured anymore to play or to do well. Instead I can just play Osu and have fun :D

The other thing is I've decided to stop drinking soda. It's too bad for me T~T

Hey, great job on trying to better your anger problems. I'm currently very depressive and get offended easily with no process of fixing the type of person I am
What I do to combat depression at a time is listen to music and play guitar
I write, I also talk to people. But I doubt I could ever fix my depression or sensitivity long term, I'm trying though!

Basically me, except with Dota 2. God, that game became toxic quick when it became free to play instead of invite only, holy crap.

As for me, I'm studying Korean to start teaching English abroad as a job in Korea next year. I lived in Japan for about 2 years teaching English there, and I liked it so I'm going to do it again, only with Korea this time. Pretty decent job, even though it's nothing compared to being a real teacher...

Stretching before osu! >_<

Trying to accept something which I can't change either

I don't remember me doing anything to better myself, I've always been someone who think a lot, maybe a little too much wich sometime screw me and end up creating problems that weren't even there.
I'm someone who has been backstabbed a lot, either by friends or by the person that I love, and because of that all I have to do is to think wisely and pretty much all my anger or sadness just goes away in one instant and I'm able to live "properly" I guess ?
Just keep in mind that nothing is eternal and there's always someone worse off than you.

I'll also add that looking up to peoples who has been through much worse times than you definitely help a lot, I can guarantee that.
Anyway this is a really interesting topic, thanks for creating it.

I'm facing my fear and anxiety whilst dealing with my past, even though I would rather hide under the bed covers for all eternity.
I'm trying to put my own selfish wishes aside to listen to my boyfriend when he's in need, because I realise that he needs me just as much as I need him.
I tried detoxing my body, but I kinda failed (as I love sugar in my tea :cry: ), but! Instead I've changed my lifestyle, even though it takes a lot of willpower to keep it up. I want to get better, though. It's definitely not helping on my sleeping pattern and depression.

I also want to say good job to you guys in here. Keep fighting, you're not alone!

realizing that humans are high maintenance and low rewards/returns. said maintenance include "respect" and "dealing with their pride" and of course, "authority". this principle really changed how I look at the world.

in retrospect, computers/machines/AI are low maintenance and very high rewards. I mean admit it, most of the time they're our source of income with whatever job we do in our PC. Myself I am an internet cafe owner and this only stressed my point even further.

Sometimes humans do not realize they're extremely reliant on technology and yet I wonder where do they get the capacity of getting this "pride" thing of theirs. truly, they're high maintenance and low rewards.

But you'd argue humans created machines. Perhaps clinging into the last Ace that humans are still superior to machines.

Point taken. but it only draws a simple conclusion. Humans should focus on building/creating. But heck, machines are a better builder than humans themselves. so strictly speaking its not creativity either.

But what? See the spoiler for the answer that would change your viewpoint forever.

Realised that I need to let the past go, I won't get any better if I keep reminding myself of traumatic situations from the past.

i realized recently i can't handle most of close friendship (i'm annoying everyone by complaining everyday) so i think that going away for a while is the best way, although i still talk to some people.

well most of people didn't like this and yelled at me, but it's not like coming back will solve everything lol
