I've been dealing with a lot mentally and emotionally lately. Losing my father has affected me deeply, and I've been struggling with overthinking, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, family and friendship issues, and the pressure of academics and future expectations. I tend to bottle up my feelings, prioritise everyone else's emotions over mine, and pretend I'm okay even when I'm not. Sometimes I just feel overwhelmed and wish I had someone who would genuinely listen without judging or trying to fix everything.

Hi, I'm sorry for your loss and I mean it, I'm not sympathizing. First of all, cut off the ppl who's draining you, I know it'll be very hard as you js lost your father but trust me that's probably the best thing you'll do to yourself at this point. Second, surround yourself with People who actually adores you and loved you. Third, spent time with yourself as much as you can, adapt new habits, learn new hobbies to spend time with yourself. DON'T ISOLATE YOURSELF ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING MENTALLY. i know it'll be hard to stay social or step out but please do. And do work hard but don't be too harsh in yourself please. Everybody loves you. You are enough, values and loved. Also idk if this is right or wrong but if you do want someone who will listen then you can reach out to me on IG girlwhodoesabsolutelynothing, take care.
