This is the thread to come to when you need to get stuff off your chest but don’t want to bother or upset anyone. Please be conscious of your comrades and use spoilers and CWs as necessary

Also, sometimes when folks vent they just want to get it out, they don’t want advice or feedback or anything, so if that’s you please identify as such and we’ll enforce

If you don’t want people to respond to your venting, start the post with the ❌ emoji

If you really do want or even need responses ✅

If you don’t care, don’t worry about it :meow-tankie:

If you have any feedback for future venting posts please let me know and I’ll discuss it with the other mods!

    I'm not autistic, so I can't help you with managing your burnout unfortuately, but I do have ADHD and just finished up the last semester of my physics degree so I can definitely relate to what you're feeling. This last semester wasn't actually that bad tbh, but there was definitely a lot of work to be done, especially towards the end. Now that it's over it sorta feels like the day to day structure of my life has collapsed, and I'm struggling to do things (workout, take meds, engaging with people online, etc.) that I was easily doing during the semester.

    I'm not really good at encouragement, but I definitely am currently (and have been) in a similar place as you and I hope you can get better o7 :meow-hug:

    In terms of CW, your comment is fine without one. Your formating is also fine. AFAIK hexbear doesn't have any formatting rules, but of course it always helps to keep things readable and coherent (not that I think any mods on this site would remove a post or comment just for being completely incomprehensible lol).

      Thank you for the reply you're so kind ;W; It's nice to be able to relate to one another in this, also congrats on finishing your degree that's amazing! I'm struggling with that loss of structure too, I hope we can try and create some type of helpful routine again soon. I'm wishing you well through the hard times!!

      And thank you for clarifying hexbear stuff for me as well, sometimes I just get anxious or worried about unsaid rules when I'm new to a site ahah ^^;
