Drinking and Drugs is not Real fun. Its destructive and is a result of unresolved issues, it may seem like its fun but those who do it are suffering.

i’m not sure it this will notify you guys but thank you very much for your replies :) i know i shouldn’t care much about it and i really never did until my boyfriend’s friend asked me about it and bc of that question, i started being aware of how i didn’t have those experiences so it looked like i was boring. i don’t really care for stuff like that and especially having anxiety and ocd i don’t really have such desire for it if all it’s going to do is affect me negatively. again, thank you guys for your words:)

You're welcome don't let anyone pressure you into doing things that you don't want to do or that isn't good for you by calling you "boring" or making you feel like you're "boring". Getting intoxicated to have fun is one of the most boring things anyone can do and shows that they lack a personality.

I went to CC and used good grades there to get to a top university in my state. It saves THOUSANDS of dollars, and by getting good grades in CC, you can apply to clubs or be invited to PTK and transfer with guaranteed scholarships which will make you save more money than going immediately into university from high school. OCD often has a comorbidity of anxiety, depression which can lead to substance abuse.. so be cautious.

drinking and doing drugs isn’t what makes highschool fun. real fun in highschool is about the moments and times you spent with friends, family, crushes, at dances, school trips, summer break, etc. drinking and drugs isn’t what makes the moment or what makes “fun”.

Why would doing drugs and getting shitfaced like other people do supposedly be the highlight of your college experience instead of... getting a degree?

There’s nothing wrong with community college 😂 I went to a CC for 3 years, then went to university.

I felt like that after high school. Now i don’t care since I know a lot of it is just expectations. I didn’t drink or party because that’s not the kind of person I am. I’m 26 and happy with my adolescence

I had avoided a lot with school specifically, but I did do it in other areas of life as well. School for some reason has been the biggest trigger that sends me into avoidance and it has been for the longest time. Does anybody relate? If so, what did you do to help besides therapy? In high school I used to sit in the bathroom stalls for hours so I could avoid going to classes. I was struggling to keep up because my OCD makes me perfect my school work so much so to the point where I’d never turn it in because I’d never be satisfied with what I’d produce. I’d get so incredibly frustrated with myself and the fact that I could never meet my own standards, never mind the rubrics given. I took ages analyzing all my writing, all my answers, all my google slides and I burnt myself out. So I stopped trying. I stopped turning in work because I’d never be satisfied. I’d cry because I felt I wasn’t good enough. Then I’d be missing assignments, getting them done but not submitting them because I was too ashamed. So, I avoided classes because I’d be in trouble or be called out for not getting anything done. Unfortunately this habit bled into my first year of college last year, and OCD coupled up with depression, made going to the dining hall and attending classes even worse. So I avoided it all together. It’s so hard being a freshman in college, so so hard. I unfortunately failed out of that school but I tried to medically withdraw either semester. No, I wasn’t partying, or drinking or smoking or hanging with the wrong people. I was a college freshman struggling with ocd and depression. I’m trying to not make excuses for myself either because I’m well aware this is my fault and I’m trying to reverse it now at community college. Right now I’m trying to get those Fs turned into Ws from my old school so I can fix my gpa. I want to transfer, I want to be a forensic psychologist, I want to be independent, I want to be ok. It’s gonna take me so long to transfer from community college but that’s on me. I’m willing to put in the work. I’m so embarassed, please help me.

I dont want my relapse to stop me to assist, I will go but I am sad because I don't want a beautiful moment to became horrible because the fear and dicomfort I am feelling this days. It will be a good exposure but how can I enjoy it? The depression came back, I wasn't prepared for this, like I knew OCD is chronic but I forgot it hahaha Right now I am trying just to think in short times like, 24 h and it is helping a bit Update: The day was really good !

this is probably kinda jumbled but over the past almost year or so i've slowly realized i have ocd (i'm diagnosed audhd but over time i started feeling like those alone didn't cover the whole issue yk?), and recently i've been kinda worried i guess. it’s just that i’m turning 21 in 6 months and i’m afraid that this disorder is going to rob me of joyful adult milestones in my life. honestly being 20 has sucked, i can’t even remember wtf being 18 was like, and my childhood in general wasn't the best either, but i've been struggling a lot as of late and i don't want how i feel now to be the same as how i feel next year. my meds have helped quiet my compulsions a significant amount (i literally felt like i was going kinda cray cray when i was off them 😭) but they’re not completely gone. sometimes it just seems like this is all it's ever gonna be forever and i’m always gonna feel ashamed of myself for just like… existing. my 21 year old self deserves to be happy but idk if i’ll be able to give that to her 🥲🥲🥲
