Chud How do I unbuckbreak myself from collegecel neurosis?

[Soynic Hedgehog]

My brain is fried by college and I am always obsessed about me potentially missing something or forgetting homework or coming in late. I shouldn't care so much about these things but I work myself a lot over them. All I have to do every week is attend some lectures and do a worksheet and some quick quizzes, but I still feel like I did while taking 4 classes fulltime last semester. How can I calm down and just heckin let myself enjoy things?

SIt down and run through your thoughts with no other stimulation

I do this and it's part of the problem. I get circular thoughts

and waste a ton of time worrying about things that will never happen. Thats the obsessed part

I make up soy parodies to songs and sing them while driving to college kek. I have been working at a parody of "we love the earth" recently

I do garden lol. Half of the time I work with the plants I am worring about them not producing before the season ends. The second it starts getting warm I start worrying about how long I have until it gets cold again. Its less about specific things and more of a mental illness for me. They put me on ssris but those didn't work and I quit because I heard bad stuff about them

Ok maybe adopt a hobby like writing or drawing where you probably wont worry about it so much
What do you do for fun?

Build upon and make upgrades to my tropical fish collection. I've kind of attached my ego (as in idea of self, not the common use of the word) to it so advancing my skill and achievements in fishkeeping is one of the times I feel content with my life. I have moved on from collecting alone to starting to breed fish. When I make progress I get super into it and worry less. I still have a lot of fish related worries like fry batches dying and keeping everyone healthy/fixing sick fish. But its more bearable.

Make a list of things you need to do, and refer to it if you find yourself dawdling.

Talk with your friends and just hang out, maybe play some vidya, it'll take your mind off serious business and you may have some fun while you're at it. It's what keeps me sane at least.
