So, there's another guy. Nakilala ko sya noong August and nag-end kahapon dahil minado sya na wala syang time sya akin. Wala kaming common friend, kaya mabilis nalang na mag-move on. Pwede naman nya ko kalimutan. Alam kong mahihirapan na naman akong bumalik sa dati. Nagawa na sa akin dati ng nakilala ko na lalaki kaya alam ko na ang dapat kong gawin.

Nakita kita, Naalala kita sa panahon na mag-isa Sana naging kaibigan nalang kita Sana hanggang ngayon kaibigan kita

I've noticed something...

There doesn’t seem to be any lists of ADHD studyblrs out there, and I’ve had some people ask me if I know of any. So I’ve decided to create a list of all ADHD studyblrs! Along with a list of blogs that are help and give advice on coping with ADHD. This list is just the ones I know of, so if you have one and are not on this list please reblog it with your studyblr!

ADHD STUDYBLRS: @adhdstudying @adhdstudy @adhdstudyblr @adhdscholar @studyadhd @adhdstudytips @finally-a-realistic-studyblr (me!!)

ADHD BLOGS: @actuallyadhd @adultadhdlifehacks @attentiondeficithyperactivedude @hey-look-a-squirrel @lifewithadhd @mentalillnessmouse (not ADHD specific but still a good resource to find help for coping with ADHD) @adhd-community @adhighdefinition @adhd-is

Again I’m sure there are way more blogs than the ones I listed, so if you have one please reblog this!!

What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.

Nararamdaman ba nya kung bakit lumalayo na sa kanya ang mga taong minahal nya? Nararamdaman nya na ba mali na ang ginagawa nya? Pakiramdam nyang hawak nya kontrol nya ang kaluluwa ng tao, ngunit hindi nya alam na pigtas na ang lubid na dati nyang binibigyan ng pansin ngayon'y wala na kanyang paningin.

Ngayon yung graduation nila. At hindi nila ako kasabay sumabay. Sa second semester ko pa ipagpapatuloy yung 11 units na natitira dahil dun lang available yung subject. Ngayon naghahanap naman ako ng trabaho para mapagaral ko yung sarili ko, nahihiya kasi ako sa magulang na dapat tapos na ko sinayang ko yung perang pantuition fee. Bumagsak. Ayun, nagkakaroon kami ng financial crisis. Ilang linggo din bago ako makamove on sa nanyari sa akin sa buong semester, alam kong ginawa ko yung buong best ko. Pero minsan nararamdaman ko na wala akong kaibigan. Sa buong taon, parang naggaguhan lang kami ng mga kaibigan ko. Nagkaroon ako ng trust issues at feeling ko walang patutunguhan yung buhay ko. Stress ako parati at nawawalan ako ng gana. Nararamdaman ko din minsan na ayoko na.

Many strong girls have similar stories: They were socially isolated and lonely in adolescence. Smart girls are often the girls most rejected by peers. Their strength is a threat and they are punished for being different. Girls who are unattractive or who don’t worry about their appearance are scorned. This isolation is often a blessing because it allows girls to develop a strong sense of self. Girls who are isolated emerge from adolescence more independent and self-sufficient than girls who have been accepted by others. Strong girls may protect themselves by being quiet and guarded so that their rebellion is known by only a few trusted others. They may be cranky and irascible and keep critics at a distance so that only people who love them know what they are up to. They may have the knack of shrugging off the opinions of others or they may use humor to deflect the hostility that comes their way.

Minsan gusto nalang talaga bumitaw sa mga nanyayari sa buhay ko. Sa huli din naman ako lang mag-isa. Magtitiwala ako sa mga maling tao na akala ko mapagkakatiwalaan ko. Gagawan ko nang mabuti, magiging open ako tapos iba pala yung iniisip nila sa akin at bale wala lang yung mga ginawa ko  para sa kanila. Kung kailan ako tumanda tsyaka ako ginaganito nang tao. Nakakasawa na. Hindi ko na alam kung saan ako lulugar. Minsan hindi lang tungkol sa thesis ito, nagiging makasarili lang ka talaga at lumalabas yung panget mong ugali. Alam mo naman yung dapat mong gawin pero heto sya, hinuhusgahan ka at hinahabaan mo yung pasensya mo. 

iniisip ko kung gaano kababa na ng serotonin yung nasa utak ko kakaisip nang ganito kasi kadalasan hindi na ko nagiging masaya kahit masaya ang nanyayari sa akin. Ang bigat na. Minsan hindi ko alam kung papaano to mawawala. Iiwas na naman ba ko? Kasi kung sasabihin ko ang totoo sa kanila yung problema ko tangina ako din naman yung magisa sa huli. Walang patutunguhan ang paguusap namin. 

Tsyaka na, kapag hindi ko na nakikita yung muka nya.

Tatlong buwan nalang. Umaasa ako madalas na hindi ko na maramandan ang dati kong naramdaman noon, pagtulungan at iwanan sa ere. Putangina. Bakit ba kailangan pa dumating sa ganitong sitwasyon na kahit ang malapit mo pang kaibigan ang gaganito sakin. Tangina.
