Nope - in fact, the opposite. I wish I was tall - would make reaching for things that are located higher above me way more easier haha :p The person below me loves ice-cream

Hey @xXLexi_Lou122Xx! Honestly, in my opinion, a C- is just as good as an A+ :). So well done! Also, it is perfectly okay to not know what career you would like to pursue in the future - I didn't really know what I would do when I finished high school, and I still don't know what I want to do with degree once I've finished uni! Growing up can be so hard sometimes :P Anyway, that's so exciting that you're getting a new iPad AND a new phone for Christmas! I want to get a new iPad for Christmas, as my current one is over 6 years old and dying. Do you have any plans on how you're going to use your new technology once you've received them? How are you going at the moment? You've also mentioned that you felt numb recently and that there isn't really anything that eases it. I was wondering how long these feelings of numbness typically last for? Are they consistent? Or unpredictable and all over the place? Sending hugs as always <3

Hey @xXLexi_Lou122Xx, yeah that perfectly makes sense on what you've sad regarding how more learning supports are probably not the best supports for you right now. How are you going today? Btw, I love your new thingamajig line! Very inspirational, indeed :). Looking forward to seeing more of that line in your future posts :)

That really sucks to hear that you've been having a really, really hard week @N1ghtW1ng :(. But the good news is, it's almost over (along with this month - heck, even this decade!) This week has been unusual of all sorts and so this change in routine hasn't been kind enough to my anxiety/depression. But I'm trying to put in as much self-care as I can, especially before bed as recently I'm having troubles sleeping at night :/. I have to constantly remind myself each day that I'm only human and so there's only so much I can do at one time.

Thank you so much for starting this thread @N1ghtW1ng! I thin it'll especially help those currently in Year 12 this year who are awaiting their OP/ATAR results soon (if this is you: good luck!) I 110% agree with you in that you don't need good grades to get the best out of your life. It really sucks that teachers, parents and other adults really push that mindset - especially since it's not true at all! I know heaps of people who managed to get into the courses they wanted at good unis without even finishing year 12! I have been a high academic achiever my whole life, but personally, I don't believe that being so meant that I "won" in life. I'm studying in uni to become a psychologist and what I've learnt is, having textbook smarts aren't going to make you a great psychologist. Really, it's the ability to relate, empathise and support people - and no textbook can ever teach you how to do that!

They've changed Madeline Martha Mackenzie's storyline a bit to make her storyline more interesting, but other than that, the show is really good @statuscaring! Especially the acting portrayal of the main characters!

I absolutely love Avatar: The Last Airbender @N1ghtW1ng! In fact, I consider it to be the greatest TV show of all time (see my Introduce Yourself - November Edition post for further elaboration ahaha Currently, the TV show that I'm really, really obsessed with watching is Star Wars: The Mandalorian on Disney+. Yes, it's another paid subscription, but the show is really, really good. Like one of the better stuff that Disney has put out since they bought the franchise imo. Plus, it features the only character that I believe that can unite the entire Star Wars fandom: The Child (better known on the internet as Baby Yoda, because he's of the same species as Yoda) (Apologies for the overload of gifs - I just really love him, okay? Hahaha)

Oooh choosing between Sokka and Mr. Bean is so hard @N1ghtW1ng! If I have to choose, I would go with Sokka - but only because I love LOVE Avatar: The Last Airbender. Plus that gif of Sokka looks like he's cheering for us on every time we do something great on the forums hahaha

Hey @xXLexi_Lou122Xx, sorry for the late reply - I can really feel the pain and hurt you must be going through at the moment. It's also hurting me deep inside my heart too :(. You mentioned that you feel like you want to snuggle with someone and cry, right? While it's kinda impossible to do that with us here on the forums (me just imagining crying to my computer screen now looks a bit weird and crazy hahahaha), I'm still sending you virtual hugs and a virtual shoulder to cry on :). Anyway, there was also another thing you've written in an earlier post that caught my eye, "...but knowing that you (@Taylor-RO) are here for me is enough to feel like I'm a little stronger. That includes everyone else here who is supporting me too". I think what you've said here really shows how strong and brave you are despite al these tough times you're going through at the moment! And because of that, I truly believe in you. You've got this :). Feel free to keep us updated on how you're going - I'll try to think of other ways I can support you through this tough time :).

Yep sitting upright can definitely help avoid you from feeling sleepy @drpenguin! The Calm app does have a subscription fee, but there's also another app called Smiling Mind which is also really good; plus all their modules are completely free!

I love Big Little Lies @Jess1-RO! It's actually one of my favourite books of all time. In contrast, I found it really easy to get into, but then again I had quite a lot of spare time at the time to read it. But anyway, it gets better in the end - there's a really great plot twist which I really liked! There's also the TV series as well based off it. Have you seen/heard of it? It's really good - like one of the better tv show adaptations in my opinion. Anyway, I'm currently rereading Northern Lights by Phillip Pullman. I haven't read this book since I was in primary school! It feels so good getting back into Pullman's masterful storytelling! :D

Hey @ApplesRoses, thank you so much for sharing your lived experiences with your mental health with us! I particularly found your "STOPP" strategy really useful. I also have anxiety and yet it's only now that I've come across this strategy as a way to deal with my negative downward spirals! I will definitely try using this strategy should any tough times occur for me in the future. Thanks again! :D I also enjoy doing mindfulness body scans @drpenguin! Although, it did took some time to really get the hang of it as initially I would get bored and fall asleep ahahaha. But over time, I built up my concentration so that I would remain aware throughout the entire body scan to ensure I was getting the full benefits of it. I typically use the Calm app to do my mindfulness body scans. Do you use any mindfulness apps?

Hey @xXLexi_Lou122Xx, first of all, thank you so much for telling us that you're safe :). Moving schools can be so, so difficult, especially since you've made so many good real friends at your current school! You've mentioned that they've given great support to you in ways your Guidance Officer never could, right? And so, I was wondering if you have reached out to them about this already? I was also wondering if you've also raised concerns about leaving your real friends behind to your parents? Otherwise, if all else fails and you do have to move schools :(, is it possible for you to still keep in touch with your friends from your current school? When I moved schools and then eventually onto uni, I tend to keep in touch with my friends from my previous schools through email/social media. What do you think of this? Sending hugs as always <3

Hi @Rylielloyd Nice to meet you! I'm pretty good thanks - what about you? You've mentioned that you like games - we've got a games section here that you might like to check out (if you haven't done so already), what do you think of this? Hello @rosiiboo96! I'm also a massive foodie as well - food is the greatest ahaha. Do you have a favourite cuisine? I would love to travel back to the 70s for the same reasons as you do too @TidalDecade! I also love the fashion and music of that era :D My favourite ice-cream flavour is cookies and cream too @Taylor-RO! I love the ones that have giant chunks of cookie in them :p

My oh my! I can't believe it's November already! That means it's almost the end of the year - and the end of the decade, bonkers! My oh my, has time flown by :p. So let's introduce ourselves (or for veterans of the forums, reintroduce ourselves for the one-millionth time :p) by answering these random questions! What is your favourite ice-cream flavour? Peanut butter: crunchy or smooth? What do you consider to be the best TV show of all time? (Inserting an Avatar: The Last Airbender gif as I consider that show to be the GOAT haha) What is your favourite genre of music? Pineapples on pizza: yay or nay? Which movie/TV show character best represents you? I would say at the moment Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender, as we're both short, have short messy hair and like to be barefoot often. If you could travel back in time, which time period would you travel to? Btw, a joyous welcome to our newest builders, @rosiiboo96 and @TidalDecade! Perhaps you guys would like to introduce yourselves on this thread?

Hey @Pasta, I can imagine all the spirals of emotions you must be going through now just thinking about the party this Saturday :(. I was wondering if you know anyone you get along well with who might be going to the party as well? Perhaps you could stick/hang with them when you attend the party in order to keep your mind off things to do with "she"?
