I wish i had been healthy when studying and done this properly. It's absolute hell trying to pick up the pieces for my big exam thats coming up, all the lectures I've never been to, all the exams the most i was able to study for was half assed so i still don't know the subject properly, the study notes and lecture notes that i never properly sorted after i got home and still fly around, almost impossible to decipher now. I had a chance to rewatch some of the lectures that were recorded for covid, but today for some reason I've been thrown out of the website again, and I haven't gotten even halfway through yet.
I've been going through all my study materials trying to sort them and prepare for the exam, and found subjects i have no memory of taking, meticulous flashcards i have no memory of making (nor of their content). I see mountains and mountains of evidence how bad i was doing all these years, and how much i tried despite, still.
And it makes me so sad, so Fucking sad. I am grieving all the time i struggled so hard and tried and tried my best, and it was a jangled mess i am trying to pick up now.
And i am angry because it's so much harder trying to study with no or lacking lecture notes, having to dig through the mess instead of just taking it out of a folder. It was hard then, and suffering back then still makes life harder for me now.
#own post#disability#grief#anger#i am doing better now not perfect but better and i think of all the lost potential too#i could have been very good ngl but instead i was struggling and kept failing tests and getting through with just the required points#and it makes me so angry because i do find it interesting and i can be brilliant at what interests me. remembering tiny details#i could have shone so bright but instead its all just struggling and then reliving that struggle while trying to pick up the damn pieces#and it makes me so sad for past me (who I can't even really remember) because he tried so hard and put in to much energy#like the amount of energy i used to have while severely ill is another thing because I don't have it anymore#i am doing better so i do have more energy available and it also takes less but i cannot imagine ever doing that again while suffering#i don't have the reserve anymore to do things while suffering. i used it all up#its all gone and when i look back its still Still such a mess#it makes me think 'and for what' because what am i even supposed to do with that#i used it all up just to survive and get by#all my reserve energy all of it#and when other look at it at what i achieved all they see is a failure. and i try not to do the same bc i was there i know why#but sometimes it does feel like that. sometimes it just frustrates me so much#I've gotten out of the depths of the severe burnout i was in after the last semester a few weeks ago and it's a lot to process#now that I'm not actively in survival mode anymore in active fight or flight over doing anything uni related#and i start to process all those emotions#i am proud of paar me and i feel so sorry for him#and for me
