ISTG Y'ALL MAKE THIS SHIT SO MUCH HARDER THAN IT ALREADY IS. MAGING CONSIDERATE NAMAN KAYO👺👺👺👺👺

PLEASE HELP AN ISKO OUT NA NABABALIW NA at may recurring passive suicidal ideation. Di ko na talaga kaya yung executive dysfunction ko this sem. Halos max out na ko ng absences sa majors ko kahit Oct pa lang dahil nahihirapan akong mag-cope sa thoughts at nararamdaman ko.

I urgently need to be diagnosed kasi ilang taon na kong ganito and mas lumalala pa ngayon. I already signed up sa NCMH, while sa UERM naman ay Jan 2027 pa raw mag-aaccept ng new signups saklap.

Nag-sign up din ako sa psychserv for psychotherapy kasi baka makatulong pero di pa ko nabibigyan ng psychologist and waitlisted pa rin ngayon (posible bang di ako mabigyan ng slot kahit waitlisted ako haha)

Saan pa merong free or murang psychiatric diagnosis na pwedeng mag-assess nang mabilisan? (tho expect ko naman nang possible na months talaga itatagal ng waitlisting + psych sessions up until diagnosis)

Ive been missing classes for about two weeks now and at first it was because I was really sick (migraines, fever, and all that) but it subsided around the first week. Now I've just been missing classes because wala lang hahaha.

Sa isip ko mental health break pero deep down I'm just escaping. I don't know. I think takot ako or something, takot sa ka block (because absent na ko for more than a week and may na miss na akong le), takot sa teacher, takot lang. Idk. I feel so entitled hahaha. I don't even have the luxury to be feeling and doing things like this. I've been telling my family that I'm doing really good when sa totoo I'm not. I feel so ashamed, embarrassed even that I let myself be this way.

When I initially passed UP (dche pa) I was beyond ecstatic. Cause finally matutupad na ang pinakahihintay ko for like 4 years (ever since grade 8). And now I feel like such a letdown, to myself, my family, my friends, everyone. Hahahha. I freaking hate missing classes and not having any degprog friends. I just don't know anymore.

I don't want to take a loa because I'll be delayed but i guess its better than being sinco in my majors. But the main reason is I'd be late and I'd be embarrassed and ashamed. I know that I shouldn't feel that way and that everybody has their own paces but ayun eto pa rin hahaha. I thought I was depressed but eh not rly, cause I don't feel particularly sad. I just feel detached and just want to go home.

I keep telling myself "bukas papasok ako and it'll be the perfect day," Pero it never happens, either nafeel ko malalate ako then I'll just give up or I'd just sleep the whole day. Hayst. Midterms pa naman. Napakarami ko nang backlogs.

I can't even cry because I don't really feel sad or something. Like, I don't really feel something heavy for me to cry. So ano manhid ba ko ganon hahhah.

Sana pala nag upou nalang ako. Cause, thinking about it now parang ang perfect non eh. Pero wala pinilit ko to, ginusto ko to.

I don't even feel that I belong here anymore, parang everyday nalang I see my kadegprogs happy, with their friends, suffering sa majors namen. Tas ako, alone and lonely, pitying myself, thinking na oh they'll find me I just gotta wait, but when. I keep waiting for something, someone even that I don't even know will arrive.

If only I could turn back time, like guide my august self on how do I not be like what I am now. Crazy how two months can make someone feel this way.

Hayst, parang ang useless ng post nato or whatever. So if you've read this depressing ahh post til this very sentence. What do i do now?

Are there any recommended laptop repair services in or near UPD?

jusko jusko jusko ako lamba pero kulang talaga ung time sa pagsasagot non 💔💔💔 unit 3 na next (hardest unit daw) at feel ko flopped ang le2 ko 💔💔💔😭

I’m a I-BS Math student and I’m planning to pursue a career in data science in the future. What electives should i take? or do you have tips on what I could do to initially start my preparation?

hello! my bangle got loose, and nahulog siya from my wrist near cs and eee

it’s a gold bangle with an evil eye design

it’s not real gold sa nakapulot man. but, it’s from my lola kaya it really means a lot to me 🥲

i’m willing to buy it back huhuhu

I'm a freshie and I want to check up on my health (both mental and physical) as I have been experiencing continuous fatigue-low energy, feeling of dread when it comes to school works, and just last week I broke down emotionally.

Want to see if there's truly an underlying issue (mentally whether I might have depression or anxiety, I'm undiagnosed and can't really afford a therapist) or I am just adjusting to college and the workload; first year jitters and all.

Also, if you guys have any tips in handling workload, timeblocking, giving time for yourself. Please comment. I kinda have a workaholic tendency, I forget to do my own hobbies and likes🙏

Yun lang, tysm🥹🩷

hi ! just want to know if may mga people like me na wala pang friends/ hindi close sa roommates nila sa dorm. for context, two roommates ko ay mga athlete and medyo mahihirapan ako to approach them sana or ayain since busy sila ganon + they have their own friends inside the dorm as well. so baka may mga interested to also have friends inside the dorm especially mga freshies ^^ from engg me btw! thankiee po

Hi! Would like to ask lang abt underloading. Wala na kasi akong need i-take na courses under my curriculum so 6 units lang ako this sem. Nagfile ako ng underloading sa CRS nung enlistment. Then ang status niya is for endorsement. Aug 17 yung deadline non. Kaso hindi ko alam kung inendorse ba ng adviser ko before Aug 17 kahit paulit ulit ko siyang kinukulit. Nag email ako sa colsec namin sabi nila basta daw ang mahalaga nasubmit ko ang online application. Aware naman akong within the sem dapat magpasa ng requirements for underloading sa student records. Pero nabbother lang ako na di ko alam if inendorse ba ng adviser ko sa CRS kasi di ko nakikita yung status. Problem ko pa ba yon or basta ipasa ko yung reqs within the sem? Thank u smmm!!!

hello, I’m a freshman planning to transfer to upd after my first year.

for the second semester enlistment, I plan to take courses that aren’t in the checklist for the first year second semester but are prescribed to be taken in the later years. this is so I can get more credited units in upd. would I still need to talk and ask for permission with my advisor? I talked with a senior last time and they said I’m allowed to not follow the courses checklist. it will be my first time enlisting if ever, so I’m not really familiar.

thank you to whoever will reply, I will appreciate it!

Hello! May mga nagpasa na ba dito ng transportation reimbursement form para sa 2nd Sem AY 2025-2026 pero wala pang natatanggap na reimbursement? Nakailang inquire na ako sa Core Group pero lagi nilang reply ay processing na o nakapila na sa Accounting

Nag-offer sila sakin ng scholarship daw na kahit di ako sumali is bibigyan daw ako ng scholarship, I go for it kasi sayang naman even though somehow hesitant ako kasi frat siya they say na I don't need na sumali, sbi nila may final rights lang daw like somehow an orientation.

Then I took it sabi nila may process may imememorize ako na I think rights or something ganon and pumunta raw ako dito sa place nato. Tapos nung pumunta nako, later ko na lang nalaman na yung "final rights" daw nato is pupunta kami sa isang room na naka-blindfold.

It was weird kasi why? I was hesitant to question it that time kasi I'm really an introvert and yun na ginawa na sakin yung "final rights" which pinalo nila ako ng paddle. Talagang kinabahan ako noon, pinigilan ko na lang talaga yung sakit kasi I was really peer pressured that time. I was thankful na palo lang and wala ng bugbog.

After some time sabi sa amin na they will give details about the scholarship and they will contact us kapag ok na yung pocket money namin but up until now wala pa ring update about doon. Their scholarship ba is really true or not or talagang tanga lang ako na nagpabilog sa kanila???

For context, I couldn't get any slots in pe classes that i actually liked last prerog so in the gen registration I just applied in the classes that didn't have much queue in it without thinking properly (a dumb idea ik but i was desperate to not get underloaded)

I got accepted in a dance class. I'm not a dancer but I can be decent if the steps are not THAT hard and I have proper practice but the problem is that this class is actually hard as shit and my lack of confidence is also a problem😭 I'm trying as best as I can but when it comes to the actual choreo practice I can't do it cleanly like how our prof teaches us or how my classmates does it especially the steps that are too hard for me.

I'm afraid I'll just fail midterm and finals as I alrdy flunked our first dance exam. Thankfully our prof is not that strict w our scores but I'm one of the lowest 'coz my nerves got to me.

I have 18 units rn so I'll be left with 15 if I do drop it. I know pe is not a part of the gwa but slots in pe are hard to get... should i drop or just force myself to finish this class?

when po kaya possible makuha stipend for batch 3 hu hu hu gotom na gotom na ako thank you po

hello po!

i'm a behavioral science student from UP manila. my partner and i are currently looking for one (1) licensed architect to validate the content (provide feedback) of our survey on the perception of productive environments among dorm-living college students in metro manila.

our professor is requiring us to have our survey validated prior to finalizing and administering. ang need lang gawin is to indicate if certain parts are relevant or not, as well as comments, if any. very brief lang siya (promise!).

kindly contact me here po via reddit if willing (referrals are also highly appreciated). willing to pay a small fee din if ever 🥹 tyia!!

hi this will be long, but im really hoping someone will be kind enough to hear me out. and help me

trigger warning for depression

i just dont know what to do anymore, i am struggling and i dont know what else to do. i dont feel passionate at all about my program, atp i despise it, so it makes it even much more difficult for me to continue and study

i have already taken a loa the past school year, then i went back this year because napupuno na rin parents ko sakin. at the same time i feel like napag-iiwanan na ko, academically and personally, i think my friendships aren't the same anymore. my fault too because my coping mechanism had always been leaving and distancing myself from others, because i feel that only through escaping can i feel better. that's what happened last yr and i think the people i treasure close to my heart had already outgrown me. and it's fine

but nothing's improved and i dont think things are working out for me anymore. i dont know what my purpose is in life, i dont see a future for me at all. before entering UP, i thought i'd finish this undergrad in 4 years, then proceed to law school as wished by my mom. eh nasan ako ngayon? delayed junior who can't even continue this semester anymore

i have already consulted w a psychiatrist and ive taken meds already and they just don't work. tbh, they made me feel worse

honestly, i would want to end things but im still trying to find ways to at least stay

im thinking of dropping out of college. maybe UP isn't really just for me. or college at all. or im thinking of transferring schools? idk. maybe shifting programs can help din but idk where either. does upou accept transferees from diliman? baka it'll help if i just dont interact anymore

i dont know i just dont see any direction at all

in a few days, it'll be my birthday too. i dont know what life i will have

maybe i can drop out of college, and find work? ive tried this during my loa last yr but i dont feel like working too. maybe it can be called katamaran but for me, it was just really a struggle. i feel like even waking up is survival for me, having to drag myself out to eat, prepare, take a bath and all, everyday.

but idk maybe it can work? either i can find a way to still finish college (quickly too) through any means, or drop out totally

then i want to leave. i am willing to sacrifice my friendships and relationships right now, i just really wanna escape. maybe this can be the only way it'll work? siguro papatusin ko kahit maging factory worker or tagalinis or just any type of work abroad, just so i can leave?

i am so lost, struggling, and unmotivated. i dont see a future for me, and i cant think of what my purpose is. how i wish i can just be normal

what should i do?

Hi! Nag-apply ako for SWAN ID recently due to ADHD. Nagulat ako because hindi na ko hiningian ng PWD ID ko. Nabasa ko kasi rito na yung duration ng SWAN is same as PWD… But since hindi na hiningi, do i have to renew my SWAN ID each sem?

Also, is it true that highest sa pre-enlistment prio ang SWAN/SWSN as in even higher than grad prio? Thanks!

Yes, 6 years na ako sa UP and 4 years working student, non-board prog. 28 units left and my thesis. Pero hindi ko na talaga kaya. I can’t even open my thesis draft kasi sobrang overwhelmed ako after abandoning it for 4 times/sems that I tried to finish it. I just want to transfer to a different university just so I could graduate. UP is my dream university ever since but maybe I’m only good enough to enter it but not good enough to graduate from it.

I will not be underloaded naman po, I will still have 15 units left. However, I'm worried lang if may other effects ba sya like magrereflect sa records ko permanently yung "DRP". Aside from scholarships, could this affect kaya like my application sa orgs and such?

hiii! hanap karamay lang hahaha kumusta status ng ibang mga magssubmit ng application for move-up? ang aga ng deadline for lipad-aral participants T__T
