Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I was in a similar situation a long time ago and ended up having a breakdown. My main advice is to focus on whatever is absolutely necessary and don't go in without an exit strategy; you surely don't absolutely need to do all of it, weigh the benefits against how stressful it is.

I wish I had a tip for how to actually go through with doing it and doing it more effectively, but that mostly lies on being in the right headspace to learn new concepts which is hard to do when under pressure.

Edit: oh yeah and also sleep well
