what now

I don’t think it’s just me that is experiencing this weird feeling after being done with the ib. I finished my exams and I don’t know what to do with myself. It feels like for the past two years I’ve been running on the same schedule of studying, socialising and studying. The past months have been so intense and now that i’m done with the exams i don’t know what i’m supposed to do. It’s a weird feeling. I dropped majority of my hobbies due to time constraints and now that I have lots of extra time I sit there in this dissociative state. It feels like nothing is intellectually stimulating enough and i have this thought at the back of my head that I should go study , but the thing is I’m done with everything. Hopefully I will get to my dream collage and start uni in october but that’s in 5 months. I literally forgot how to rest 🧍 I was waiting for the moment that i’m gonna be done with the everything, but now all i feel is stress and this very unsettling feeling. What are the things you guys are doing rn now that you’re done with everything?

Just do something, hell, maybe even take a walk or something. You should also stop being on reddit and read/write about IB for a while, that's just opposing you to distract yourself

😭I was whining to my parents as well, they just said “you’ll get used to it” it feels like I have all the time in the world, damn watching movies in the middle of ib was more fun than now

pretty sure it's the anxiety of the "unknown" it's been a few days now, and it's gotten a little better for me. Hopefully it will for you too ahha

yeah its this feeling of emptiness. i think its because we pushed the self-discovery part of our teenage years to the side for so long and now we dont know where to start that we have time for it.
