Thank you for reading my stuff earlier! You provided some rally good advice! But as a non-native speaker i feel like i didn’t phrase things the way i really wanted to, so excuse me for that. Couple of these videos ago you mentioned “developing grit”, and i think the lack of it really fucks up my life. I procrastinate, rarely go to uni, go to sleep at ~3am and unable to form any routine aside playing video games with my friends. It fucks up my passion for art. Music, movies, writing, you name it. I write down my ideas, but finish barely any. Also, I have a hard time listening to “no”. My friend have been setting boundaries on what they’re comfortable discussing (mostly personal life) and I’m not really respecting them. I try to pry out information they dont want to share, then feel left out and unwanted. I’ve had a talk with them and this behavior is tiring and makes them share stuff even less. And that makes me really upset about myself. All of that is just my inability to suck it up and push through, but instead going baby mode - not understanding im not the center of my friends world, lacking the desire to finish things etc. As a sidenote - i had been diagnosed with ADHD last month and now am going to therapy concerning that. But still want to change things myself P.s. Im that russian guy that wrote in earlier, so taking a gap year isnt an option (uni saves me from the army) Thank you!

Hi Miku and Acid! I’m very new to the SD community but my brother loves y’all so I decided to join it aswell, haven’t regretted it. Anyways, my question is about social media. I’ve been exposed to so much negativity ever since THAT guy got into office, it’s been stressing, so I think I need to delete social media to keep my mental healthy and focus on what I need to, to do what I want with my life. Should I? And if I should, is there any platforms you’d personally recommend for communication for people (I use Instagram to talk to my friends but will delete that most likely). And I wanna get into art, but I don’t think I should reinstall Musky Twitter to find art for inspiration. Do you guys have a website or an app that I can find artists? Thank you for everything you do and I hope you all have a beautiful May (assuming this is when you’ll be reading this lol) take care and drink lots of water :3

Hey again guys, thank you so much for reading my submission cause it meant a lot to hear what you had to say. As you suggested I’ve continued to walk my neighborhood and just usually avoid the spot where that guy was yelling at me. I generally walk late at night when nobody is awake and watch the rabbits and occasionally coyotes and barn owls that find their way into my neighborhood at night. There’s no easy way to say this but I’m pretty sure I’m addicted to weed. I smoke multiple times a day, every day for over a year now. I set timers for myself to make sure I don’t smoke twice in the span of a two hour period and I’d say I smoke about 3 or four times a day. It usually doesn’t interfere with responsibilities or family so I’d say I’m a high functioning addict but I notice it saps my interest in hobbies sometimes. Don’t worry I’m not asking you to cure my addiction. I’ve been putting off managing it as long as I can and I’m just wondering if you think it’s something I need to address as soon as possible, or kick the can down the road so to speak. You guys are the best ⭐️ -Crab

hi mika and astrid! i’m currently in college as a freshman and also a student- athlete so i have a lot on my plate right now, and trying to find time to do anything is really tough. i’ve also been dealing with crazy anxiety over my sport and not having enough time in the day to sit down and enjoy things that i like. i wanted to know if either of you have experienced something overwhelming/ anxiety inducing like this and what you would do/suggest to keep the anxiety at bay? much love <3

Howdy Astrid and Mika! Im currently reaching the tail end of my time in high school, with the convenience of graduating early while still 17 (YIPPEE). However, Im in a not great situation with my family atm. I recently decided that I did not want to go to college, instead wanting to pursue music and voice acting work as those both make me much happier overall. The one issue with this is that my mother (who already has disowned me and im lucky to still even be in the house) is threatening to throw me out if I dont go, and my dad is a pushover and isnt willing to back me up. I don’t have the money via scholarships or anything to actually go, nor do I really want to as sitting behind a desk for another 4 years will likely make me slam my head into a wall. I dont exactly have friends within my state or any nearby states (Indiana is a baren wasteland of a state) nor do I really have anywhere to go. My girlfriend currently resides in Canada, so I cant really go there, and my siblings have been cut off by my parents so I dont have a way to get to them. My savings from my current job are currently controlled by my mother, and my job doesn't pay enough for me to be able to properly sustain myself purely off my current job alone. Anyways with all of that context out of the way, I wanted to know what you'd recommend in terms of trying to deal with all of the mental and emotional stress from all of this. My anti-depressants (I take lexapro specifically), havent been working as well anymore, and I find myself unable to sleep some nights and instead spiraling down into a rabbit hole of worrying how everything could collapse in an instant. (I’m sure the addiction to listening to Dave Matthews doesn’t help cause holy hell can his music be depressing sometimes). Also, Mika, how difficult is it to your knowledge to immigrate to Canada? I know it takes up to 5 years of already living there on a visa and whatnot but beyond that the process is kinda foreign to me, but since I don’t have much left for me here I’d much rather get that process started sooner rather than later. Im probably going to have to leave for Canada at some point soon both with the political climate in America right now as well as also just wanting to go live with my girlfriend. Sorry about the wall of text for this question. Thanks guys! Love to the both of you. Much love to the listeners as well.

hi mika hi astrid. i live in a very wealthy neighborhood and it’s been makes me feel terrible lately. i go to school at my local community college which is in a poorer neighborhood and i constantly pass homeless people begging for food. i always give them food or money but i just can’t stop thinking about them and all the people in this country that are starving while i have too much to eat. i know my parents worked hard for what we have but i still feel terrible sleeping in this ridiculously large house while people are sleeping out in the rain 30 minutes away. my parents tell me thats just the way the world works and that if i want to do something about it i should work in a soup kitchen or become a social worker. am i being ungrateful or childish for thinking that we have too much? it’s not like any of this extra stuff makes us happier anyways. 谢谢Astrid和Mika老师!

heya mika and aztro!! thanks for answering my last question, unfortunately i haven’t had enough time to fully learn a 4-chord song, which brings me to my point of me potentially needing some reassurance please, i got told we have to move house because the owners want to sell the house, however we can’t move because my mom doesn’t have her american passport to show she can live in the UK (although we have a house in the uk anyway LMAO), and i have exams coming up in may + june time which im scared for, however, ive received an unconditional offer for a uni i really wanted to go which im so relieved about and released a lot of stress! im just really scared about the future as im taking a gap year and i have no idea how to fill my time, do you guys have any suggestions and to reassure me everything will be ok? thanks for everything <3

hallo super quick q; mika, would you consider yourself nonbinary? it is my understanding that you use he/they pronouns and i would like to know how to most accurately refer to you. 🙂‍↕️ similarly, how do you feel about being labeled a 'man'? thanks!! nothin' 4 aztro today, but hope you're both living laughing and loving 👋

Hey everyone, thank you for coming. Please grab one of the cold foldable metal chairs we rented out and get ready to squirm around as they all have slightly different dents in the seats that make it impossible to find any truly flat surfaces on them. There are no snacks due to allergy concerns but feel free to grab from the community punch bowl if you're feeling thirsty, miss Marley made it "Tropical Flavored" or whatever that means. Now that we're settled I must inform you that we are a bit early and the Mikasacus Fentanyl Intervention won't start for another hour so in the meantime let's talk about what I've been up to until then. I recently bought a region free DVD player to "LEGALLY" watch a movie that was not sold in the U.S. and after watching it I started to occasionally go out to places like Dollar Tree to find more odd movies and surprise myself by watching them without knowing the rating, reviews or anything other than the case description. Some personal favorites I found were "Pieces of April" and "Trumbo". Have any of you just bought a DVD or some other form of media without really researching it and giving it the old door number three treatment? Been thinking of doing the same for VHS but I might find more "Homemade" ones than I expect. P.S. Don't hold onto ladybugs for long, if you keep one trapped between your hands long enough it will get pissed off and start to eat at your skin even if given the chance to fly away, plus you won't feel it biting. Ain't they pretty?

Hey Astrid, Mika, I’m currently growing more and more distant with my friends and haven’t messaged them or even go out of my way to make plans. I won’t say I’m the most popular, but I have lots of connections with different people, do you think it’s arbitrary for someone to wall themselves up but you really want to hang out with them so much. Mika, Astrid, do you think I’m bad for getting nervous on what to say and how to deal with my emotions. I don’t really have anything else to say and don’t really know how to really feel like I did much in a day whether I did di something or really nothing at all , see ya later

Hello Aztro and Mika! I hope all is well and you both are having a lovely day thus far. I’m writing regarding my concerns about being too online. I previously had a lot of issues linked to my anxiety but, I am getting professional help managing that and relearning how to function as a proper human with anxiety, which has been going fairly well. Besides the other rather pressing adult functions of my life, the one habit I have difficulty breaking away from is being chronically online, or just doom scrolling in general. For context, I spend a lot of my time reading through research articles and journals or working on labs and samples for work and then in my free time I tend to read a lot of fantasy or horror novels for fun. Most of this is done on my iPad. It's been incredibly easy to switch back and forth between social media or YouTube when I get bored or during breaks, but then I succumb to hours of just scrolling and watching videos or going down some random internet rabbit hole. Most recently, I’ve started chitter-chattering with many folks online and it's added significantly to how much time I spend logged in, instead of doing things that pile up on my to-do list. I go on walks whenever I can, but I still have a bad habit of checking my socials between the hours. How do you both practice logging off and disconnecting for long periods of time?

Hey Mika and Aztro! I've been going to therapy for the past 2 months or so and things are looking up for me. I still struggle a little with constant anxiety and paranoia but your advice actually really helped me, aswell as the therapy ofc, I just wanted to thank you and ask what your favourite games are at the minute, since I have NO idea what to play it's soooooooooooo boring. Thanks :D

Hi Mika and Aztro I’ve lowkey been watching sleep deprived for a while as an escape (and I’m very grateful) and my best friend (aka crush) got into it too. I lowkey don’t know how to tell if she likes me or not or how to tell her I like her. We both said we are too stubborn to admit to our crushes we like them so the only way I would manage to learn her feelings about me is if I asked someone else, but that would leak my feelings which I don’t want💔

TobaccySweet

I could give you some advice if you’d like :) I don’t wanna overstep so feel free to say no haha
