8 Ways You Know You’re Mentally Exhausted

cdn.pixabay.com

You’re easily irritated

Giphy

Someone decides to breathe? Annoyed.

Someone is walking? Pissed.

Don’t even get me started on when someone dares to LOOK at you.

No motivation.

Giphy

Not even a date to your favorite restaurant can convince you to get out of bed. You just don’t want to do anything.

Anxiety and/or panic attacks

Giphy

Everything is stressing you.

You can’t think straight.

You feel like the world is crashing around you.

Lack of sleep

Giphy

Before you know it, it’s 4 A.M. and your alarm clock will be going off in two hours.

Zero patience

Giphy

Your mom can be acting sweeter than apple pie, going above and beyond for you, and you just won’t have it.

A stomach ache that’ll never leave

Giphy

You just always feel sick, and you can’t put your finger on why.

Crazy hormones.

Giphy

See a cute puppy? Cry.

Want food? Cry.

Someone doesn’t smile at you? Cry.

It’s like your period, only worse.

You feel like you’re in a zone

Giphy

You can go through the whole day and not remember anything, because you were a zombie the whole time.

If you have any or all of these symptoms, please take time for yourself. Your mental health is so important and can affect you in the worst ways.

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Michigan State University

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

Awkward Icarly GIFfrom Awkward GIFs

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great.
