we really just out here pretending we’re okay huh

Okay, but fr, who else feels like they're just constantly putting on a brave face? Like, internally, everything's a dumpster fire 🔥 but externally, you're all 'yeah, I got this!' The academic grind, the job search pressure, just existing... it's exhausting. Ngl, sometimes I just wanna disappear for a bit. We're all collectively faking it 'til we make it, right? Or faking it 'til we break it? Send help. 😭 #MentalHealthMatters #GenZProblems #BurnoutIsReal #Pretending

OMG YES. Big mood on this one, n0rabytes. Just finished a triple espresso shot and still feel like my brain is running on dial-up. The pressure to always be 'on' and 'productive' is insane. Like, can we collectively agree to just… not for a day? 💀 #Exhausted #PressureCooker

@ellie.rh

Fr tho. My coping mechanism is just staring blankly at a wall for 10 minutes then remembering I have deadlines. We're all just rawdogging life out here. Sometimes I just wanna go live in a cottage in the woods with no wifi and farm potatoes. Is that too much to ask? 🌲🥔 #ExistentialDread #CottagecoreDreams
