I'll finish my thesis this semester. I'm sure!

    I'm so stressed and feel like it's impossible to do mine. It's a weird feeling I feel empty and lost, yet I know this is the last work I have to get done to finish uni and get my degree. This still isn't enough of a thought to push me at this last stage. I've done 4,000 out of 9,000 and I have 5 1/2 days to finish and submit which is terrifying. Thanks for the video and words of support! You've given me some optimism I've been missing this last month.

      @marias.8941 Місяць тому

    Thank you for sharing, great video! I’m also a gifted woman from The Netherlands and I only found out at age 25 that I am gifted. It explained so much for me, but I’m still discovering how it has impacted me. I was never given the support I needed and have some pretty bad anxiety because of this. Back in the 90s there just wasn’t much knowledge about these things. I recognize all of the things you mention, like the constant need to prove myself and the extreme perfectionism. For me it’s also the feeling of “i’m not good enough”. I’m now in therapy again and my therapist suggested EMDR. I started looking into it and found your video, which gives me a lot of hope. So thank you 🙏🏼 will also be looking into the tiktok content you mentioned ☺️
