Hi! My name is Jenae Browning and I'm currently attending college at CSN. This semester at CSN I was originally super excited to start and finally get my mind in the right spot to obtain a degree but unfortunately a week before classes began my boyfriend actually broke up with me. I know this may seem insignificant and not something that may matter but I suffer from depression and things like this are why I'm actually taking two of my classes for the second time. I'm more sad than angry because he knew how hard school was for me and for him to break up with me right before it started hurts and has been hurting me ever since. I guess I can take this as a good thing because he didn't do it right before exams or anything else important but still, I've been hurting and trying to feel better every day but nothing has changed. I know for a first blog this is pretty out there but writing has been the only thing helping me through this breakup so this was a perfect opportunity to share my thoughts. If anyone has anything they would like to share with me, whether about their own experiences or for advice I'm always down to listen. I'm hoping that by the end of this semester, I feel a whole lot better. But for right now. This is me. And breakups suck.
I applaud your courage in sharing your heart-break, Jenae!
ReplyDeleteWhen one door closes, another/more will open. Yes, better now than right before an exam or anything else important. May you cheer up and excel in IS101 Introduction to Information Systems :-)

Hi Jenae, I'm sorry that you're going through something like this right now. But like you said it is so much better to be going through this now and not during finals. From what I've heard, writing things down the way you opened up does help. I have been thinking of my previous relationship that I have had for years now. Since my accident I was in a relationship for over four years. She was a very toxic woman in my life, and caused me lots of problems. So I feel like everything happens for a reason. Because I wouldn't be in the position that I am in now if it wasn't for my accident. This is actually the very first time I'm writing about this. Your right, it does help you. My mom did tell me this when my uncle was murdered. But I just haven't gotten around to writing a letter to my uncle. The reason I am writing about this woman now, is just because it's been something that has been on my mind for a while now.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenae, I hope you feel better soon. You have mentioned that writing has been the only thing helping you on your breakup, writing was also my way of coping with my emotions. I have a folder in my Notes app where I keep all my writing and whenever I check that specific folder, I realize that I have overcome those situations where I think I could not overcome before. I am hoping by the time that you visit this blog post of yours in the future, I hope you feel a whole lot better.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenae! I'm so sorry that you're going through something right now. I know breakups can be hard, one of my favorite things to do while trying to take my mind off of things is to go out. I see that you like anime based on your background, there's an event here in Vegas called, 'Anime Night Mart', which is filled with lots of vendors and although I haven't been there myself I have heard great things. Maybe you could take it into consideration and visit during their next pop-up to help take your mind off of things! Wishing you the very best. <3
ReplyDeleteHi Jenae! Breakups do suck! and I'm sorry it happened at a time when you are doing something to better yourself! I also deal with depression and anxiety. Something that has helped me is gratitude journaling. I've made it a habit to write down what I'm grateful for every day even when I want to say nothing. It could be as simple as socks or not waking up with a stuffy nose. I do hope you have resources to help you navigate such a hard space. It's his loss girly and sometimes breakups are lineups for something better... that better could be a new and improved Jenae! Wishing you the absolute best & thank you for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteJenae, breakups do hurt, but I got news for you, nothing lasts forever. One day you will wake up and realize that it no longer hurts you.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing you can do is to continue to work on yourself.
Everything will workout and you will look back and wont feel the same.
Hello Jenae,
ReplyDeleteI admire you for deciding to continue your education even after going through a very difficult time. Always remember to focus on yourself and your goals. I'm positive that by the end of the semester, you'll see your initial blog post and will be proud of how much you've overcome.
Hello Jenae, Even, though we don't share the same cause I also suffer and are affected by depression amongst other mental and emotional issues. Like you I would be more than willing to talk and listen if and when you might need to so just let me know when that time comes.
ReplyDeleteHey Jenae, I am so sorry about your break-up, and how everything has been affecting you. Very brave is it of you that you can share what you feel, and how strong of you to open up like this. Surely times seemed like they must have gone rough, but putting your attention on classes and being around will comfort and support you more for your future. Hopefully everything starts looking up eventually.
ReplyDeleteBe strong Jenae and you will find love again!
ReplyDeleteFocus your time and energy on something more positive and the heartache will lessen with time :-)

ReplyDeleteBeing depressed while taking classes can be detrimental to your academic performance. You can however turn that around and use the classes as a distraction from what has been upsetting you. If you look at every ending as a new beginning, then nothing can ever be lost. The sun doesn't lose its brilliance when it sets. It's just waiting to shine again. It is the same for every new beginning.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenae, I'm so sorry to hear what you've been going through. It is amazing that you're still pushing through this semester despite your hardships.
ReplyDeleteI love your honesty, Jenae. I wish you the best moving forward. One thing I do want to say is that, as Professor Wu mentioned, things will get better if you put your time and energy into something positive and meaningful to you. So keep going, keep your head up, and watch the time pass by.
ReplyDeleteHello Jenae, I wish you the best and hope that you can make it through the semester with flying colors for grads, I know that with every challenge it makes us fall, but we are always twice as strong the second time around.
ReplyDeleteInteresting read. But the fonts appeared really piercing
ReplyDeleteHey Jenae, thank you for sharing. Its amazing how you are still pushing yourself to do better you got this! : )
ReplyDeleteHello Jenae, what really matters is moving forward and not dwelling on the past. It's the best thing you can do for yourself because you don't want to keep digging into a hole you can't get out of.
ReplyDeleteHello Jenae, Keep pushing you got this.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenae, last year I also had a break up it was on the second week of the fall semester. I know the feeling of it and having school. It was very difficult to focus but genuinely the best advice I can give is to keep going forward! You got this!
