Hello, question asker.
Give him a warm hug.
Your confusion: "I keep telling myself to do my best and leave the rest to fate, but I still can't let go. There are only 44 days left before the exam. I have 16 subjects in the National Higher Education Self-Study Examination, and I have 6 left. I will take 4 subjects in this exam in April, and if I pass all of them, I will take the last 2 subjects in October and get my junior college diploma this year. I don't know what fate has in store for me. I work in an internet cafe now, doing front desk and cashier work. I make a little over 2,000 yuan a month, and I don't have any debts. I don't need to borrow any more money either. I still feel more at ease spending my own money. The time and years of debt are finally in the past. I feel like I've finally "gained my freedom and a new life." The problem now is that I want to study, but "he" always comes to mind. I feel a headache, a pounding head, and dizziness when I try to do problems on my phone or tablet.
I don't have the same experience when I play other apps. It's not always like this. Sometimes I don't even want to play games, and I'm not interested in TikTok. It feels like my mind is...
But "he" is unreasonable and irrational! To be honest, I really want to get rid of "him." Right now, I'm telling my heart and mind, as well as my subconscious and conscious, and every cell in my body, every bit of DNA, the entire universe, my last consciousness, alaya consciousness, and pure consciousness, to believe and know that I've completely gotten rid of "him" (whether "he" is a hallucination, a real person, or something else, I've got to "get rid of him"). I've completely gotten rid of "him"!
Or go back to the beginning of the question, give it your best shot, and let fate take over. I'm really tired.
Hello! I think you're a very motivated person. You're working while also studying for a college degree and want to improve your qualifications, which is great!
I'm also curious about who you mean by "him." Is he your ex-boyfriend?
You have a lot of history with him, so it's hard to forget him, right?
You want to study, but he always comes to mind. Is that what you mean?
Sometimes I think that if you like someone, you should just allow yourself to like them. You don't have to be together. It's enough to allow yourself to restrain yourself in your actions in terms of relationships. You can still like someone and love them. That in itself is a happy thing.
When you say you want to kill him, you mean you want to get rid of the thought of him, right? If that's the case, can you get rid of these thoughts? The years are right there, not more, not less, not increasing and not decreasing. The more you try to forget him, the more the memories stick with you.
There's a psychology experiment called the polar bear experiment. A psychologist joked with his young nephew, telling him to sit in a corner and promise not to think about polar bears for ten minutes. If he did, he would be given a big reward. Ten minutes later, his young nephew cried and said to the scientist, "Uncle, I've discovered that the more I don't think about polar bears, the more they fill my head. Isn't this a bit like what you're thinking?"
So rather than trying to stop yourself thinking about him, just let yourself think about it. He's only given himself a deadline of ten minutes a day to think about him, and then feel that he's doing pretty well, wish him well, and hope that he's doing well.
Good luck with your studies! I'm rooting for you and the world is too.

I can sense the frustration and exhaustion you're feeling. It's important to focus on what you can control, like your study schedule, and try to block out any negative influences. Just keep going one step at a time, and remember that each small effort is a step towards your goal.
It sounds like you're under a lot of pressure, and it's affecting your concentration. Maybe it would help to take short breaks during study sessions or find a way to relax, like meditation or a walk. Sometimes just changing your environment can make a big difference in how you feel.
The thoughts you're having about "him" seem to be really intrusive and are making it hard for you to focus. Have you thought about talking to someone, maybe a counselor or therapist? They might be able to give you some tools to manage these thoughts and help you concentrate better on your studies.
It's clear you're determined to succeed with your studies and achieve your goals. Despite the challenges, your perseverance is admirable. Try setting small, manageable goals for each day, which can make the larger task feel less overwhelming. Celebrate every little victory along the way.
You've come so far already, from working off debt to being on the path to earning your associate degree. That's a huge accomplishment! It's okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes. Just remind yourself of all you've achieved and trust that you have the strength to continue moving forward, no matter what.
