Struggling: TW suicide

What is your assessment on @creative_writer? I never work well under pressure, maybe that is playing a part in how you feel tonight as well?

I’m here if you need a hand, or some support with trying to get going on it.

@Former-Memberit’s a research proposal. I only really chose my topic today. I know I have until Monday and there is still time, but I get really worked up when there isn’t enough progress going on. Didn’t get much done today. I spent much of today stressing out over flashbacks and the chaos in my life and had reach out because my mental health isn’t great. Xx

Well @creative_writer, you definitely prioritised your day and sought the most important things first. Your mental health is the cornerstone of progress and getting other things done. I understand it can feel frustrating to feel like you are working, hard, mentally, and still not feeling like you are progressing. Try not to be hard on yourself, uni is really hard.

Do you have some ideas? Do you like research? I thought that I would not like it, but after doing my very first research unit at uni, I knew that it was something I wanted to do as a career. So many people don’t like it though. I’d love to hear some of your ideas if you want to share?

Yeah, just the proposal is like a little tease isn’t it. You don’t actually get to find out about any of it. So annoying.

And I am really sorry to hear about Sunday, I am really relieved that you are here and on the forums tonight. I try to reach out to the connections that I have made, especially after a week off, because I worry about everybody’s safety. It must be very scary when you are with those thoughts. I can’t even begin to understand but I am glad you’re here xx

No one could ever claim that they didn't need to work on themselves, it is human nature to be forever changing. For some, the work is more and the fallout is harder - but they also make for the most interesting people. Being scared in your own mind is one of the most terrifying things and so many people struggle to understand that.

If you could choose a research project, no limit on time or funding, what would you choose to work on?? What are you passionate about??

For me, I would choose to work on the effects of prison on those in it and how that effects them on the outside.
