I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.
Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.
@Jynx, I actually hope this good mood last. Yeah, it sucks to get sick. Yesterday I basically forced myself to sit in front of my computer 9-5, it was super hard, but uni had to be done. I had a lighter day today, just flipped through some content, took some time to rest, watched some TV, washed some clothes.
I hope your brain starts feeling less frazzled soon, sleep disruption can have a big impact on your brain. What kind of video games are you playing?

Re: Tw Not Coping
@creative_writer oh nice one, sounds like you smashed it out yesterday and you're getting to chill today, that's awesome. I haven't ever really been able to do that, I'm a last-minute-panic-motivated person through and through lol.
I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3 - it's like Dungeons & Dragons in video game form 😁
I hope my brain gets unfrazzled soon too, good night's sleep (not too long this time) should do it! 💜

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Jynx, not doing the work would’ve meant I would have had to do it at a later. I was actually sick yesterday, not sure if it was very smart, but my stubborn brain refused. At least I was at home yesterday, I think it would’ve been impossible on campus.
I haven’t heard about Baldur’s Gate 3 before, have heard of dragons and dungeons. I don’t play video games, so don’t know much.
I feel like sleep does help with a frazzled brain ♥️

Re: Tw Not Coping
@creative_writer Yeah somehow I never managed to make that happen for myself lol. But I still passed everything so it all worked out.
I really enjoy the roleplay element of games - embodying a character, making choices, exploring a different world, it's super fun.
Hope we both get good snoozles haha, me for my frazzle-brain, and you for your icky sicky 🤗💜

Re: Tw Not Coping
Hi @Jynx
Thank you. It’s definitely a shock and was very hard to see her yesterday. I’m disappointed I didn’t get to see her in time. It’s definitely made today hard to enjoy my birthday but oh well.

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Jynx, if I didn’t do it, then the hours towards the research project wouldn’t count, so I was essentially forced, otherwise it’s very hard for me to actually be that productive. I’m not even sure if I was that productive to be honest since my mind was very foggy. Role playing can be fun, I really should write a dialogue between fictional characters, would be a good rewarding break in between studying.
I have been winding down to sleep, can already feel the sleepiness kicking in. Do you have much planned for tom?
@Birdofparadise8, I hope you were able to take care of yourself today 💗

Re: Tw Not Coping
Yeah very hard @Jynx
Everyone is as best as they can be we have all be preparing for her death all week.
Very sad but we will support each other through it.
We went out for dinner and everyone is coming over tomorrow for carrot cake.
Can I ask have the shifts changed here as people seem to have finished at 9 not 10 pm?
