Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

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.

Thank you

@Birdofparadise8

Tomorrow? I know what I'm needing to do, but whether I get there or not I can't say...

It's a holiday tomorrow: what's on your radar?

@Birdofparadise8

I'm wondering if your either really behind, or overwhelming yourself?

Maybe both?...

Re: Tw Not Coping

No, I have nearly finished an essay that isn't due till the 24th of March; just doing some biochem study, I feel like after tomorrow, I should be on top of things.

I like to get things out of the way so if I don't understand it I can go back and work on it.

I have very high expectations of myself and I feel I need to know what I am doing.

Actually today my counsellor at KHL said for homework I need to work out how to take away those expectations do you know how to do that at all @Kyle1?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 not really... it seems paradoxical to have the goal of meeting Univetsity standards and yet not expectations...

From what you've described, you sound diligent and tuned in to your studies. Rightly so: you've moved interstate and have fees...you're naturally going to have expectations!

I guess you just need to control the volume, huh...
