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

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hahahah @Kyle1

I have a lab report due tomorrow, a stats assignment next week, two essays and quizzes due the week after. I will finish the essays this week and next, so I can focus on the lecture material. Then two more quizzes and another prac report the following week. That is just this month.

Next month I have ten quizzes, two prac reports, two group presentations and one stats assignment. Then two exams at the start of June I'll be done.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hmm... I wonder how you actually study under a work load like that??

Like, where's the time ? ...

Re: Tw Not Coping

I wonder the same thing, @Kyle1. All the assignments are due at the same time makes it hard to learn the content for the assignment.

I will look forward once I get these assignments done and the two exams over. I can work a bit more and relax well. Maybe me relaxing seems to be me ruminating, but in two months, who knows where I'll be?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Aww, thank you, @Kyle1. I appreciate you saying that. I'm trying my best to stay afloat from my depression, study and work.

I still have a long way yet with my study and recovery, if you can call it that yet. Do you know when one might know they are recovering, or am I just going through the motions and then recovery just starts to happen or something?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh, I don't know about that, sorry, @Birdofparadise8

I'd imagine recovery, or ongoing management, would be a very subjective and personal process...
