Red's house

Red's house

Hi, I haven't been here consistently for a little while. Shutting myself off felt safer. I was formed after being suicidal last month. I needed to remove myself from online worlds for my safety and that of others. I'm doing better now, I'm just stressed out.

I enrolled myself to full time study at tafe in a few weeks. Getting that all done pushed me to my limits. But im looking forward. I have dreams. I have hopes. I have desires.

I want to pursue my business and my art talents. I will be doing a cert iv in business to give myself the skills to thrive in this. I want to have a future, which is great but scary. It gives the opportunity for failure. But also success. I got this.

Breathe, Red, breathe, create you're safe place. This thread I'll be hanging out more and try not to be too down or hard for myself. If anyone wants to hang out at my place they are always welcome.

There's always tea and coffee, with biscuits if desired. In this winter the fire is on and we can Chillax

I've been tempted to quit studying.

Things are bad ATM.

I've been waiting for a bed on the psych unit. I was supposed to get a call today.

I feel like a waste.

Hey @The-red-centaur

I'm really sorry to hear that things are bad right now. It is really hard to focus on study when we're not doing well. I wonder if there might be an option to take a break/leave of absence if you need to? Often courses can be quite flexible if you let them know that you're going through a tough time.

I started and dropped out of so many courses before I was ready and able to see one out. Study is really hard, and for me I know it's really stressful and often causes my MH to dip. That's not to discourage from pursuing study, it's just to say it's hard and you're not alone, and you're certainly not a waste.

I hope you get a call back soon

Hey @The-red-centaur

Sorry to hear that things are bag ATM. Did they manage to find you a bed?

@Ainjoule @Ru-bee thank you.

I got a bed yesterday afternoon. I've been up and down today. I've been trying to do art but I'm finding it hard to produce anything good or satisfactory or to even focus.

I have pneumonia. I have spent nearly the entire admission in bed unable to breathe.
