Okay last new post as I'm new.
I was recently fired from my job as a Print Designer. This happened because I'm dyslexic and I kept getting measurements wrong. So fair enough but I didn't handle it well.
I got black out drunk. And having no memory of this... I transferred from my course at uni which is Design (in which I was averaging 86%) into Psychology. The uni won't let me change back now.
Ah its the f*** you that f***s you after all.

@pip well I was costing my boss money. So it is understandable. No matter how many times I checked it it still came up wrong. Might be time for a change anyway. With my marks I can get into anything. Just have to find something.
Thanks for your post.

Hi @Gilgamesh
Believe in yourself
And don't let others tell your not worth it
If someone tells you your not good enough for them
Their the ones at fault and not you
Self worth is something to think about
