My life sucks

@rav3n No, that has nothing to do with the headache I have. The reason I got IBS and the headache in the first place was mainly because yesterday I was still deciding on what days and times and how many hours per week or fortnight that I would like to do the crisis supporter shifts, so the fact that I’m still yet to let the crew know was what lead to the ‘stresses’ happening in me which then lead me to develop these symptoms in the first place haha, yea cause I don’t know why I was low-key stressing about it but I know now that I can always let the crew know about it at anytime when I can, since it is a volunteer anyway. So that being the root cause on top of the matcha latte being the trigger has created the exacerbation of the symptoms.

I am well, @Blackcloud. I thought of you today because I have started studying as well and my gosh, going back to essay writing is SO hard!!

How are your studies going? 🥰

@AuntGlow true, essay writing really is hard, yeah.

right now I've just finished my first trimester and will be heading onto my second trimester next month, so lowkey looking forward to see what we're gonna be learning about in the subjects that i've enrolled at in this upcoming trimester - one of them being statistics so i hope that won't be too difficult for me and that i'll be able to pass it hehe!

i also did an exam for one of the psych core units last trimester but before the exam i've been crashing out about the fact how exams are made to be in closed-book, even when I've requested on my disability plan for them to be open-book, its still highly unlikely that they would still make the exams open-book because these kinds of assessment formats are set by the government, so that's sad...even sad that every psychology core units has an exam 🥲

@Blackcloud How are you today lovely? Has the headache gone? It sounds like it was awful.

hi @Cuddlebear i'm doing okay thank you, and yes the headache is gone! 🙂

i have my very first shift as a crisis supporter post-placement today! 😄

@Blackcloud @Yay! I’m so proud of you! If you feel like it let me know how it goes!

@Blackcloud ohh i see what you mean! stress can have a massive impact on our body hey. i tend to get tension headaches when i'm overwhelmed too. i hope you're feeling a lil better today!! also hoping your shift goes well 💙

hey @Cuddlebear hope you're having a lovely day! 💜

@rav3n @Cuddlebear @@The shift went okay. Gotta love it when you get help seekers that don’t respond to you at all after you start the conversation with them. For me, that’s actually my favourite part about interacting with them - either they see your message and don’t respond or they just go on to a different app or device to do something else whilst you’re trying to reach out to them.

Only had one full interaction which was my last interaction for the shift. Whereas every other ones I’ve got involved help seekers not responding at all haha. it happens in every shift I’m at though so you get used to it & it’s actually my most favourite part of all

@Blackcloud I’m so glad the shift went well. What are you doing for the rest of today?

yay for completing the shift!! @Blackcloud

oh yeah, i've definitely been one of those people who queue up for a chat but then go on other apps while i wait and then miss my turns 😅

@Blackcloud @Cuddlebear how are you both going today, got much on?
