I am really not doing so well & I am struggling. I can't seem to function too well atm. I am shutting down. I saw my psych today, and she doesn't think doing exercise science is going to be good choice to study because there is not much work available in this field.
I am not able to articulate too well, what is happening for me. I am just exhasuted and scared and alone.

@oceangirl 
Goodluck for today sis xxx
I had nearly 7 hours sleep - must be a record 
I actually feel this morning like I DID sleep and I am not as tired as I usually am. I am going to try and do a few things around the house today - not going to push too hard though.
Will wait for any news this afternoon - hope you don't have to wait long to find out!
Thinking of you today - and always...
Zoe

Glad to hear you slept well last night and feeling better within yourself
I have just finished my assessment via phone. It will be another 24 to 48 hrs before I hear back, it depends on how many assessments they are processing.

Hi @oceangirl
How did your assessment go?
...and more impotantly... how are you feeling?
I am starting to get a bit tired so am not going to do anything else this afternoon. Have been to the chemist and the supermarket - and helped chase some kids around who stole a whole bunch of stuff from a shop and then started throwing it at cars - police are looking for them now!!!
The freezer is stocked with Zooper Doopers (they were on special) so I should be right for the hotter weather later in the week
Hope you are feeling ok

Hi @Zoe7
It went good a lot of information was gathered and discussed more so then any other assessment I have done previously.
I am not feeling like my normal self after an assessment I am bit apprehensive. Not neccessary a bad thing just a bit different, underneath all this- I feel like something is shifting.
I went down to the shops after my assessment and payed some more bills and went to the supermarket too- I just got some things for dinner, and I have no ice blocks in the freezer.
I started to feel sick again at the shop but feeling better since I came home.

Sounds like it was a pretty tough afternoon for you sis.
