I think i just flipped it!!!

thank you @Former-Member i really do quite enjoy studying, just finding it very difficult to concentrate which is where that question came into it @Former-Member @Queenie.

i dont know what to do, it could go either way, they could be judgemental which im thinking is the most likeley outcome or it could go the other way and they could be supportive.

i dont know. now im really panicking. i dont know wwhat to do

It's entirely up to you @Former-Member. You don't have to divulge anything you don't want to. 🙂

It can be really scary to feel like you're exposing yourself. To me, it can feel a bit like I'm allowing myself to be vulnerable, which I don't like doing. I think it's normal to question yourself when something feels scary.

Trust yourself. You will know if/when it is right to say something. If it feels right, it probably is right.

maybe i should do a draft letter before i send it so i can edit and get you guys to check it over for me and see what you think.. would you be up for it @Queenie @Former-Member @Former-Member

I'd be happy to have a read over it when you've drafted it up 🙂

What are you going to do that's nice for you tonight before bed @Former-Member? It's stinking hot inside our house and I think I am going to jump in the shower again before bed. I've just taken my meds and they've been making me crash big time so I'm hoping to be asleep fairly soon

yeah me too @Former-Member i think i need a bloody towel im dripping in sweat.

ok ive made up a draft let me know what you think

Hi ________

I guess there isnt really an easy way for me to tell you so i guess i just have to spit it out. i think its best if you know that i have been diagnosed with severe GAD, severe PTSD, severe Depression, mild health anxiety and mild social phobia. i dont really know what else to so but you've probably heard it before.

i guess i just need a bit more feedback from you as to how you think im going in the course so far. im panicking that im going to fail this course despite studying at least an hour a day.

i probably sound stupid to you but i thought you shoudl know. please dont judge me

Kind regards __________

@Former-Member

If you're comfortable sharing that with your mentor then I think that's great. I was going to suggest including how your mental health issues might impact your study, as I think it can be hard for people to know what to 'do' with information like this that you give them. You did that though when you asked for some extra feedback. If you can think of any ways your mentor might be able to support you, then it may be worth including them too.

I'm getting sleepy so I am heading to bed. You've done really well tonight @Former-Member 🙂

P.S. - I hope you sleep well and I look forward to hearing how you get on with your mentor ❤️
