Something’s not right

My post to the universe of nothingness has just disappeared.....

My post to the universe of nothingness has just disappeared.....

I told my therapist what the voices said and now I feel so drained and washed out and worthless and useless. These are my daily companions and I'm so scared of them. They haunt me and feel me with fear.
They tell me to hurt myself and that I need to d i e. That I should. That I deserve to.
But I'm too scared.

Re: My post to the universe of nothingness has just disappeared.....

Thanks @Baboo.
I describe uni as like doing the HSC every 6 months. Same amount of work, same amount of stress, same impact on your future.
I'm struggling with statistics at the moment. I know I could get through it, but it's just taking me so long. I as a general rule love uni and studying - but it gets stressful, particularly when you get ill during semester.
What was your diploma in @Baboo? Yay for studying!
@Former-Member might be studying this year? Don't know if she has decided if now is the right time or not?
Thanks @Former-Member - I've worked out that I only need 40% in this to pass the subject, so if I can finish two questions tonight I might make it.
I just wish I could transit a high velocity projectile through my brain. I feel that would fix it. I don't know why, I just do. But I know it wouldn't be a good idea.

I have crazy thoughts like that some days @Former-Member and I don't have voices. So the plan is onwards and upwards for this assignment. I have a flipping annoying horn to rack the voices off. All we need you to do is see if you can get a bit done at a time.

Ps have you got mints or something that you can concentrate on 'mindfully' for a bit. As bad as that sounds it does ground me a bit. Also I sniff perfume sometimes to get my senses to over ride my thoughts. Just a thought. Mostly I'm happy to hang for a bit with you.

@Former-Member I super wish I could help you with your assignment. For whatever weird reason (most likely the fact that I'm aspie!) I have a bit of a talent for inferential statistics. I can't imagine how hard it must be trying to get an assignment done while hearing voices.

Thanks @Teej and @Baboo,
I've just made myself a cup of tea and believe it or not I think some perfume might help. I don't have any now, but it might be good for my therapist appt tomorrow. Give me something calming to focus on. I'm quite partial to burning essential oils and the like.
I just sometimes need to rage and yell and know that someone knows what I'm going through, if that makes any sense? It seems easier to cope with it if someone else knows and understands.

Here's one of my graphs - but it's all wrong, the labels are all in the wrong order, but at least it's something!

@Phoenix_Rising, can you explain confidence intervals to me?

Re: My post to the universe of nothingness has just disappeared.....

You know what I do too @Former-Member with just knowing someone knows I'm having a crappy day. They don't have to do anything except acknowledge they know. Funny creatures us humans. Have a feeling diprotodons are much less chaotic. I found this roll on perfume at the chemist and it's an essential oil one and I carry it with me every where now. It's really unusual but calming. Good luck with the next bit. Let me know how you go.

Re: My post to the universe of nothingness has just disappeared.....

@Former-Member What do you need to know about confidence intervals?

If the mean of a sample was 10 with a 95% CI of [8, 12], then this would mean that whenever you took a sample from that population, 95% of the time the mean would be between 8 and 12. Thus we can be 95% certain that the true mean is between 8 and 12.

Does that help?

Re: My post to the universe of nothingness has just disappeared.....

How they are calculated.
I get that they are sample mean+/- k*SEM.
But I don't really get what the standard error of the mean is, not how they relate to the CI.
