Re: not coping

is there anything you've found useful when you've had similar thoughts to this @Shaz51?

I know for me, if the bigger picture can't be helped, I feel like I have to actively change my mindset. It's a bit of a stop-gap for me and doesn't necessarily change the overall situation, but it has helped me recently.

For example, I've been studying for sooooo long and I really want to get my degree done. But with the rising cost of living, instead of working part time and studying more, I've had to keep working full-time. While it's not the same situation as you, it's been really getting me down and frustrated. I've had to really focus on the reasons why I've made this decision, and remind myself that it's (hopefully) not going to last forever.

This might not be helpful, but it's something which has helped me ❤️
