I feel...

I feel...

I feel desperately lonely yet, I feel like I don't belong anywhere. I don't belong in the 'Normal' world because I am tarred with the brush of mental ill health, yet because I've sort of stabilised now, I don't belong with my former peers either. I feel beige, uncoloured and boring with no emotion really even though if I had to say anything it is gutted. I feel trapped in a world I don't want and didn't ask for, yet whenever I try and break the shackles of failure, I am thrust back into the dark and reminded yet again of my failures (my Father is a constant person to remind me). I feel alone, even in a crowded room. I feel unheard, even if I am screaming loudly.

I guess I am just searching for something and not sure what.

Does anyone else feel beige?

Re: I feel...

I feel really anxious. I cannot explain it. I've come here tonight to distract. I feel like I am going to be sick. I'm just panicky and want to avoid everyone. I'm scared.

Hiya, i'm glad you've come here to distract, sounds really cruddy... i have so much work to do tonight but im procrastinating because im overly anxious over some of it (and have no solutions for some of the things i 'should' be planning for). so distraction sounds good here too!
How was the museum? (if you want to chat about that? or something else?) hugs

Re: I feel...

The museum was good. We are to use what we heard and saw at the museum for our assignment for college. Thing is not everything was there to answer our questions. I managed to submit one assignment today even though it is past the submission date. My lecturer I feel lost her patience with me a little because of the question I did not know how to answer (she never replied to the email). I feel so scared now of college. I don't want to go back, even though I know I have to. I apparently read the question wrong, therefore my answer was wrong. How am I supposed to answer a question if I don't have the information required? I feel let down. I'm freaking out. We start a new subject next week and I haven't even finished this one.

@Queenieglad your trip was good but sorry about the lecturer loosing abit of patience.

are you able to share the question here? and we can have a look at its interpretation?

In response to: Re: I feel...

Re: I feel...

I wish I could @outlander but it would give away my location, as the question pertains to the local area Indigenous language group. I don't think it would be allowed. So far I've sent an email to State Library which holds a lot of information relating to this language group. I hope to hear an answer in the next couple of days.

Every single time I log into the online learning portal for college, I panic. I can't stop it. I feel like I am a failure.

Re: I feel...

hopefully you can get some information quickly @Queenie your not failing, you are trying your best it and doesnt seem your lecturers want to be much help

Re: I feel...

Hi @Queenie - sorry i didnt see your reply earlier!! I hope you hear back from the library soon! Well done on find out where you could get the answer you need. Its frustrating that they're not helping ensure you are all on a level playing field with the correct/same information. I find studying online both really good (can suit fitting it all in!) but can also be really hard to keep up with etc. Sounds as though you're trying to keep up the best you can. Hopefully one missed question will be ok.
Lots of calming and deep breathing might belp before and during logging on etc... hopefully it will ease once you've caught up a bit again.
I'm so exhausted tonight, i was going to do some things but really i think i need to try really hard to get more than 4 hours sleep. 😞
Hi to all around 🙂

Re: I feel...

Thank you @outlander and @Former-Member.

LJ, I hope tonight provides a restful sleep for you tonight. Sounds like it is more than deserved. Lack of sleep doesn't help at all with mental health (I know that from experience).

Outlander, thanks for the pep talk. I think I need reminding sometimes that I am enough. I've given my study a break for tonight. I will do more tomorrow morning while there is just me home. I've discovered my lecturer doesn't work every day (only the days we are in class, as this is the only course she teaches), so therefore only answers emails on those days. Kind of defeats the purpose, as it means I could get a faster response by asking her personally. We shall see though.
