Something’s not right

My special place

My special place

Well yesterday certainly threw everything off track. But thanks to some very thoughtful and kind people I was able to get threw it and continue.

I cannot say a lot about what happened as I am sure you all understand but need this support in place.

Things WILL be ok, just a lot to work out.

Psych visit yesterday sorted out some of the things and more things will be happening early next week.

I am sorry if I put anyone through any despair, but unfortunately what happened yesterday morning had to be done.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Re: My special place

@Snowie here for you if you want to talk 💖🫂. Some days can be confusing.

I’ve gone from un-functional to sort of functional with moments here and there is promising. I guess my brain is prone to going on overdrive, I get distracted very easily

Re: My special place

My brain just switches from wanting to be here to not wanting very quickly @creative_writer

I'm struggling a bit from what I did yesterday.

It is hard to find the concentration at times. to not get distracted. Sometimes just studying is hard enough, let alone trying to complete assignments.

Re: My special place

@Snowie I think that switch is very natural when you’re struggling. Many sit on the fence and it’s hard.

A lot of things can be more difficult with MI and being ND, but I can only do the best.

Re: My special place

That fence seems to be leaning one way lately @creative_writer It makes it hard to hang on.

I think you are amazing that you can have your MI and still study. You are achieving so much and not letting your MH stand in the way. I have no doubt in you hon that you will succeed.

Re: My special place

@Snowie and since you’ve hold on this far, it just shows how strong and resilient you are 💖

Having MI and uni isn’t easy. I’ve had so many moments when I underperformed

Re: My special place

But you have had lots of times where you over performed too @creative_writer When you got those assignments in on time, where you learnt things.

Holding on is tiring. I don't think this platform is the type of place where I can really say what has happened.

I don't want to trigger anyone.

Re: My special place

@Snowie I rarely get assignments on time, usually get extension. Sent in an extension for second assignment. I’m still doing assignment one which was meant to be due on Monday. Have I learnt things, maybe, but I’m honestly just winging it. I honestly feel more stupid than intelligent, despite what others say. Then it is hard to believe in yourself.

I totally get what you mean. I hope you are able to reach out for support if you need it. I know you say you don’t want to be reliant on it, but it’s perfectly human to need it at times 💖

Re: My special place

You are no where near stupid @creative_writer It is hard to see what is inside us. To see what we are doing well. It is so easy to concentrate on the negative aspects of our lives.

I reached out before. It has helped to get through tonight. Will see what tomorrow brings.

Re: My special place

@Snowie it is hard to believe the positive, maybe it’s human nature to hyperfocus on what we are lacking.

Glad reaching out helped you. I do hope tomorrow is kinder for you 💖
