Mentally moving on

[A2D2]

I and on my last unit of a Diploma but I can't possibly finish it this year and it is the second time I have tried it. I'm not really doing anything wrong, just have a lot of other stuff going on and trying to stay sane as well - you know how it is.

I think I am being bloody minded and trying to finish because I should and I'm really upset I won't but by the same token, I want to move on with my life and have other things staring me in the face that need doing.

I don't see a job from it any time soon if ever.

I'm just not sure it is worth the mental energy to finish but I think I'm going to feel I let myself down by not getting there in the end.

Hi A2D2,

I was scrolling through the threads today and saw that yours had gone unanswered so I'm really sorry you haven't had any responses yet. How have things been since you posted? Have you made any decisions about what to do with the Diploma?

I know that you are not alone with this. Often the last module/unit can seem the most draining and exhausting, even if it seems and feels just like all of the other modules.

If you're looking for practical advice, often places do exemptions for medical reasons (which includes mental health). That way you could potentially push your due date if mental health is something you're really struggling with right now. I've had exemptions for my own mental health too.

I encourage you to try and finish your Diploma, even though you want to move on and have it done with. It just seems like you are so close to the end and I agree it would be a shame to stop it now.

Hope this helps and best of luck with your decision (if you haven't already made it!).
