Study

So I'm a single mum to 4 and studying full time. Two weeks in I seem to have had a little breakdown, I took a day off from school, and after a really massive sleep feel so much better, but I now worry it will happen again. I don't have the option to go part time (isn't offered), and I need to study as I was an idiot in my youth and didn't build a career for myself so am now 35 with nothing to offer the workforce and I really need a job so between a rock and a hard place. I've tried various psychologists, I take my meds (going back to my dr to discuss what happened last week)

welcome to the forum and thanks for reaching out.

You have a lot on your plate with 4 chi,Daren and full time study.

Is there a counsellor at your place of study or a study centres who can help you manage your time and give you support?

Fulltime study is a very hard for anyone with out your other responsibilities.

I went back to part time external study in my late 30s with children and a chaotic marriage and felt alone. It was overwhelming at times as Inhard part time work and I spoke to a counsellor once who helped me organise my time and gave me confidence I could cope.

Fell to post here when you want to.
