I'm really trying to feel better about myself

I don't know where to start with this, there's so much in my head right now...

I've got nothing, but my cat...no job, no friends, far from a family priority etc. etc.

My mum died 10 years ago on 26.2 and I still miss her so badly, she was the only person I had who was in my corner. Everyone else (family, friends that currently aren't talking to me) say I play the victim and am all "woe is me"

My sister's said I look like a silverback gorilla and other such things. She's a bully who gets away with it all, because she's the favourite and "normal" (kids, married, no mental illness - although I have doubts about that last one). My dad's called me fat and said that "You're bent like your mother" (she was bipolar). He lives with me and getting him to do anything is such a battle, he doesn't feel like paying the rent, so it's left to me, goes to work when he feels like it, helps my sister with her house but won't with me etc. etc. etc....I could go on and on with them!!

I have a GP and a psychologist that I should go back to (sessions are free and they're within walking distance), but I wonder if it's worth it when my psychologist said me running an instagram account for a celebrity is me living in fantasy land

I won't write any more, because I can't see anyone replying. I've got nothing and nobody and just want to forget...

You can do it!

i think you said last offers were at the end of June, so try to keep that date in your mind, rather than anything earlier.

If you don't hear by the end of June ... try again next semester.

Try to relax now.

Everything will be ok.

I think the last offers are in the 21st, when I'd start on the 25th of June...it's cutting it awfully fine though.

I wish I had an ounce of faith in myself getting through everything...I just don't.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

I GOT AN OFFER - I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!

I didn't get an email so I just checked the application page and there it was..."you've received an offer"

I'm shaking and crying and don't know what to do...

Hahaha, kiss totally accepted!! 😘😘😘

Enjoy this success!!

Will be here for you going forward.

I really have to get my brain working now, with learning how to write essays and other uni work...

Will my brain cope with it all?! I don't know...

I've got headache.

You'll be ok.

Scroll back, I gave you the name of an awesome resource book a few days ago but I don't think you saw it? I think it's called Strategies For Student Writers by Pam Peters. It helped me heaps.

It's an exciting time.

Relax now though, you've been anticipating this and been tense.

Have a hot bath or shower and try to relax for the evening.

I did write down the book, will definitely look for it now 🙂

I'm in bed watching netflix, while it rains outside. Buddy's in his leg tent snoring away toasty warm as well.

Just waiting for the headache to go, before I'm up early in the morning to deal with centrelink (YUCK!!)

Oh crap!!!

Went to my centrelink assessment and did a bit of shopping, felt “OK” even after minimal sleep, so I drove, and anxiety was low-ish, so yay me.

UNTIL...

I was outside with Buddy (after getting home) and realised only then that I forgot to get my prescription repeat!! D'oh!!

I guess I'm skipping tonight's dose and going for a walk tomorrow to get it.

Yeah, I'm so not convinced I can do uni...
