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...

Great...
It's 6:40pm and I'm starting to feel guilty and lazy for being in bed watching TV and not doing uni work...

Dear MF,
It's Saturday night!
Relax.
You should not be doing uni work on the first Saturday night of semester.
So please ENJOY your TV and put off everything until tomorrow (and please don't overdo it tomorrow)
It's all about B A L A N C E

Thanks Birdy...there you go talking sense again!! 🙂
I finally woke up without a sore neck and headache this morning - Buddy let me sleep in until 8am. It's 9:15 now, so had a lazy morning...trying to decide if it's worthwhile investing in a proper office chair for study...thinking yes, but it will have to wait a little.

I am just catching up with reading your thread and am glad you are at uni.
By icebreakers do you mean activity to help people talk about themselves or do you mean something else.
A lazy morning is well deserved, you should enjoy it.

Yes Quirky, that's what I mean by icebreakers, a group of people getting to know each other etc.
My walk to get vegies was nice, the sun was out and only windy occasionally. I needed it. My fridge is full-ish like both of my freezers, it's a nice feeling. I'm also looking forward to roast pork tonight. Yuuuummm...
I'm tempted to turn off the laptop and start early tomorrow on the uni work, but I'm not sure I should, really

Vegies bought/walk done, ice breaker activity finished, roast on, now shower and bed to watch TV.
Making myself take it easy since it's Sunday...it's kind of hard - there's so much I could be doing!
Oh well, up at 7am tomorrow...

I just remembered now that I bought globes for my himalayan salt lamps. I might be imagining it, but they make me feel kind of calm.
I wonder if there's a crystal for increasing intelligence and retaining information? I need that!

This is laughable...I'm frustrated and have to get it out of my head.
So...where I'm meant to post the icebreaker activity, I can't access, it isn't open or whatever. I'm logged in and everything. The work group forums aren't open either. So I'm paying money/getting in debt for stuff that doesn't work - ugh! Am I wrong in thinking it should all be accessible on the first day of semester?!
Anyway, I'm moving on to the next thing...this isn't my problem, I posted, albeit in the wrong spot most likely. I will go back to the reading and quiz later. I have ZERO IDEA about how to go about answering this brain development stuff due by Friday...

Hello MF,
The uni website may have been inundated this morning as it's first day of semester. Maybe check later to see if your post went to the right spot.
Once you do your readings for the brain development topic you will be able to answer the questions due on Friday. They are not trying to trick you. I think you will feel mire confident once you've done some readings. Don't forget to take notes as you go that you think might help to answer the questions.
Remember to have breaks and take yourself outside for fresh air regularly.
You're doing it!!

Today was going just above mediocre until I tried to do washing. Washing machine died, it's been on it's last legs for a while, but just had to die today, mid cycle...
I cried, kicked it and cleaned my laundry ready for a delivery of a new one. I just have to find one and figure out how ill
