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...

I've been trying to install and set up endnote for the last THREE HOURS!!

This is my third time installing (trying an older version this time - hopefully the instructions link up to it!!)

So over it all...

On a positive note, I got a comment from my lecturer about one of my brain development questions, "I show an understanding etc.". She picked up on the language I used and my referencing errors, but I'm happy enough 🙂

IT'S NOT WORKING!!!

Hi MF,

Maybe leave the EndNote thing for now, try it again when you're under less pressure.

They will not usually penalise you for incorrect referencing for first year subjects.

Just focus on your content, and do the best you can with referencing. Content is more important.

I'm giving it one last shot using the link that was given to me by the person on the help chat...we'll see.

I think I should have shut up shop because I think I've just done an assessed quiz for the group work subject instead of the practice one - has not been a good day!! Here's hoping I got at least one question right!!

Yeah, not too worried about referencing right now, that'll come with the next assignment

I think some smarty pants went in and tweaked the EndNote stuff...it worked without as much as a pause this time.

Maybe someone finally listened to me!!

I recorded lectures today and only got through 3 out of 4, the 4th one is text and videos rather than a powerpoint presentation type one. I just ended up with a headache...

Had a look at endnote - I can't even figure out how to use it...

Going to get up and working early tomorrow to try and make up some time...I feel like a failure who's slowly drowning...

I feel like crying

On a positive note, I got Halestorm's album today. Going to put it on my phone and burn a CD

Or I would if the download link would work...what a great way to end the day and week 😞

I'm in bed crying and I can't seem to stop. I'm trying to watch some Better Call Saul episodes, but I can't say I'm paying much attention to it.

I guess it doesn't really matter about Halestorm's album, it's not like I've got anyone to be excited about it with or talk about it with...it just me, pretty much always has been and probably always will be. I mean I'm nearly 40, it's not like I'm going to make any friends now 😞

I've got an appointment with my psychologist on the 7th and I don't even know what to say to her...I should at least be happy I got a uni offer!

Hi MF

Im sorry that you crying in bed...and I hope that you can realise what a super legend you are with your offer at uni and for being proactive with your health by seeing your counselor too 🙂

I still see my psychologist too MF yet the appointments can be too far apart sometimes for me. At the risk of asking a dumb question.......do you have a GP that you can talk too during the gaps inbetween seeing your psychologist? I still see my GP every 4 weeks for a fine tune

Great to have you as part of the forum family MF 🙂

my kind thoughts for you

Paul
