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'm not so sure...
I've lost some notes for one assignment and a section is missing out of another. Plus my printer has decided not to print.
I could cry...and probably should

Printers printinng, so I think it's the ink (yes there is some, it's just printing like there's none).
Back in bed at 3pm, feeling like I could sleep for a month...I'm so going to pay for this when it comes to getting work done.
Trying to not feel like a useless waste of oxygen 😞

Hooray...I think I've FINALLY clawed my way in front by a day or so with uni work, instead of clawing to keep up.
Now I'm in bed yawning at 2:30pm...
I've got to go to the uni tomorrow for my group work team meet up, but I'm going to bus it so that I can read the Robbie Williams book I bought back in May (to reward myself for getting a uni offer) and have barely made a dent in!

Hello CM..
You doing what you thought was going to be too hard for you to do, plus your ahead of time as well....so a very big well done and congratulations..I'm so proud of you...
I wish I was in bed..but my mhn decided to ring and tell me she will be coming around mine for a visit, as soon as she has gone I'm heading back to my bed as well....it's okay to be in bed...
Bussing is good, I haven't been in a bus for many years...there are no buses out my way. But I do remember how bumpity they were.. Is the book an autobiography of Robin Williams life? ..He is one of my favourite actors,,I really enjoyed him in patch Adams..he was a brilliant and very special man...
Love and hugs..
Grandy..

Thanks for saying you're proud of me, it made me smile.
I loved Robin Williams too, was devastated when I heard he died. Same with Heath Ledger.
But my book is a Robbie Williams biography, the singer 🙂
I still haven't got my head around the uni referencing, but I'm only three weeks in...maybe it'll sink in one day.

Hello MF...
ooops Im sorry, my bad not reading/listening properly...I know Robbie Williams..that should be an interesting book..
Ive read a few autobiographies..Eric Clapton, Elizabeth Taylor..Maralyn Munro, it's interesting to learn how others live.
I hope you work out the uni referencing..I'm totally lost when it comes to uni and really don't know any tiny thing about uni.....Maybe Tim knows about referencing no can help you...
Good luck MF, I hope you sleep well and tomorrow your bussing and uni goes good for you..

On references...
If you do a google search for
Uni SA Harvard referencing
There are two pages in the results to look at.
The first is a link to the Harvard referencing guide UniSA. This is a pdf document.
The other link is to a page on usq on how to ace your assignment. It is in their social hub area.
All you need to remember when it comes to referencing is that different types of media have different bits of information to include. I can go into a little more detail if you want.

Yes please Tim, whenever you're able to 🙂 Thank you for offering to help!
I'm sure one day it will sink in to my befuddled brain, but right now...hell no!
I've got the pdf from UniSA but find that tricky to follow, but I'll definitely check out the other one. UniSA also have a roadmap page I want to look at when I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed. I nearly fell asleep on both buses today, so my eyes are far from bright.
It's all on my weekly to do list as of now

I'm finding it hard to stay focused for two hours of uni work just lately...been thinking about quitting again...
I'm worried about how much harder things will get. I'm not coping that great now.
I've planned out what needs doing over the next couple of days, I hope I can get it all done along with the planned housework. I know I should do some today/tonight, but if I get out of bed, I cry.
I really need to get myself together. I can't be like this

Hi MF
I remember those feelings!! Welcome to uni study!!
It's so hard, I know and totally understand.
It's a rigorous and intense thing to do. Not everyone wants to endure it. But if you do, you really have to nut it out!
I believe you can do it.
But it's not going to be an easy ride.
I think you're tough enough.
