New here. Dottie 😊

Hi,

I'm new here 😊 Little about myself is that I'm studying full-time at uni and working part-time.

Struggling...been on a roller coaster ride of emotions but mostly feeling down. Mornings have been the hardest.

And I feel lonely. I have friends and family, but for various reasons, I don't confide in most of them.

On the outside, I act like I'm coping. Inside, it just hurts.

Motivation has been a struggle lately. Have to force myself to do my uni work when all I want to do is cry.

My uni friends seem to have this impression that I'm always motivated and seem to cope. But they don't see what goes on in my head or behind closed doors. It's not that I'm always motivated and coping, but it's just that I FORCE myself to do what I need to do.

I just feel drained at the moment. And teary.

Thanks for reading.

Hi dark_unicorn,

It's nice to hear from you again. Yeah, I agree it can be tough to find the drive to do school (or uni in my case ha, ha) assessments so I can definitely relate to what you're saying.

It's tough: super in advance and maybe the motivation isn't there. But when it's the night before, the motivation may have recovered but the workload has become overwhelming.

Hopefully you finished your school work this morning 😊

Hi Dottie123,

Glad I'm not the only one like this 🙂 and yes I did, which was pretty good considering how much I had!
