Re: Change Management Session
How do I access the chat? I've been refreshing chatwee for the past ten minutes. Or is just on right now?
Checked my emails, chat is on later. I am so stupid.
Re: Change Management Session
@so_very_tired i think they delayed it by 15 minutes, so it should be on in a few minutes

I do this too, you're allowed to vent about as much as you want so don't feel like you need to stop complaining

Thank you @Ech0 I always appreciate you, I'm sure everyone else does, replying to everyone ❤️
( cw: sexual assault ) realised i've technically been sa'd
i opened up to my therapist about past sexual abuse yesterday, including a lot of sexual harassment and possible grooming, and i'm really struggling to come to terms with the fact that i've also technically been assaulted. it happened when i was 10 i think, and i was hanging out with two of my friends on the street outside one of their houses, then suddenly one of them tried to put her mouth on my breast. i don't have a great memory especially since it was 11 years ago now, so i can't remember if she did successfully touch me there or not nor what led up to it, i just know that she tried to. there was another time when i was 10 and at a different friend's sleepover and her little brother slapped my butt, and i was scared to go to sleep that night because i thought he might sneak into the room and do something to me, but thankfully he didn't.
i feel ridiculous for feeling as bad as i do about remembering these things and keep doubting if they even count as sa, because they didn't involve penetration or touching between the legs, even though i know that if literally anyone else said they experienced these things i would agree that it definitely was sa. i'm also just struggling to really process that this happened to me, it's all i can think about right now. it is at least helping me realise why i'm so afraid of consensual intimacy now.

TW Mentions of self harm, suicidal thoughts & ED - Struggling with mental health and university
Hello everyone, this is my first post here so please forgive me if there’s anything wrong with the post :)
Im a third year university student with severe OCD, depression and anxiety. I am severely struggling and am overwhelmed with the course and my mental health. I am so burnt out to the point where I can’t leave my bed for days on end and I can’t get any work done.
I hate my projects and am so behind/ stuck on all my work since my course tutors are horrible and keep telling me to change my projects last minute, even though they know my situation and that I’m incapable of the workload they give. They have no compassion towards what I’m struggling with, which is understandable since I know everybody has their own problems and things to deal with.
But I now have no motivation anymore. Pausing my studies is absolutely not an option for me since I’m so close to finishing in June and graduating in July and it would be a waste of money and time. I’m physically counting down the days until uni ends but it feels endless.
In my second year, I was the complete opposite to how I am now, I had straight As, a top student, great mental health and was overall incredibly happy. I usually try to have a positive outlook on things but now it’s completely gone. I now keep comparing myself to others and myself last year which is making me feel so disappointed and hopeless.
I can feel myself falling back into the same mental place as when I was a few years ago when I was self harming, suicidal, severely depressed and had an eating disorder. My OCD is becoming incredibly unbearable due to ruminating and constant overthinking.
I have no friends at uni or back at home due to bullying, I’m completely alone here and go days without physically speaking to someone. I’m almost 4 hours away from home and I do call my mum everyday since she’s the only one who understands, but this makes me feel like such a burden since my family is going through some really tough times. I really want to go home but can’t due to my course being very practical and ‘in person oriented’.
I’ve spoken to my GP and they prescribed light medication but it isn’t really helping. I’m currently on the waitlist for CBT but it will take months. I also speak to the unis mental health service but there’s not much they can do since they also have a long waitlist. I call samaritans and text shout everyday since being alone with my thoughts for too long is genuinely terrifying.
But I feel no progress, i’m completely hopeless, i can’t eat or sleep properly anymore due to panicking about the workload. I’m so afraid of my thoughts and I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m now starting to get afraid of myself.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I just wanted to vent since I’ve been keeping it in my head for months and I can feel I’m reaching breaking point. :(
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 26.01.26
I went for a drink with some people as chat wasn't on but had to come back as I have to be up really early tomorrow, thats where my routine has to be changed which is a downside.
