Im finding everything so overwhelming right now
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 19.01.26
@Amy22 I completely get that. Even though your hours aren’t the same as full-time work, being an intern can still be very draining. You’re constantly learning, trying to do things right and might be putting extra pressure on yourself to prove you’re capable.It might help to notice whether the tiredness feels more mental or physical and there is nothing wrong with resting and taking breaks to look after yourself. It is more than okay to take things slowly and not have everything figured out right now.

@eylah Thank you very much for sharing, it means a lot and is very thoughtful of you. I am so glad you have found a helpline that has been a positive experience for you.
crying.
I am so sorry. If you wish to talk about what’s hurting, I’m here to listen.
But if you would prefer not to or don’t have the words yet, that’s completely okay too. You’re not alone in this and I know there are brighter days ahead.

@Nemuritai I am really sorry to hear that you are having a difficult day,
I want you to know that what even though things go wrong sometimes, it doesn’t mean it’s your fault and it definitely doesn’t mean you’re failing because you are human and trying so hard. That matters more than you may realise, even if it is not always seen or acknowledged.
It really hurts to feel blamed and misunderstood by the people who are supposed to support you the most. That kind of pressure can make anyone start doubting themselves. I hate that you’ve been carrying that around on your own because you shouldn’t have to.
You are already more than enough, exactly as you are, and you never have to earn your right to be cared about. You deserve kindness, patience, and understanding simply for being you and you deserve the freedom to be imperfect just like everyone else.
You’re such a lovely supportive and kind person and you deserve the very best. I am here for you.

@so_very_tired I’m really glad the conflict is over and that you’re not in much pain right now. That’s a relief to hear though I am still very sorry to hear that happened to you. If anything feels off later, it might be worth keeping an eye on it and getting it checked if anything changes just in case. I’m here if you need someone to lend an ear.

so sry to hear that you’re feeling exhausted all the time amy. is there anything you can do to yourself that is simple but kind? bc you deserve to be kind to yourself etc.
don’t feel like you have to do everything all at once bc you don’t have to. it’s ok to take things one day at a time. <3
