So it's my second week of my induction of my supported internship and I will be honest I did feel very tired yesterday. Also there's opportunities for me to be part of a the youth group omy inter ship and stuff. I mentioned it to my parents but I think they were worried about me getting burnt out and stuff. But I want to do things. I am learning coping strategies for it as well. I did get upset last night talking to them because I did realised I'm not as independent as I think I am or want to be. I hardly get up without my mum calling for me and doing breakfast. But today I literally forced myself to get up, do breakfast and tea, coffee for me, mum and dad. I feel like I'm so lazy and I don't do anything at all.

It's a whole new routine for me right now, new people, new workplace etc. Bur my tutor is great and supportive.

Sorry for my stupid rant I rarely rant on here.

@Amy22 sorry i'm a bit late responding to you. Nothing you said is stupid. Your entitled to vent and rant like everybody else is. You sound like your making enormous lifestyle changes right now, and i wanted to say that this is something you should be incredibly proud of. You've looked at your lack of independence and reliance on your parents, and you're taking active steps to get out of that cycle and into a more independent and positive lifestyle. That isn't easy at first, but once it becomes routine, it becomes a lot easier to do daily. And it takes a lot of courage to start to try and escape that safe and comfortable dependency.

You are right to be concerned about burnout. It's incredibly important to watch out for, so it's also vital that anything you do, you leave yourself enough time to be able to relax, chill out, and take a break at the end of every day. Giving yourself enough time for this is a must in the long term. You are doing a lot, and if you feel able to, and can guarantee you'll have a few hours a day of personal time still, then i think it's worth going for if your comfortable trying out those opportunities. And if it ever started to get to much, then you could look at maybe stepping back a bit.

That feeling of laziness is going to get better, the more your lifestyle changes for the better. We are all proud of the effort your putting in and the changes your making to your life. You should be too.
