Re: thoughts after depressive ssri crashout
That's the last thing you need and deserve, I can imagine it will only make things harder for you. Thanks for sharing your experiencre @PetiteQuark This moment you had where you reacted from feelingn unstable does not define you and I'm sure most people would understand this, when you say you are scared they might do 'other things' what do you mean by that?

Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 12.01.26
@Nemuritai That sounds exhausting, even though your mental health has been more stable lately, being constantly worn out takes a toll, especially when you’re working outside in tough conditions like snow. Just getting through a day like that takes a lot of effort and the fact that you showed up and got the work done really matters. It sounds like the working conditions weren’t normal or within your control, doing your best in these circumstances doesn't make you a bad employee. It sounds like you really care about doing things properly.
I wonder if holding yourself to a high standard of even working outside in the snow could be causing you this washed out feeling? Would you say it’s more physical or mental feeling of being washed out, if not both?

@Nemuritai I hope it went okay today. I hear you, it sounds like you were dealing with a lot yesterday, and I completely understand feeling washed out and drained. The fact that you still got the work done, even if it wasn’t perfect, is very impressive and is a testament to your dedication because snowy conditions make everything much more difficult. You’re doing your best and it’s more than okay to give yourself credit for that because I am sure you aren’t a bad employee at all and the effort you are putting in matters.

@so_very_tired you dont need to stop complaining, I definitely get you, like you aren't getting paid, I know it can lead to that as you've said but we deserve to get paid for our work so its understandable completely how you feel, I did volunteering at a charity shop and felt similar. Anyway you're doing a great job.
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 12.01.26
I had a bit of a rough day. My mental health has been more stable lately, it's just that I'm really washed out all the time. Work was also pretty hard today because of the snow, which makes it difficult working outside, but I got it done. I feel guilty since I can't be as thorough as usual with the conditions and worried that I'm being a bad employee, even though I'm aware it's partly just me overthinking things.
Im sorry you have had a rough day but we're all here to talk anything through if you need and I'm sure you aren't a bad employee. I hope you have a good sleep an a better day tomorrow.
Re: what its like doing level 3 business at college
@toffuna101 Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds really intense, especially being thrown straight into coursework and real exams so early on. It makes sense that it feels unfair compared to A-levels, due to the exam timeline being different and you have to sit exams much earlier. Having January exams in the first year is a lot, especially when you’re still adjusting to college-level work, so I understand that it feels stressful and overwhelming.
The work experience requirement also sounds challenging. Securing business-related placements while under 18 can be quite difficult as you said, so it’s reassuring that your college is providing support to help you with this. Doing your work experience at an estate agent sounds like an excellent option and it is really thoughtful of you to share to help other business students who might not know where to start.
I hope you’re doing okay with everything and that your finance exam goes well.
