    Hi @Zay

    Yeah, I do get you. You have a really strong friendship with him. I am really sorry to hear the doctors did not give him enough support. He needs and deserves support. Is it common with the GP he visited? Would a different GP be more helpful? I often find some GP's are better at some things than other GP's. Keep trying to take one step and day at a time. I hope he will feel better soon :)

    I do get you @Zay, yes. He deserves a GP who will listen to him and support him. I hope he finds a better GP. Patience with himself is also super important! :)

    Just realised I've done part of an assignment wrong and will probably end up spending the next couple of days fixing it, I guess I should be thankful I realised before I submitted it
    The steps you take don’t need to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction.

    @Dandelion - Hey! I am really sorry to hear that. It must be really frustrating. I am glad you realised before you submitted it as it gives you time to make your work even better. Is it something you can comfortably fix? Here if you need a listening ear or if we can help in any other way :)

    Aghh my housemate keeps coming and talking to me about what she's putting into her assignment, I've already finished mine and I've told her a million times I don't like to talk about it, because this one was so challenging and once it was done I was actually happy with it. But the more she talks about it the more I think I've done it completely wrong and am going to do really badly on it. I've told her this so many times, but she just keeps coming over anyway, it's really getting on my nerves now.
    The steps you take don’t need to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction.

    Hey @Dandelion,

    That seems really frustrating for you. I’m really sorry to hear this. Is there anyway you can set your boundaries with her around this? You and your mental health are what’s a priority here. Also, I’m sure your assignment is good, I know it can be difficult not to pick it apart when someone’s done something different to yours, but it certainly doesn’t mean that your opinions or viewpoints within your assignment are wrong. I think it would be super helpful to put those boundaries in place with her if this is something you feel comfortable doing, because you deserve to feel comfortable and not feel stressed about an assignment you’ve put a lot of effort and time into <3

    Hey @Dandelion

    I am really sorry to hear you are struggling with this. You have every right to set and keep boundaries. Do you know why your friend keeps talking to you about it? Is it because she is worried about it? If so, she might benefit from Student Space. I have copied and pasted the link below in a spoiler. I hope this helps but if you need to talk to us more about this please feel free to. Please note, I think you will do amazing in your assignment but if not you have tried really hard and that is what matters the most <3

    Poor sleep schedule and a lack of interest in the usual distractions make up the perfect storm for feeling down. Can't sleep 2am blues. :s

    Hey @Supernova

    Thanks for reaching out to us. I always appreciate how much courage it must take to reach out. I am sorry to hear you are struggling to sleep and are not feeling as interested in the usual distractions. Would you like to talk about what normally helps you? I hope you managed to get the sleep you need and deserve in the end! :3

    I'm okay thanks @Laura_tigger82

    I suppose writing this post was more of a way to pass the time than anything else. And I guess to articulate why early mornings tend to be the times when I feel the lowest or most on edge.

    I really hate cold callers. Got woken up by a private number calling and leaving me a minute long voicemail of silence. Makes me anxious and ruins it for anyone genuine because now I've blocked all private numbers until I'm expecting a call from someone. :p

    Hey @Supernova

    Oh no, how frustrating! I am not sure I would feel happy being woken up either. Glad you have found a strategy for managing this so it, hopefully, doesn't happen again. Hope you managed to go back to sleep and get the sleep you need and deserve :3

    Don't really have it in me to write an articulate post at the moment. I keep looking at the places / sites I use to talk to people but always land on thinking "what is the fucking point." I've been low sure, but mostly I'm just pissed off and agitated. I know if I try to write anything out long form it'll just be a load of nonsense.

    Already this morning I have accidentally called the emergency services by dropping my phone, and stepped on the pointy side of a plug..it’s going to be one of those days isn’t it?

    @Supernova - Thanks for your response. I am really sorry to hear you are struggling at the moment. Please take your time. We will all be here for you when you are ready. Though it is also important to note, that it doesn't have to be articulate, just words on a page are perfectly ok if that's all you feel ready for at the moment! <3

    @independent_ Oh no! Sorry to hear you are having a difficult morning. It sounds painful stepping on a plug. I hope the rest of your day is better <3

    Sending you both hugs! <3

    How is it going so far @Shaunie Hopefully you won't be put back on to medical suspension from work because I know that's something that you really do not want.

    My phone bill is going up by nearly 9% by my calculations because of inflation apparently. It pisses me off that the government will only put benefits up by 2 or 3% when most other things are going up by much more.
