How to keep pushing yourself...

Former Member

I feel seriously crap, I was litrally dragging myself home today. I'm in a lot of pain but I need to keep going because I'm on my own until at least friday and theres a big thing happening at college tomorrow (Illamasqua are coming in!!). I need to do a lot of work for tomorrow, but I'm really struggling to keep my head above water. I'm pushing and pushing I don't feel like I'm achieving anything and I feel like I'm either being over dramatic or theres really something wrong with me. I keep feeling faint and as soon as I sit down I want to fall asleep (on the bus, in class, in front of the TV). I've spoken to the dr and he just wrote it on my note and shipped them of to the specialist (hoping that they'll take me on).

I need to keep going because I can't take time out because theres no one that can look after me (at least at the moment). I don't really know what to do, maybe I'm just having a really bad day

Hey Miss_Riot :wave:

Sounds like today has been a toughie for you.

It isn't nice when things are piling up and your feeling bogged down, especially as it seems like your doctor isn't coming across as particularly understanding.

Have you heard anything back from the doctors referral as of yet?

I know you said you need to keep going, but it is important to step back from the situation and take sometime for yourself, even if its putting the work aside for one night and just chilling.

Keep us posted on how things get on and good luck for tomorrow!

He's doing his best, I had to go back and he prodded me some more and I had to fill out a pain score questionaire, so now its just a waiting game.

I'm finding it impossible to chill out at home because theres so many things to do, I've got no space thats warm and comfortable and quiet and sorted, but I can't get my head around sorting it!

I'm going to try my best to get stuff sorted, I hate doing my learning journal this late in the day. It ends up looking so rushed and unprofessional but I don't know what else I can do...

Do it with a friend, whatever it is. When studying I look for a friend who has to study too and we do it together in the uni library. I don't do sports alone either.

I'm talking about life in general, i.e. getting life done, rather than sitting in a corner and crying. I've already tried that StrubbleS, but we're all scattered across the county and no one seems to have any time (theres only 10 of us in the class anyway, and one lives 3 counties away)...
