    Had a moment of panic after challenging myself today and instead of allowing myself to spiral into self pity, I reminded myself why it was important to take myself out the comfort zone.

    Have literally had the worst day. Felt awful all day, then the dog managed to get out of the garden (massive panic, thankfully we found him) and now my laptop is making group chat not work. Could any more go wrong in one day

    Have you worked out what grades you need to average with to what you want?

    @Salix_alba_2019 yeah with the unis safety net scheme they put in place because of COVID, as long as you pass your exams from May you’ll at least get an average of your marks from before coronavirus started affecting uni, if that makes sense. Because I had an average of 75 before corona if I pass my exams the lowest mark I can get is 75. Which is obviously good and I’m glad the uni put that scheme in place but I’m still worried I’ve failed as I found it really hard sitting the exams at home

    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    @Dandelion holy smokes, you're a bright one!

    That's a fantastic place to be at, I'm so so proud of you!!! If you did that well before I'm almost certain that you'll pass your exams.

    How come you found it tough sitting your exams at home?

    @Shaunie sounds really stupid but have you tried powering it off then back on again when my phone does that it sometimes helps it

    Thanks, it was just so different sitting them at home, I found it harder to focus, and my anxiety was not at a great place then which didn’t really help

    @Shaunie it may be that your phone network is down ! Mine did this a awhile back when my network was down
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    I had issues with my phone network when they were sorting the update to put the trace and track on phones

    @Shaunie have you a landline? If so maybe give apple support/your network a ring. My phone did that once a few years back and it was an issue with the little receiver thing in my phone and I ended up having it replaced.

    What does network mean. My phone or the sim ? My sim works in my dads phone so it must be my phone. I cant afford a new phone 😢
