    I’m getting a grade back for my first piece of coursework of third year on Monday. I’m so scared I’ve failed or done badly, I can’t stop thinking about it already and I’ve still got to wait three days
    The steps you take don’t need to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction.

    I'm confused partly. Everyone tells me to be grateful for being adopted but if your adoptive parents emotionally abuse you and used to physically abuse you how can you feel grateful? It's like I have no worht, like they don't really care. And my social worker doesn't give a damn.

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.

    I don't know why I find it so hard to admit when things are going down hill. Had my friend not called me I'm certain that I would have SH or ended up in A&E. I'm just at the point there I think, what else can be done? I'm here in this bad mental state, the are people worse off, idek what to do appart from feeling stranded.

    Putting a TW on this just in case
    Feeling pretty self destructive tonight. Just been under so much stress lately. I’ve had a few drinks too. I know I should go to bed and take care of myself but part of me doesn’t want to

    Hi @Shaunie

    That's okay. Please try not to worry. Though, it is lovely how many people have messaged, isn't it? It truly shows how many people care about you. I also care about you.

    How are you at the moment?

    Things have gone downhill so quickly and I don’t know what to do. Think I’m going to have to call somewhere for support today :(

    I didn't get the job and now my mental health has kind of plummeted and I'm just not coping very well, it was an entry level job and it was something I was so passionate about, it's just made me feel so deflated and disappointed.
  • Laura_tigger82Laura_tigger82 Moderator Posts: 5,086 Part of The Furniture
    Hi @Brookee

    I am really sorry to hear it wasn't a perfect fit this time with the job. Did they inform you why you did not get the job? Knowing this could help you to work on it for next time.

    Though you could have been a very good fit and someone else may just have had an extra point or two. Keep trying, you will soon find something for yourself! Passion is really important <3

    Hey @Laura_tigger82 Thank you, that's so kind of you <3. No they didn't, they just said they were impressed with my interview but that was all. It just made me feel like a failure and triggered something in my brain, I'm slowly working through it though :) I appreciate your lovely support and kind words, thank you so much <3
  • Laura_tigger82Laura_tigger82 Moderator Posts: 5,086 Part of The Furniture
    Hi @Brookee

    Amazing! It sounds like you not only smashed your application but also your interview.

    It sounds like it was a tough decision to make as it would have been a close tie between you and the other people.

    Rejections are difficult. If you would like to talk this through, please feel free to do so. Though, I like the phrase that rejection is just a re-direction!

    Keep going and hopefully, you will get the next post :)

    Just got to take deep breaths and remember everything is okay
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.
