    My neighbour who I have known for my whole life (and she is like a nan to me) has terminal pancreatic cancer and only has a matter of days to live. She is very ill and doesn't look recognisable at all. 😭 She's gone all the way from a mild cough to being possibly just days or even hours from dying (maybe a month at the very most.) I love you nana and I don't want to lose you.

    She isn't actually my nan before you get confused but she is like a nan to me.

    Hit a creative block with my uni coursework and I have no motivation to complete it, nor do I have the motivation to live my life. Yay.

    It’s not easy to find motivation sometimes @lovemimoon that’s something I have a lot of experience with. You are not alone. Sending hugs <3

    Been struggling the past few days. Really anxious and tired. Trying my best to stay occupied but it's still looming over me. Hopefully it will subside soon, it's not fun.

    Sending big hugs @Supernova anxiety is a horrible feeling and it feels like you can’t escape it sometimes. Keep talking about it, and don’t be afraid to go to your GP if it keeps going on <3

    Thank you @Dandelion it’s not what I applied for. I applied for 40 hours. But it’s something. But I did “pass” said have to get 18 out of 30 to pass. But the competition was hard. But before the interview they said oh we really do want to work with your and no matter what will give you extra hours. They said ideally full time but if don’t get enough points I will get 20. So that’s nice.

    Have you had your interview for supervisor?

    Now you mention this @Shaunie I’ve just seen 2 of someone else online so it definitely isn’t just you! Maybe could put a thread in the help desk about it :)

    @Dandelion

    @Shaunie 20 hours is still a great next step and you can always get extra overtime if you wanted to. It’s great that you passed the first time I applied for supervisor it was the same I just didn’t get enough points.

    I had my supervisor interview 2 weeks ago and I got the job, I started it on Saturday, it’s only 6 hours but tbh that’s enough for me. It’s quite stressful but I’m still really enjoying it.

    My sleep pattern is so messed up at the moment

    I'm fine with mine, as long as I can sleep before it gets light I'm happy, might be my unemployedness talking though

    Doing too much overtime I think. Feel like it’s hitting me. Feel like a robot who is not even appreciated. Feel like have no purpose and like what’s the point. Everything is affecting me more than it should but at the same time I feel like I’m not feeling much. Cant even explain it. Never felt this sort
