@DonnerKebab thats so so fustrating, Im really sorry they did that, it's not ideal at all and cancelling last minute but hopefully it goes well when its rescheduled.
you might feel like ripping it up in this moment but when you start to feel more positive you may regret ripping it up. so maybe until youre feeling more positive maybe putting it away til you feel much better.
my favourite twat im so sry to hear this. i dont know how you must be feeling but everything youre feeling rn is understandable. im here for you and i hear you and i am listening to you. i hope when its rescheduled that it goes well. im here for you
Ive not done it but it is only a participation certificate and everyone got one. It doesn't equal to any qualification or anything like my functional skills one technicalky it does its a qualification, I wouldn't rip but this just a petty certificate so not going to help me plus it doesn't affect anyone else if I did rip it. Im ok now though just was worked up earlier, I appreciate you.
it may not ‘mean anything’ in the long run but you’ve participated and that is an important contribution towards to getting a job. you’re doing so well and im so proud of you.
hey thankyou for checking in with me. im having an very difficult evening. tmr is 1 year without my mum so im not doing gd. thankyou for caring abt me though
But at the same time, it almost sounds as though your punishing yourself with huge workloads and unrealistic standards for yourself. Too much work, even if you do love it, will lead to burnout, and given your still recovering from what i assume must have been burnout from year 11, it's important not to push yourself to the point of more burnout or a breakdown. Being kind to yourself starts will not expecting the world from yourself, and setting realistic expectations. That's not to say stop trying, or stop pushing yourself, but doing it in a way that is sustainable.
@Redemption i'm doing fine now. I was a little annoyed earlier, but these things happen. They'll reschedule it and it'll be business as usual when they do.
@eylah that really means the world to me. I'm doing alright with it now, just a little annoyed about it at the time.
@Redemption as i said in chat, and i just wanted to say it again here, that certificate is proof you tried, and that you achieved something. That you worked towards something. keep hold of it, because it's proof that your a person who tries, and that is a damn lot more than a lot of people who don't even bother at times.
@DonnerKebab yh it happens unfortunately but yh you'll be back in business and hopefully a positive outcome, some people might have just given up been like "fuck it" so its great you're still going with it.
@DonnerKebab that's true, I'm ok now I'll just leave it like what you're saying is true.
I am so sorry that you are struggling right now, I am here for you.
I am also sorry that you are currently feeling sick, that is not a nice way to feel.
I am here if you would like to talk through some things some more.
@Animalloverb thank you as always. I think Sunday evening / night and yesterday was overwhelming too. This morning was a bit too but I think I just felt sick which was just morning sickness, I think its common.
Sorry that the past few days have felt overwhelming for you, but you are doing amazing. I really hope you feel better soon, it really must be awful even if it is a regular thing for you.
It's okay to feel that way, but you don't have problems with everyone even if it seems like you do. Of anything it is them who have a problem, they don't understand you which then makes you feel like you are the problem but trust me your not.
If I don't reply that quickly later on, it is because I will be at court.
