@Amy22 I completely get that. Even though your hours aren’t the same as full-time work, being an intern can still be very draining. You’re constantly learning, trying to do things right and might be putting extra pressure on yourself to prove you’re capable.It might help to notice whether the tiredness feels more mental or physical and there is nothing wrong with resting and taking breaks to look after yourself. It is more than okay to take things slowly and not have everything figured out right now.
@so_very_tired I’m really glad the conflict is over and that you’re not in much pain right now. That’s a relief to hear though I am still very sorry to hear that happened to you. If anything feels off later, it might be worth keeping an eye on it and getting it checked if anything changes just in case. I’m here if you need someone to lend an ear.
Im finding everything so overwhelming right now
Everything's just tough
Hey @Redemption, sorry to hear that things are tough for you lately. What's going on? We're here to listen to you
I had a call yesterday about a complaint about stuff and just had a lot on this week if you see my previous comments on this thread @Azziman , thank you for responding to me.
Hey @Ech0 - I didn't get to respond to this yesterday but I wanted to say thank you for the very thoughtful message, it honestly meant the world reading that and made me kind of teary (in a good way). I really appreciate the support.
I hope you're doing okay today and make sure to take care of yourself as well, you deserve it always 🩷
Im just doing a lot of thinking
Thank you for such lovely peer-support here folks!
Thank you so much. Also sorry for the late reply just been super busy at the moment and also resting and stuff from a busy slow week. I think sometimes I honestly feel like I do put too much pressure on myself and I guess that stems from wanting to become fully independent. Though there are times I will have to remind myself I do still need support from time to time.
The internship I'm on is designed for neurodivergent young adults get into full time employment. It's part of both a collage and a company that partnered with the programme. I often being neurodivergent sometimes puts a limit on what I could potentially do in the long run with my career prospects. I'm currently in the marketing department and I enjoy it there very much. Its just I find sometimes full time work is a lot of commitment I guess.
This week has been kinda tough but not too bad, hopefully tomorrow is a bit better and next week
Morning <3

Today was overwhelming again
I'm sorry to hear today was hard @Redemption <3 I'm always here if you'd like to talk about anything and sending hugs 🫂
@Nemuritai thank you, ive just had tech issues with my clocking system on the app again, phone giving me a nightmare then just a complaint at work a few days ago , the early starts being overwhelming, its all been tough but I have been worse. I hope you're ok, I really appreciate you.
College tommorow. Originally I wasn't going to go in because I can't do another day do absolutly nothing related to my internship, but tommorow I will be talking to someone in the course about me taking an extra day at Asda. My decision depends if it will affect when I will get paid, if my pay isn't infulunced I might just put it back as much as possible.
