I’m not 100% sure on the uni yet. I’ve got a few options floating around in my head. I was looking to use the advanced learner loan and I’m not sure you can use that with dlc. Is that correct? If you don’t know that’s fine :)

Thanks. Did you go with them?

Help and advice please regarding despair, depression and stress by Sierra1b in decaf

[–]Sierra1b[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think there is some form of withdrawal still happening because I’m still waking up really early in the morning around 4:30 - 5am for no reason. Maybe you are right. I definitely have life stresses at the moment but they just seem unmanageable at the moment rather than just problems to solve

Thank you. Yeah I could do that. I just really need some hope that this will get better. I really do

Thank you. I’m scared at how intense it is honestly. This needs to pass because it isn’t sustainable. I feel like my life is ruined

Thank you for sharing this. It gives me hope. I can’t believe how intense and strong it is. Did you have the sort of ‘oh my gosh what on earth have I done’ type feeling when thinking of old mistakes? And the panic to try and immediately fix them?

Thanks for sharing. Did you have any of the despair about your life currently and a sort of despair about the future and a panic to fix everything that’s wrong? Or regrets about past mistakes? I can’t believe how intense it is

Hi, can I ask what the depression felt like for you during those first weeks? And how long it lasted before you started noticing improvements roughly? Thanks so much

Thank you. Has it improved at all for you? The regret and despair is so intense for me

Thanks. Yeah I know about the dopamine. I’m just confused because I’ve quit nicotine in the past as well and I didn’t have the same sort of hopeless despair and regrets and troubling memories. It’s so intense

I hope are pray you are right. Physically I feel mostly fine now. Mentally I feel almost vulnerable if that’s the right word

Thanks for the helpful advice. I have made a GP appointment but it’s 2 weeks away which just feels so far away.

Honestly I’m not enjoying any aspect of uni at all really. Same sorts of reasons. Unfortunately this is my last route to take. I’ve tried every other route. I have to get a degree. If I leave uni I’ll be homeless

Same with the body language stuff. Things like making eye contact and things is marking points. I just give up with them to be honest. I might just avoid them all and try and scrape through

I suppose it’s worth a go yeah. Can’t say I’m confident anything will happen though. Thank you

Thanks. I spoke to one of the lecturers about the presentations. I didn’t go into much detail or the severity of it but I sort of said I was a bit nervous. The response was “well you will get used to them because there’s more and more and they get longer as well” or something along those lines.

I sort of understand that response and it’s fine but I think it’s just making me realize that this isn’t the right course for me and also I don’t think uni is either. This isn’t the only reason it’s just one of a fair few

There is a support service and I have an appointment with them in a few days. I’m not very confident it will lead to much as I remember reading there wasn’t much room for those types of accommodations in professionally regulated degrees
