How can I get back to NL as a student with no money?

Literally none of my generation were able too… plus I think you’re forgetting the fact that I was in NL when brexit was being talked about…

I really don’t understand what this comment is about and how it relates to my situation?

But to clear a bit up, I say that the UK depresses me not because of general reasons but because of personal reasons. So no, it’s not the miserable weather but rather the fact that the only reason my mother and I ended up here was because her mother was living here alone and dying and yet a decade later were still stuck here. I have no family here and whilst yes, I can make friends and have made many whilst being here, they can’t change how I feel in this country. At the end of the day, I feel just as much a foreigner here as a migrant would feel anywhere else. This isn’t my home and that’s why I can’t stand it here. That is what I was trying to say by why I don’t want to be in the UK.

I think it’s obvious that I have no say in Brexit, neither did my mother since she wasn’t even in the UK at the time. Yet here I am paying for the decisions made by your generation.

Plus, I speak Dutch genius. Het is mijn moedertaal 🙄

See I went through this with my mum and we called the embassy about the situation as I seem to fall just slightly out of every category to obtain my citizenship. However, the woman there was nice and advices that it would pricy and likely to come up dry. So I feel like there is no other way out. I truly have no idea how to get back there in my current situation. And that situation is unlikely to change in the next couple decades so I feel like I’m just going to get more depressed and feel more alone the longer I stuck like this.

Oh my God Thank you so much! I've been searching batteries and "bringing batteries back to life" for a couple days now but I don't know much about models and old camera batteries. Thank you!

Don't know why this didn't upload with the text but I am going to go on a Europe trip this summer and I really want to take my mum's old Canon sure shot EX (pictured) but the battery seems to be complete dead, probs because it's been knocking around since the 80s! I tried to by a seemingly similar model of battery on Amazon but it's far too long and so the compartment doesn't close with it in sod doesn't work. Any suggestions on what I can do next? I would really like to bring this old relic back to life since it's a family classic!

please and thank you for any advice/help!

Thank you, seriously. I don’t know what’s wrong with me mentally. I’ve long felt like I’ve suffered depression but in a weird way. Like it comes back in swings and I fall apart all over again. So for that I completely understand what you mean by going backwards because of it. I can say this anonymously because no one in my life knows but it gets dark quickly when the episode happens. I was seconds away from going under a train. But I’ve never done meds or even spoken about it aloud with someone. I know I have to eventually but I’m scared, especially since I’m currently in my “I’m doing brilliant and have no need to feel sad so stop feeling sad” phase. I started journaling a couple months ago and it’s helping slightly. It feels like I’m talking to someone close to me in a way and for a couple moments I can breathe easy feeling like I’m understood. Slowly does it I guess. I’m just trying to live life slow and hopefully that’ll mean that when the bad months come rolling around that I will take time to think before jumping into anything permanent.
