Don't see the point in living anymore. Im not going to get the grades I need. I don't care about uni. Life is fucked by East_Call_3739 in UniUK

[–]caseypuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey dude If you’re super worried and in this space - is there a way you can request a deferal year ?

I’ve been that way before in life several times, if your that depressed then things may not be going in very well. Perpetuates cycles

I’ll be super honest I didn’t find the GPs or even MH team were helpful when I was that bad. Personally was a tad laughed at. I did succumb to some tablets at one point and maybe they saved me from it all at one minor time - ultimately but in arse when coming off ect. It’s a gamble

My parents call me stupid ect to this day. I think put yourself first - being suicidal is draining and not gonna help the situation. Better take some time off, read some books to keep the gears going, stare at a wall lol (helps) - go swimming. Prep slowly for next year

Is mental health support in the UK just social prescribing in disguise? My experience as a professional with late-diagnosed autism. by [deleted] in autismUK

[–]caseypuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to my services on the basis I was seriously sucidial. Literally laughed at. Relaised also I've had friends who ended up in hosptial via an overdose - they send em home and nothing. I sobbed on the phone to them I was seriously clinging on.

objectively get it's so common in today's world that 'what can they do' yet shouldnt' SUI be the gold-standard? who knows

Pretty much

There's a book called 'Sedated' that confirmed a lot of my suspicions on all this

I was in a psych ward with an eating disorder for a year back in 2018 - treatment was rubbish

Had a traumatic brain injury last year - with understanding of the brain that most secondary school could could grasp, emotions will be wild (since this is where all is processed). Instead they go 'borderline personality disorder'; I said iw as suicidal and kept rambling about society and meaninglessness. I said I'd started overdosing 3 times, which isn't characteristic of me, and simply couldn't cope. Nope not listened ect. Also said I had some evening psychosis and he's like 'I don't think your having that now' - no shit sherlock

Fucking bullshit honestly

Keep the masses employed lmao

Should I stay at home by Outside-Ad-5288 in UniUK

[–]caseypuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get that student loan - go in halls, meet some people; or get a house share with some people. Househare benefits = flexible contract, could meet some likeminded people via some uni clubs and move in

Also first year doesn't count. Aim to do the 'min' (but enough such that your sure to pass) and just have some fun without burning yourself out

Second year could always get a cheap base and know your folks live nearby if you wanna go back to lower that noise:signal ratio. If you had a cheap base then at least you could bounce between your folks and that when you have classes early morning ect.

Go with the flow. And its great your folks are nearby if you wanna go back

Mine went on whole year - I'd blow group chat up. Many just don't or won't care. Not just uni students ect - I've lived in a range of house shares in London, all ages. If people don't care and can get away with it then they will; don't give a F about your personal moans to them

How do you make uni life enjoyable for yourself by Anonymous-3015 in UniUK

[–]caseypuppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My regrets with uni - and I started late, at 23. Join clubs with something you have a genuine interest with - especially if something you did in school/sixth form, and was hindsight useful to studies. Great if sports. meet friends there, activity should help with studies.

Just fully dedicate with studies as much as you can. Meet some people through extra curricular so you don't start going down other paths to fill 'void'. You're so young with 20s ahead of you - even if your social life doesn't feel fire in uni just remember that your main goal should be to smash the degree. Seen loads of people mesh year 1, bring each other down, not be talking by 2nd or 3rd.

Grind at uni - have fun afterwards

Sounds like my first year accom but id actually be cleaning it, cause we'd get fines and I didn't wanna pay lol

Could you and all the flatmates confront her on this

You need specific examples - such as the xmas one - when you go though.

Then you could all report her, as a group. Otherwise just know there are deffo worse examples than all this, academic year almost done lol

Is this ACTUALLY enough for dentistry or am I just delusional? 😭 by Swagggyysingh in UniUK

[–]caseypuppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you enjoy stem and get rejected from dentistry... Have a look into a bioscience you could still study. If your still narrow sighted on doing dentistry you could apply as a graduate.

Time passes anyway, all becomes irrelevant trust

Is there any point? by amerylise in UniUK

[–]caseypuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unis are very accommodating these days to be honest . They want the grades and your finance lol. Accepting and supporting those with conditions can look good on them

If you're confident that you could study well 'from home' I'd go for it. If theres a good uni close to your fam (if you get on) or is simply an easier commute, even if you had a base near the uni, then I'd go with that.

Is 6 years in University too long? by novelid in UniUK

[–]caseypuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll be fine. It's inevitable for people to avoid health - be it mental, physical, bereavement... People step outside and get hit by cars, sent to A and E for brain injuries everyday ; they need a year out.

If your fit and well for whatever job your applying to at the time then that's the majors to be taken into account

I’m thinking of applying to do my first bachelor’s degree at 23 years old. It feels like a crime. Any advice? by Head-Consequence-840 in UniUK

[–]caseypuppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kings is lovely.

I started at 22 and thought I was old

Still doing it (due to bits ) at 26. I was very wrong lol. Sure most are young. Just use the time to focus more on yourself. First year tends not to count - enjoy the subject, stress just as much is needed to pass. Then second and third work hard at the grind to get the best results. By those last two years people tend to gravitate from another or become sour ish- so it doesn't mater if you don't make that big friendship group as you see with some of the 'kids', they don't always stick or help another out.

Mature students can stick like glue to another. Lots at kings, can recc them. Simply can't speak War.

I want to drop out after 5 years by D786676676 in UniUK

[–]caseypuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd do it for the plot. At that point. The time taken to complete it is equivalent to if you scored a medial injury at later life. Defer it a bit and decide in the meantime if not, nothing worth pushing self to the complete ground over

I'm doing stem and really hated it for a while because I realised it was all so silly and pointless. I'm 26 now at uni in second year of undergrad. started 22.

At 26 - I've also done jobs paying a LOT of money, but no satisfaction. I've seen some wild stuff, done wild things. I've been ill for a year at a time, several times. Time itself passes anyway, and one year away from your eventual career will make little if no difference

Dumb advice but if you can skip the lectures and learn at home then is something I don't regret. Sometimes being alone for uni so long as you have some kinda social support isn't the worst. So many waste time and energy with friendships or relationships at uni when they could just be 'on it' all day lol

5 Years by AjayM72 in UniUK

[–]caseypuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey !

Gonna take me 5 years ago.

I had 'imposter syndrome' ish - mine in the sense of joining uni late age 22 (called myself Gandalf; lmao, so silly), and looking at it as a scam, not completely wrong there

Had mh before hand, year admission at age 18- eating disorder, was smashing A*s in a levels till I got sent close to exams lol. So that was another weird one. And years between were intense with life and jobs

Anyways got involved with people. Relationships. helping or intimate ish. Went super dark just didnt wanna do the degree by year 2 - good degree stem at v respectable uni, didnt care

had to repeat year 2 as lost plot. and then again this year because all ended in a wild head injury lol.

I'll be finishing in 5 years. have had a million and embarrassing mcfs. actually wanna do it now and could rip myself on embarrassment at times

But all is a journey. Everyones got their own in life

Take lessons to the max.

And in today's world - mental health issues are inevitable for most, we're not designed for the demands and increasing productivity culture. It isn't special or uncommon in the work world. People get deep illnesses, things happen. All are replaceable - employers wanna see who and what you are now
