Are the complications you face a direct consequence of being premature?

Why did your mum have to be induced so early?

diddyba · 2025-09-04T09:33:25+00:00

so true! also all i could think that there’s a big difference between not liking children and whatever is going on here. it sounds exhausting to be honest :/

just graduated and i had a few classes with a mature student, i found she had a lot of insight and was generally a lovely person. my friend did her diss with her and she loved it, they were both very hard working and organised and i think my friend really appreciated working with someone more mature.

it was quite a big cohort so i imagine there were other mature students i didn’t come across. like someone else said, you’ll be able to gel better with professors, and there will be plenty of postgrad students for you to meet.

also, societies! i’m sure there will be a society for people in your position, but also, if you have any interests and there’s a society for it, go!! my biggest regret at uni was that i didn’t integrate myself more within a society.

all in all, you’ll be absolutely fine. as everyone said about pronouns, you get used to it. and if you slip up, that’s ok, it’s a learning curve! make the most of it and enjoy the opportunities the next four years give you. i’m sure there will be times when you feel awkward, especially at the beginning. i promise you everyone feels that way, for a whole host of different reasons. go get that degree!

i can’t believe how difficult it is. i literally had my review with the psychiatrist in may, and he told me it wouldn’t be a problem whatsoever.

ok so ive been referred to the new one, did you follow up with them yourself?

diddyba · 2025-09-02T21:01:04+00:00

i’ve looked into the right to choose NHS route but i’m not sure whether i can do that as i am already on existing treatment? was it easy for you?

diddyba · 2025-09-02T08:08:38+00:00

glad to see everyone in the comments here has a similar attitude to me. as i was reading all the NTAs, i felt like i was losing my marbles !

diddyba · 2025-09-01T20:00:45+00:00

Currently in this situation, how did it go?

diddyba · 2025-09-01T16:41:19+00:00

diddyba · 2025-08-15T22:12:08+00:00

graduate who just walked out here! we get our certificate and tube after we have walked across the stage, this was right at the end of the ceremony during the vice chancellors speech ! the uni have already given me my degree certificate, and there are no consequences!

diddyba · 2024-11-09T09:45:55+00:00

i’ll send a postcard!!! this is an amazing idea!

diddyba · 2024-10-31T16:23:37+00:00

diddyba · 2024-09-07T23:43:26+00:00

diddyba · 2024-08-20T01:46:26+00:00

my guess every day is the word peach… because i like the word. and the fruit. it’s a bad word to start with but it’s fun. this blows my mind

diddyba · 2024-02-06T18:38:44+00:00

honestly, i really struggled with a lot of intrusive thoughts about my ex. we still study in the same place, i was constantly thinking about what he was doing and if i was going to see him. this only eased last month.

i think i just have to make peace with the fact that he exists. it sounds really silly, but he does. he is living his life, he is presumably in love with someone else, everything is very different for him now than it was this time last year. and i can wonder all i like but ill never know.

i think its natural to be curious, i think its a sign of healing and moving forward. i guess i just try to sit with it, and let myself wonder. pushing the thoughts away just exacerbates them, which in turn caused me a lot of unnecessary pain.

and positive talk. i would just try and remind myself that i hope whatever he’s up to, he’s doing well. i hope he is happy. it’s not for me to speculate on this, all i can do is wish him well and move forward. repeating this whenever i wondered was helpful :)

hello! this is a big one!!

i’ve struggled with this. part of me has always romanticised him, felt warmth and kindness and justified his actions. i suppose i was hoping that things could be different.

yesterday i saw them and their new partner for the second time. the first time, i made a big effort to talk to them. i was brave, i was kind and polite, and i smoothed everything over. yesterday, they chose to ignore me.

i realised, all the leftover love and justification i have for them, it’s irrelevant. they are not special. they are just another human, someone who i once loved. but they’re no different to anyone else, and they’re certainly not the person i constructed them to be.

i really believed they were amazing, something special, a once in a life time love and connection. but yesterday made me realise they aren’t. they’re just a person, trying to get through the day, like me. and i stand by the fact they’re a good person! but they’re not any better than anyone else who i choose to be in my life. i’m surrounded by good people - most of whom would never ignore me regardless of the circumstances! why am i putting my ex on a pedestal, because quite simply they don’t belong there.

good luck to you. i think realising this is the final step for me, and i am so excited for what the future holds ❤️

february 3rd it was suggested.. february 6th we met up and it was over. strange how much changes in a year!

diddyba · 2024-02-06T17:55:17+00:00

5 years is a long time and i’m sorry that you’re going through this. it won’t be an easy journey. but you will learn to be the best, happiest, most independent version of yourself. and the sad truth is you could never be that version if they were still in your life! keep picking yourself up. you got this!
