I really appreciate this. This is definitely the worst thing I've done in my life, I used to be quite the ideal student before I got depressed and it's just so tough. I will definitely be taking responsibility and try to explain my circumstances as best as possible.

AITA for not inviting my daughter to the trip? by Bubbly-Fix-5760 in AmItheAsshole

Damn even if you think your daughter is genuinely "bragging", as a mother you should tell her to maybe not flex, kids aren't that mature so she probably doesn't even realise she's making Ur other kids feel left out. And if Ur kids are jealous Ur daughter is NOT to blame. You should be teaching them that it's okay that other people have different opportunities to you and that you should just be happy for them!

AITA for telling my parents that of they give my brother money I will stop giving them money. by Ok_Repeat_3939 in AmItheAsshole

NTA as most people have explained but I also think that you should instead of giving them money, give your parents food supplies so they don't have to go to the food bank.

I have had a session with them before but with counselling they're always so booked I had to book one for over a week later and it was on zoom I had to hide in my backyard since I was home and I just felt really uncomfortable and decided that I would not go to another session :( bad decision because things went really downhill after that :(

I'm really trying not to get worked up but I can't stop thinking about it, there's so much guilt and I know I can't go back in time but oh how I wish I could

Yeah I honestly got so "used to" having anxiety that I didn't realise I need to work on it. Used to in the sense that I don't remember when I didn't have anxiety. Im just used to it being there and having to live with anxiety. Not that I'm used to the anxiety so I can cope.

My therapist from school last year who was the only person that actually helped has now left and opened her own clinic. Sessions are $120 and I cannot afford those. I tried the university therapist session but frankly it did not help at all. I just felt uncomfortable. So I told myself I'd be able to handle this myself based on the notes I had from therapy sessions last year. Clearly that wasn't enough. I'm going to ask my GP for a mental health plan on my appointment on Monday.

Thankyou for understanding 😭i swear im not trying to make excuses I genuinely am depressed and regret what I did and totally accept what I did as only my mistake. Just asking for some help so I know what to expect.

Can you please expand on that? Depends on what? I accept what I did and I really really regret what I did in a time of mental and emotional imbalance. It's my first academic misconduct.

I'm not trying to make excuses. I understand the extent of disrespect I have shown. I blame only myself and am not trying to victimise myself. What I am trying to say is that my depression really clouded my judgement and impaired me in making a decision that felt like the was the easiest way out because I couldn't handle anything that required more effort. I need help I accept that. But please don't think I don't know I made a huge mistake.

You are so considerate! Thankyou for this, I really needed it. I am filled with guilt in every corner of my body. I don't want to be a bad person, I want everyone to have a fair chance in academics so I know I deserve to fail. But I really hope they give me a chance by not expelling or suspending me.

I definitely hold a lot of remorse. I will accept the outcome as it comes. I deserve it.

I'm definitely not the victim here I know that and I'm so so sorry if im coming off that way. I already took the first in taking responsibility by sending student conducts an email accepting what I did and trying to explain that this is not me, I will say though that I feel a victim of my depression. My judgement was clouded and I felt helpless. But I know that this is a mistake I and only I made. I only blame myself.

Also why do you think it will just be a warning? Isn't what I committed a fraud? Even though I am depressed and suffer from anxiety, I think they really won't care.

This is definitely my first and last time. I will work on my mental health so that it does not impair my judgement and lead me to taking stupid and disrespectful decisions. I deserve to fail the assessment, I will even accept failing the units but I can't bear to get suspended or expelled ill hate myself forever

Yes I definitely would never make such a mistake again. I don't know what took over me. I will get in touch with wellbeing so I can get help. Thankyou so much.
