How are you feeling?

I'm tired, but I've procrastinated to the point of critical mass. I now must start... ugh... doing stuff before I can go to bed. :thumbdown:

I am sick of feeling so emotionally volatile.
My thoughts can be close to making me want to pack it all in and end the torment, early in the morning, then by lunch time I can be not too bad, then by night time I get a burst of energy and end up in a positive frame of mind.

Then the next morning it's back on the emotional roller coaster for a completely different sequenced ride through the next day and so on.:sad:
Feeling like I might end up going officially crazy soon, for real.

Is it TAFE that's causing this? If so, is there anyone on campus that you can talk to about your emotions? There are psychologists at the University of Wollongong that I can use if necessary, so maybe there are some at your TAFE if you wanted to go down that route.

Doing "stuff" before you go to bed, eh? 😉

Dirty mind alert.

^ There is a counsellor there but we have been told that she is only for when we have difficulty keeping up academically with subject matters etc, not personal problems. I should go to my GP, but I have had to find a new one as my old one left, and I find it so embarrassing admitting to someone I have mental problems due to the stigma attached. I know she is a doctor, but I still feel guilty about it. I guess it is a catch 22 situation; I need help, but my anxiety is stopping me from seeking it, that is why I am in need of help, but what I need help with is stopping me from getting the help. :kickingmyself:

I hope Uni is going as well as you are hoping it to so far, Mikey.🙂

Hot and bothered.

Politics and hot weather always brings out the worst in me.

I'm feeling totally like crap right now. My college results came out today and the page is blank so I think I didn't get a place. So right now I got no school, no job and broke. I'm really hoping for a place in a school but as usual all my hopes got crushed.

Maybe it's just a problem of the website, if they reject you there will be a page with it write, if the page it's just blank probably you just need to wait.

Hope you'll get accepted!

Feelin' a wee bit better - despite the stomach aches 'n' no' keepin' much food doon. Apart fae that... Well, am kinda gan through a bit of a crisis. Y'know, ah jist feel like there's aw these expectations n' high standards put upon me from ma family. That, and constantly being 2nd guess. And the ridiculous reputation as "being hysterically funny". Which, ah don't think ah um, tae be honest. Am definitely no' as intelligent or as funny as ma cousin credits me as being. Ah basically jist give the impression that am smart by buying book ah know ah'll probably never git roon tae reading.

I think I understand it now.

I was feeling really anxious. Some anxiety is still there, but not so much. Now I just feel tired.

I hope so. I have send them an email so I'm waiting for the reply. Right now school is all I got and without it I don't know what I am going to do with myself.

I really had got myself together then to celebrate I got wasted and it all came back. Man that was so dumb. Now all that I want to do is to get wasted again.

Abstinence and learning to ride out temptation is the only answer for me. Also need to say no to my well-meaning but ultimately toxic friends.

It’s quite a challenge but I must say I do enjoy those long periods when I’m not wasted or recovering from being wasted. It feels as though this is how I was meant to be…One life, don’t waste it especially when you have some much opportunity right now. Make some good life choices.

Lonely. Letdown. Left out - as per usual. :sad:

Everyone in ma family over a certain age are so effin' secretive. They tell me nuthin' - or they conveniently "forget" to - until summit's sprun on me at the last minute. Then, they've got the nerve tae git pissed aff when ah don't them summit. Buckin' hypocrites. :veryangry: :kickingmyself:

No wonder ah dinnae trust anybuddy, ah cannae even trust ma ain family.

20 past 6 and still in this shite hole of a place called work. Feeling overworked and underpaid. (Aren't we all??!) ;-)

Frustrated beyond belief. :kickingmyself:

^Sad thing is more and more people in the world are having to work harder now (because there are many unemployed willing to take your job) and for less pay. :sad:

In a way i don't wanna leave. I've met a lot of cool people such as yourself here and enjoy talking to y'all.

I feel like watching a good horror movie on my lunch break
