I don’t think I’m cut out for this whole “life” thing. Everyone else seems to be doing a much better job of it than I am; they have a more active social life than me, they work, they have hobbies and they enjoy it. I, however, am noticing my anxiety getting worse as my social [...]

I’m a poor student!

I’m a poor student!

Sadly this is true. Very poor in fact! So if I won £40,000 with paypal I would be over the bleeding moon! I could pay off my student loans for one so that would be a huge weight off my mind, but more importantly, I could shop! And boy do I love to shop! I [...]

Firstly: I am not knocking how hard you personally may have worked for your degree and I do understand that there are people who, for whatever reason, didn’t get the grades they could have got to get into uni. Having said that I do have very strong (controversial, as always) views and dammit I’ll express them! [...]

Three Weeks

Three Weeks

That’s how long it’s been since I went to uni. Three full weeks. Only one of those was an official week off. I am failing. I am fighting as hard as I possibly can, but I am still failing. There is nothing more they can do, there is nothing more I can do, I just [...]

Making no sense

Mrs TeePot October 28, 2010

So that’s not really news, huh! But I was stuck for a title and it fits. I haven’t been to uni for a week now. In fact this last couple of days I have pretended it doesn’t exist. And oddly, the last 2 nights I slept, last night I didn’t even have any nightmares. This [...]

Can anyone lend me a spoon?

Not in the cutlery sense! For an explanation of “Spoon Theory” whiz over here, it makes total sense, I promise. But now seriously, does anyone out there have any spare spoons? because I am all out right now. Between uni, secret (awesome) stuff happening, other secret (possibly awesome) stuff happening, lack of sleep and forgetting [...]

Firstly thank you for the comments on my last post You’re awesome! Today, however, was pretty rough. The first lecture went well, despite most of it going over my head, but I didn’t die and that is good! After that though, things went downhill. I had my first tutorial/seminar/small group session. I had been thinking [...]

Real Life

Mrs TeePot October 18, 2010

Man, this Uni thing is exhausting. Having a “normal” life is exhausting. I am tired all the time, I never have enough time to do anything, tiny little things going wrong send me over the edge. I’ve had to bail from my voluntary work because I just don’t have the energy or time for it [...]

Stress

Mrs TeePot October 4, 2010

Stress affects me, a lot. It’s my biggest trigger for every single one of my mental health diagnoses, and so I find myself blogging, yet again, about my mental health. Once again my posts are making no sense, once again I can barely focus for long enough to write a post, and once again I [...]

This morning on the train to uni I wrote a happy clappy, honest, but over all positive post about yesterday. Four hours later I am on the train back with plans to climb into bed when I get home and stay there. What a difference a day makes! Firstly the weather. It may seem like [...]
