@PeppyPatti thank you. While my meds aren't working, I haven't really felt up to talking. I had two lots of good news over the last couple of weeks, and it has made me feel a better. And yesterday was a particularly hard day. And I remembered, at the same time last year when I was really struggling with Grand Final day, I came on the forum, and with help from all the lovely people on here and their kind and compassionate words, I managed to completely calm myself down and go to my friends with my partner to watch the game.

@Bunniekins I know the feeling well. My previous meds were making me so miserable and sad, I would just sit there thinking about how sad I feel. The ones I am on now, have taken that sadness away, but most days I feel numb.

@Dreamy I wouldn't consider them exciting, one is an information session event which is tomorrow whereas the other one basically gets you to test out one of the uni's new website that they have implemented & you have to provide them feedback on it. The good thing is that both of these are for the students that have a disability plan, myself included. 🙂

I bet it'll get at least somewhere in the 50s, if not a bit lower haha. Even if I do get somewhere at least in the 30s-40s on the exam (hopefully not though) the good thing is that I can still pass the unit even if I fail an assessment, since you only need to get at least a 50% minimum overall in the subject/unit in order to pass (and that is determined/measured based on your scores in all of your assessments in the unit and how much each of those assessments are worth).

I just realised that one of my calendars was still sitting on August, so I turned it over. It gave me a good laugh when I read it, so I thought I would share it. I will only get to see it for 3 days.

I completely resonate with you @Mustang67 

Yesterday, my brother called me. There is a very sad disconnect with me and two of my brother's and my younger brother was blabbing about working and being with my oldest brother. 

What ?

They are all having birthday parties leaving ME out again ?

Haven't i worked in myself enough for those 2 rich f...... To realise it's not me the problem and STOP making me my mother ? I cried all night. I woke up thinking it's a new day. Went on Ai and worked out text to my brother decided to take the higher road. Went to mums to be strong. I am strong. 

And he turned up at brother's as big surprise for his 60th he's very stressed about his work.

@Blackcloud well I hope they both go well ☺️. 

It's good that you only need 50% overall to pass but i think you'll exceed that, you are so talented sweet ❤️

[Chasingsunsets]

@PeppyPatti when I finally starting learning why I made the choices I did throughout life, I also decided that anyone who continually used me for their own purposes, and didn't care if it inconvenienced or effected me in any way, they had to go from my life. I was no longer going to put up with it. And I have put a stop to running around after my family (except for my elderly mum). 5 years ago I deliberately moved out the other side of town, so I wasn't handy to them all. So I no longer speak or interact with my niece. And she always rings my mum before coming down to make sure that we don't cross paths.

Anyone who adds to my stress or mental health in anyway, get reduced time interacting with me. My mental health is important to me, and I won't let anyone affect it.

I also deliberately lost contact with a few friends who didn't always seem to have my best interests at heart and always wanted to gossip. And I feel so much better off for it.  I feel lighter. 😊
