chat space and update on things
hi just moving things to a new thread
so here's some thing' that's happening:
To be honest, not much so it's hard to know why I'm feeling this way.
Basically I've been feeling really depressed over the last few days cos I can't relax no matter how hard I try. I can't eat healthy, I hate working out, I'm so stuck for what to write creatively and I feel so guilty whenever I want to look at screens cos I know they're not good for me.
When I told my parents they arranged something everyday this week to take my mind off it, causing me to feel very overwhelmed and hurt cos I SPECIFICALLY TOLD THEM that I didn't want them to go and fix things, I just wanted to listen. We argued a lot on Monday, I nearly have a panic attack and they finally wipe the schedulue clean and promise to only do things if they feel up for it (I know, it sounds like I manipulated my parents but I DIDN'T). Which causes me to feel really guilty over the past week cos it's my mum's week off work and she's spending it looking after me instead of doing things for herself (she says its fine but I can tell it isn't).
I'm also getting stressed over the holidays ending soon cos what if I haven't relaxed enough. AND next week I've attending some pre o-week thingy for uni where we attend sessions on how to make the most of uni life (which is on at the same time as this cool art workshop I've been looking forward to for weeks).
So yeah. Not feeling great at the moment.

Hi @AcidMonster55 , it sounds like things have been really tough for you lately!
It can be really conflicting to be juggling between a writer's block and feeling guilty when trying to distract yourself with screens. Adding to this, it sounds overwhelming to have had an argument with family and feeling worried about whether you've relaxed enough over the holidays.
It's also understandable that you feel hurt by your parents scheduling in activities when you've expressed that you didn't want them to fix things but to listen to you.
I'm sorry to hear that you pre o-week session clashes with an art workshop that you've been looking forward to. I'm wondering, is this session compulsory?
I can see that you're very self-aware on what has been affecting you lately and have been proactive in seeking support here on the forums! 🙌 We will also be sending you an email soon!
