I need to get on with studying, but I can't focus on this stupid crap I'm meant to learn. I really really chose the wrong degree course :(

Can you do a little bit at a time and give yourself breaks. Good luck with the work

I've done a little bit so far tonight. I dunno, my parents are only happy with the fact I'm nocturnal because I've said I'm studying. So when I can only get an hour of studying done I then feel really bad :(

thats good you have done some, try not to feel bad you have done some and that is a good start, just do little bits when you can.

So Oliver, do you play the french horn? Very impressed if you do, I've never been able to play brass instruments - I stick to woodwind!

I've often thought about picking up a flute cheaply on Ebay or somewhere like that just to have a play around with it. Usually it's just one of those ideas that pops into my head when I'm hyper though, the sort of "right, today I am going to teach myself flute to grade 8 standard" thinking when I say it to myself it's highly possible when in reality of course it isn't!

It's horrible to be caught in those feelings, I know. I think it helps to try and challenge them by telling yourself that the bad things about you aren't true, and that you have a lot of good qualities.

Lizzie, I used to try and play the flute. I wasn't very good. Maybe I'll dig it out some day and try and teach myself a bit.

Hello everyone :) had a good appointment with my support worker this afternoon. Just chatted.

Thank you very much for your advice on the last page, Mari.

I think i'm going to be moving house soon. I had an unofficial offer depending on whether I passed a housing inspection or not. I had the inspection this morning and passed so I might not be around as much.

*hugs everyone*





I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

I'm looking forward to it. It will be a better area and a fresh start.

How are you, Laura?

Good to hear, Lindsay. I hope moving goes well for you.
I'm very well, thank you. Had a good day and thinking about going into the city for a mini-adventure tomorrow.

Managing two minutes is better than managing nothing. :) Have you tried any different ways to study, like doing it in picture format or different colours or with some kind of non-distracting music on? That way you may be able to pull your attention span out a bit. I'm currently doing half an hour on half an hour off. Not the most intensive way of studying, or productive either for that matter, but at least it gets some work done. :)

Want to scream at somebody. I am so so screwed for passing my exams this year. And if I fail, then that's it. I'm out of Oxford and I'll have to find some way of turning my life around or else I'm scared I'll end up living at home forever and on benefits.
