cave in or carry on??

Hi,

haven't posted for a long long time but i've been struggling quite a bit lately and one thing i do know is that you lot here are amazing at helping someone out when they're in need of it..

okay well... i'm a 3rd year psychology student and i'll be graduating in july (if i pass) and being let out into the big wide world of work where i'll hopefully begin my career... thing is because of my self-harm, ED, substance abuse, BPD, OCD and all the other stupid shit shrinks have thrown onto me i've gotten into a lot of trouble since starting uni in 2009. I've been sectioned by the police, arrested several times and i have 2 cautions on my record, i've been sectioned by the crisis team aswell and had a handful of hospital admissions... but,, one thing i do see to have under control atm is my ED and self-harm... for now anyway... i haven't self harmed in just over 14 months now but the urge is getting so bad that the self-harm thoughts have turned into suicide ideas... i know why this is,, because when i graduate who will hire someone with mental health issues that are still issues to help others with the same difficulty?!?! and i'm not even going to start with the cautions on my police record... i'm just confused and stuck and idk... if i cnt get a job what am i going to do?? i can't have treatment because again who will hire someone who needs the treatment themselves?!?!

anyway basically what im struggling with is the thought that... have i just wasted/ruined 3 years of my life trying to get a degree that i won't be able to practice in?!?! what's the point?!?! no point in me carrying on with the degree if no-one will hire me,, not just for a psych job either,, no-one will hire me with a record!!

Fuck man i just don't know what to do... all that's going through my mind,, or should i say screaming inside my head is "Kill Yourself!!... End it All!!"... the only reason i haven't done anything so far is because of my girlfriend L... she's amazing and i couldn't bare the thought of leaving her all alone...




I Love You Because The Expression On Your Face Doesn't Change When You Look At My Scars..

Hi there.
First of all; sorry to hear you're struggling so much right now.
I don't have many words right now but I don't think you should give up on your degree - it might seem like everything is against you practising in this field but there will be one day when you're not struggling with these things and you can start the career you care about.
I don't think you should write off your future because of your current mind set.
I hope things improve for you.

im sorry to hear that you are struggling. are you sure that seeking help will make finding a job difficult? might be worth doing some research on what the actual rules are if you haven't already. it is important to get help when you need it.

i'm not sure exactly what your degree will be in, but if it is a general psychology degree there are lots of other applications that you can find a job working in and then when you're feeling better you can work yourself back towards what your original plan was.




this is my magical medicine cabinet. Left to right they contain: courage, hope, calmness, and strength.

The magical part: They NEVER run out, so borrow some any time you want.



PM me anytime, I love getting messages :)
Katie
