I’ve been a bit light on the posting recently, and I just wanted to post to say that I’m still around, and hopefully I’ll be back posting more frequently.
I’ve been having one of those periods where everything just piles on top of the other. I’d been having a lot of trouble with depression for much of this year - the sort of thing where, once you get out of having lived in survival mode for years, the trauma you’ve picked up along the way just kicks you in the arse. Then, just after I’d had a decent period, came this, which basically triggered a relapse. Now, just as I’d been trying to get on medication and try and fast-track getting registered with the university’s disability office to try and manage to stay in school, the head of my college (in a change I’m sure had nothing to do with her being counselled by her superiors for so mishandling the above [/sarcasm]) started making life increasingly difficult and made it pretty clear that she wanted me gone, and this week, I jumped before I was pushed and gave notice, thus requiring me to suddenly a new place to live. It was also kind of the last straw in that I’ve also wound up taking the rest of the year off to give things a chance to settle done and try and control the depression I’ve had, so I’m now also looking for a full-time job.
So yes, this isn’t a great time at the moment, but hopefully things will settle down a bit soon - and in that case, hopefully I’ll be back posting.
Sorry to hear you’ve been going through such difficult times Bec, hope this is a turning point and that everything starts to come right for you. You deserve good things and they will come. Hold tight my sister.
You know where to find me if you need to talk; I only wish I lived nearer and could offer more practical help.

I’m really sorry to hear what you’ve been going through. I’m so mad at the head of your college. Ugh… Hope things start looking up for you soon.
