TW: Trauma and relationships

[creative_writer]

@tyme I’m feeling very burnt out and exhausted. I’ve been moody lately. It gets harder to shake things off when I’m extremely exhausted. I’ve been struggling to concentrate more than usual. It’s just hard to sit with the thoughts because I seem to feel like I’m supposed to do more and try harder

Hey @creative_writer haven't spoken in a bit, but just wanted you to know I've been reading along, and I'm sorry things feel so endless for you. Sometimes it's not about doing more or trying harder - cos we're already doing so much, and we can burn ourselves out on the process. Have hope darlin, change can be agonisingly slow, sometimes to the point it's unnoticible, but it doesn't mean things aren't shifting. 

Sending some hugs your way, and maybe I'll catch you next week 🫂💜

@creative_writer, I'm very impressed that you've nearly finished your degree, good on you! What's your major?

It sounds like you have a really good sense of self-awareness. And it also sounds like that you have a lot on your shoulders right now and need to have a good support network around you — so if you feel the need for a change with your psychologist, you need to do what is best for you.

Wishing you all the best with the rest of your degree and placement!

Looking forward to hearing from you again, take care 😊

You are so brave and you have been pushing through each and every time. I hear how tired you must be feeling @creative_writer .

Has today been better for you?

[creative_writer]

@Jynx I feel so damn exhausted. I really need a break or I’m going to burn out. I may be getting better, but it never feels good enough. I’ll see you next week 💖🫂

@defaultusername I’m doing a Master in social work. I don’t even know how I did it to be honest. I know having support is important, I’m too scared to trust someone new.

@tyme it’s been so damn exhausting. Keeping it all together is exhausting.

Absolutely hear you on that one @creative_writer 

How are your studies going? Is the placement done and dusted? Or do you have another placement to do later on?

[creative_writer]

@tyme in a way I don’t feel ready for the work force, at least won’t be for a few months. I do have a few months till my course finishes. This is my last placement, and then I’ll have my last semester.

I just don’t want my issues to hold me back from a career. There is something that needs to happen, but I don’t know what. I feel guilty saying therapy is no longer helping me
