Good Morning!

[MDT]

Not the best on this side @Former-Member
Pretty average feeling

[Former-Member]

@MDT ah yeah I see. Sorry to hear you're feeling a bit flat but hopefully the day will start looking up soon. Here to chat if you need 🙂

Ive got uni today - kinda looking forward to it Cus the content is interesting. What have you got on for today?

[MDT]

just work @Former-Member
i have given up on uni as they are a useless institution lol

[Former-Member]

@MDT Oh trust me I feel that way too sometimes, as I navigate uni with a mental illness. Can be very tricky to find support - so I hear you there!

[MDT]

yeah i remember doing that too @Former-Member
It could be tough as from time to time it required medical evidence etc to get extension and what not
Fortunately, they were quite a good service where I went to Uni. Once I got accepted as having disability support. I guess I was in the middle ground in that regard. Sometimes I didn't even need the help though. In the end it was helpful to have though I must say.

[Former-Member]

@MDT  I am with disability services as well and that helps. But there is a load of admin to do at uni and I find that really tough to do - especially when my condition is aggravated. I also have to send lots of emails for support and I find that tedious because I fret over the wording and stuff like that.

But you're right - the support that exists is helpful 🙂 and I also really enjoy the subjects in my course so that helps to keep in top of it all.

its about balance isn't it? @Former-Member
what do you study?

[Former-Member]

@MDT  Yup - definitely about balance. I recently decided to go to part time and I'm really so happy with that decision.

I study an allied health degree 🙂 I took two years off before going to uni - and I'm glad I did because I'm happy with where I'm at and what I'm studying.

[MDT]

thats good @Former-Member
yeah I did balance between part time and full time
I also found that going straight to uni after school was a mistake - i ended up taking the second half of that year off and didn't do much at all - just to clear my head. It's been a while since then in fact. 10 years next year lol

[Former-Member]

@MDT  ah right I see 🙂 I've got to jump onto my lecture now - chat soon! Have a nice day!
