Hey all.
So I have been recently diagnosed as an apsie.
I have an awful lot to say, but I'll keep this relevant to the topic.
Who else can tell me that they picked a degree that seemed like a logical topic for them to do because they couldn't (with the amount of lacking self-esteem and major depression they suffered from) do what they might actually really enjoy in life. I picked something that seemed like a good idea. I am very close to finishing it. It has taken me three years longer than it should have (4 years) because i am down and i dont specifically care and I don't want to work full time so being a student is a better option. It is the thought of looming employment (most likely will have to be full time) as well as job interviews, acting like an adult, etc, that scare the hell out of me. I can't do those things! I can barely do normal things at all- I can't drive, not that I care, and I live in a garage (it does look awesome tho). I am 26 and female and feel as cynical and depressed about the world as victor meldrew or an 80 year old man. On my university field placements, which were full time, I got crazy anxiety from the pressure of trying to fit in to an office (and this was before i knew something was specifically different- dare i say, wrong- with me). I got covered in eczema very severely as an auto-immune reaction to stress. ideally i wouldnt work, or i would get a great part time job and listen to jazz and sing and play violin a bit and read and that would be it for me. but I am struggling with the finding work thing. Im great on first impressions, and very good at resume writing, but my last job i just couldnt really fake it with the bosses- I HATE AUTHORITY- and it didnt work well, I mean, I'm all smiles but my life is not normal- i dont talk about babies and i dont have a partner (which is a shame for me) so what the hell man i mean these people are Nothing like me. they stopped calling me in for shifts. so, i am struggling to care about finishing uni, struggling to care about and also to find work, and stuggling to live off of very minimal social welfare payments (im in australia). sigh,., i dont know anyone like me. help me. xo
