Hi Zaredkhan

I’m sorry to hear that you hurt your leg (I hope it gets better soon), your father was mean to you, you had computer troubles and you are having difficulties with studying for your exam. It’s a lot to happen in a short space of time .

The following I’m saying not to compare our difficulties. But to acknowledge that this is the reality of what life is like.

I’m in a similar situation to you. Studying for an exam. At the same time my sister has gone into homeless accommodation (I am her carer), there have been issues with her supported accommodation and we are trying to set up a care plan for her, my supervisor had to take leave because of an emergency (I will be covering her classes) and I have to trek to a hospital for scans to decide whether I’ll finally be allowed surery for long term health issues.

It is a blessing when there are calm periods in life, but more often than not as adults we face regular challenges. The trick is developing ourselves, so that we are functional and able to cope with challenges occurring.

It sounds like you have a lot of good techniques and practices already and medication to help. I hope that with each issue in life you tackle, you get stronger and feel more confident in your ability to handle challenges in the future.

Are there any times where you feel calmer?
