This post is a bit of a downer. My mood has been very up and down lately.
Over the past few months i have been finding life very difficult.
Currently I am doing the following.
Working 3.5 days per week
UNI 1 day per week.
Thats 37 hours over 4.5 days
I go bowling once or twice a week.
then I have house work, car clean, washing etc.
Now for a healthy person this is pretty easy life. I should have bundles of energy and going to the gym and going out socialising. Unfortunatly this really tires me out.
A close friend of mine has told me of the spoon theory. My understanding of this is that a person has x amount of spoons available in a set time period. each activity takes a spoon. As you only have so many spoons available they can run out quite easily.
I feel that at the moment I deplete my spoons just doing some of the above. I should also be doing UNI work, and having a social life.
This past weekend I went shopping with a friend who came up from London. After this I was completely knackered and fell asleep on sofa. The following day I had a trip to the new Silverstone wing arranged. I got up early and went to Silverstone, followed by a visit to CostCo. After this a was so tired. When I got home I ended up wiped out for the rest of the day.
Something has to change.
I can not complete my final year of Uni. I cannot do the extra work involved to get assignments and dissertation done.
I have spoken to the UNI and hopefully they will allow me to defer the dissertation till next year. *fingers crossed*
Once I have finished UNI I will then approach my employer and see if I can reduce my hours. I don't think its a good idea to do that yet as they won't pay me my salary whilst me only beling there 3.5 days a week.
In the meantime I just need to get the two remaining modules done.
Fingers crossed.
Added to this. My chest is not looking good.
Hospital within a month.

The slide going down
Typing this as I should desperately be doing UNI work.
My UNI work is falling behind at the moment as I struggle with energy levels. After I am home from work this is pretty much flaking me out. And because I am falling behind, I struggle to face up to what I need to do. I have huge amounts of work to do in the next 6 weeks, I seriously doubt I can do it. This is causing me to stress and run away from it, which is making things worse. I am struggling in the subjects. Not sure if or how I can get out of this, it is seriously stressing me out.
My closest Friend 'N' is preggers. Congratulations to them. N chose her boyfriend over me. I am glad to keep her as a friend. But as I cannot conceive it was obviously the right choice, I was never going to be enough for her or anybody. Who wants somebody who is firing blanks.
However in the off chance that somebody doesn't mind a half man I have stepped up trying to meet somebody on an internet dating site. Currently I have one mad stalker who sends chav speak messages to me everyday. She keeps expecting dirty comments or talk from me, but thats not me. Besides I have reservations that she is connected to or knows my ex-family. She is from the same area they live.
I have started chatting to a teacher who is after friendship. Hopefully this can continue.
I am feeling extremely low at the moment in my head and this isn't helping my health. I can feel my chest getting tighter everyday. Hopefully this can change as I don't really want to be back in hospital again. Unfortunatly hospital is always going to be when rather than if. This is one advantage of living a solitary life outside of work. When I was with my ex she always was coming down with one infection or another due to interaction with so many more people. Hence I was picking things up more regularly. However living life solo I am getting less bugs which is good but not good mentally. Catch 22 situation.
Short post as must get UNI work done.
