Not coping so well...

[Suzi]

Might be worth talking to your GP about it?

[Paula]

I’d definitely see your GP, or the practice nurse.

I'll mention it to him when I see him next month, it's stopped again now, I'm just a bit ratty this morning, I'm hoping it will pass once I start my day proper, just having a quick brew and chill right now before I get ready

[Suzi]

How are you now lovely?

[CaterpillarGirl]

I went a bit shaky and light headed this morning, I feel OK now and I'm not ratty anymore, just really tired, having a coffee before I go to my dad's and then work. My magnets came today so I'm giving those ago, although it's a relatively easy day today as I was in the right frame of mind to spend time with my mum, I'm just having a bit of a panic that I'm getting behind with my coursework

[Suzi]

Do you and your Mum not get on well?

[Jaquaia]

I'm sure you'll be fine with your coursework. Suzi and Paula can tell you just how much I've panicked with mine, what I've found that helps is making sure I take regular breaks, keeping hydrated and making sure that I'm keeping my tutor aware of what's happening rather then trying to battle through.

[Suzi]

We can definitely vouch for that! You'll do more than fine I'm sure...

Do you and your Mum not get on well?

We get on OK, I just have some issues with her from the past that I don't know how to let go of and am unable to confront her about so if I'm in the wrong frame of mind when I see her I tend to get mad and be really irritable with her, I also feel sometimes like I don't meet her expectations and I'm not the person she wants me to be (although that part is probably my anxiety and depression talking)

I haven't spoken to my tutor about any of what I'm going through, it's an online course so we only communicate via email, it might be a good idea for me to talk to her about it, it's not something I'd considered

[Jaquaia]

Mine is through the OU so I only email my tutor but he's been absolutely brilliant
