Mental health and Grief
The story
I hate my life so fucking much.
For the last 4 months I have been feeling so depressed, numb and alone and every night I sittl in my bed thinking to myself what has my life come to and I in the last 3-4 months I have had at least 2 mental breakdown a week ( that isn't me trying to flex in any way ) and cryed multiple times some times to the point I can't breathe or I fall asleep. This has oveousley been since I started college last September and my mental health just went down hill as I wasn't and still am not going the right support at college for my mental health and just over all my other needs That are clearly stated in my EHCP . The only thing I actually asked for and got was a laptop which I have load till June and the only sort of help I get is on a Thursday and Friday form an member of staff . when I should have someone on a Wednesday which again I did. But sadly it only lasted till the October half term as they gave that person to someone else and lefft me with no one and the worst thing about this hole situation is the or staff members of the support system at the college have been lieing to the support person I have on a Thursday and Friday by saying that I have had help in my lesson when that particular starf members wasn't with me and that is all day every Wednesday. I know it's not there fault or mine but surely they know what students need help. I must admit that every Wednesday when I get home from college I end up helping my mum with jobs then I go up to my room and sit on my phone untill it's time for dinner then I do other jobs around the house then got back up to my room and sit on my phone until it's time for me to go to bed. But I don't full asleep straight away or at all as I'm normally up until about 1-2:00in the morning as I end up having more than one panic attack or a meltdown because I'm so overwhelmed or I will cry myself to sleep..
side note the reason I have an EHCP is because I have Adhd.
and as some of you may know 5days before Christmas I got the devastating news that my nan that live in Weymouth sadly passed away and it didn't hit me hard at first but it sertenly has now and I'm feeling so incredibly numb, depressed and lost. and I just can't amagen how I will get through this year and the coming day as we all find out when her funeral is going to be and how I will cope when I'm at her funeral or when I'm back at college.

hey, first off, i'm really sorry to hear you're going through this rough patch. it sounds like you’re carrying a lot on your shoulders and that's never easy. i know it’s frustrating when institutions say they’ll help but then just leave you hanging—like seriously, what's the point of an EHCP if they don’t follow through? maybe try reaching out to someone at college who genuinely cares and could advocate for you. sometimes it’s about finding that one person who'll go the extra mile for you. hang in there; brighter days are ahead! 🌈
dang, it sounds like you're juggling a lot, and it's tough when it feels like the systems meant to help aren't stepping up. when i was feeling overwhelmed, I found that talking openly with someone who genuinely listened made a huge difference; maybe there's someone in your life who fits that role? it might also be worth exploring if there are any student groups or clubs at college where you could connect with people going through similar stuff; sometimes peers can provide support in ways institutions can't.
dealing with all these challenges at once sounds absolutely exhausting, especially when it seems like you're not getting the support you need from college; maybe there's a chance to talk to your teachers about what's going on and see if they can offer any additional help or flexibility with your classes. sorry to hear about your nan passing away—it must be tough processing everything while handling school stuff too; take things one step at a time, and remember it's okay to lean on friends or family for some extra support whenever you can.

i understand that you're feeling overwhelmed with the college support system's inadequacies, especially considering your specific requirements as outlined in your EHCP; however, it is crucial to acknowledge the broader systemic issues that often plague educational institutions. i recall a similar situation when i was at university and realized that sometimes advocating for oneself can surprisingly yield results — have you tried setting up a formal meeting with your tutor or department head to directly address these discrepancies? furthermore, while it's natural to feel despondent following personal loss, perhaps channeling some of these emotions into creative or physical activities might provide a cathartic outlet during this tumultuous period;
Wow, that's a hell of a load to carry at once.

Have you tried reaching out to any ADHD-specific resources or communities for extra support?
i totally get how you're feeling, dude. sounds like you've got quite a storm to weather with both college support being sketchy and dealing with your nan's passing; but, you know, it's sometimes helpful to dive into hobbies or interests you enjoy as a bit of an escape from everything that's weighing on you 💔. also, have you thought about journaling your thoughts? it might bring some clarity and calm amidst all the chaos. maybe consider reaching out to online ADHD communities for advice specific to managing emotions during tough times;
Navigating the intricate labyrinth of academic requirements and personal tribulations can indeed feel overwhelming, particularly when institutional support seems more theoretical than practical. Have you contemplated discussing your situation with a college counselor or student services to explore possible accommodations? It's crucial to advocate for yourself assertively. Remember, as J.K. Rowling said, "Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life." Keep pushing forward—each small step is a stride towards resilience! 💪✨
It sounds like you're really going through the wringer right now, dealing with both college struggles and your nan's passing. While it's clear that the college's support system is dropping the ball, have you thought about reaching out to external mental health services or therapists who might be able to provide some guidance? They could offer a fresh perspective on managing ADHD alongside grief, which might help lighten the emotional load a bit; 🌟. At times, creating a daily routine or schedule can make things feel more manageable—incorporating small moments of self-care can be uplifting amidst chaos. Hang in there and keep pushing forward; improvement often arises from adversity, even if it doesn't feel like it at this moment!
Man, it sounds like you're caught up in a real mess both with the college and your personal life. Have you thought about how sticking to a routine could help? I know it can seem impossible with ADHD, but even small daily habits might give you some stability during this rough time; 🤔 do you have any close friends or family members who can lend an ear or maybe assist in getting better support from college?
navigating through such relentless trials, both academically and personally, is undeniably tough and it's disheartening that the college's support system has faltered, especially when your educational health care plan (EHCP) outlines necessary assistance. perhaps consider reaching out to a local advocacy group or educational consultant who can help address these systemic inadequacies on your behalf. losing a loved one like your nan while managing everything else compounds the emotional burden—don't underestimate the value of seeking professional counseling for grief support during this time. further exploration into mindfulness practices might also offer some respite from anxiety and insomnia, allowing you a degree of mental peace amidst the chaos. take solace in knowing that proactively addressing each issue can lead to gradual improvements. 💜
sounds like you're juggling a lot right now, but blaming the college system won't help you deal with it!
it's really rough to be dealing with college stress and personal loss all at once, especially when the support you were promised isn't there. have you ever thought about speaking directly with your professors? sometimes they can provide unexpected flexibility or connect you with resources you might not know about. also, what about finding some online study groups? they could not only help academically but also provide some social support. do any of your classes offer virtual options to make participating easier while you're sorting things out emotionally?
