I want a change of career path but i'm scared to do it. This is my main thing holding me back in my life and ultimately why i'm not satisfied in life. I really should address this.
Do you know what you would like to do as a career?

I want to do some kind of engineering in railways, maybe signal engineering or in general. I have a few ideas of ways into the industry but some of them involve stepping down to NVQ or Advanced Apprentice level, not sure if that's wasting my degree or not

Ok well I hope the meeting goes ok, and that you can come to an agreement over treatment that's not too overwhelming for you.

You want some help? If you tell us on here a bit about what the courses are and what you're hoping to get from them then I'm happy to squish it into shape with you.

That's the end of Step 3 but we didn't get very far on the Manosphere front. My T is treating it as obsession/addiction/intrusive thought and most likely symptomatic of the Internet/porn addiction as a whole

Not even slightly. Cool, well if you need help then message me. It's basically the same as what I'm doing. Won't be home until 7pm tonight though
TLG Update: Met mental health advisor at uni. She's gonna email my supervisor and talk in v general terms about not putting me under too much pressure etc.
Also, in therapy today I disclosed something that had been weighing on my mind a lot that I had never told ANYONE (and had promised myself that I would NEVER tell anyone). Not sure if it was the right thing to do, but a big step nonetheless
I was talking to my therapist today about some of the intrusive thoughts I had and she likened it to OCD-type thoughts. Made me think of you
Btw, I dunno if you got my reply to your PM? Hope I didn't say anything too outrageous
Ooh it let me rep this

Do you want to try answering any of these questions you think are relevant (just short answers will do, can expand on them later)?- what's your favourite thing about studying science? Will it be part of the course?
- do you plan on having a career in or related to science? Will this course help you?
- do you prefer theory, practical stuff or both? Example of something you learned that you thought was cool/interesting?
- is education important to you in general? Why?
- do you have plans for after the course, e.g. uni/work etc.?
- do you think this course will be challenging for you?
- how do you think this course might broaden your horizons? Do you think it'll help you grow as a person or make you more interested in the world?
- have you heard or experienced good things about the college? If so do you get on well with the teachers? Why do you want to study there specifically?
- what makes you a good student, e.g. hard-working/dedicated/interested in learning/curious about the world?

Thank you!
I'll answer them all the now. 
The two headings I have to write under are "What career are you hoping to work towards?" and "Additional information". All really have at the moment is a summary of my extra curriculars and a "I really want to do this course" schpiel. .
