Keeping Calm and Cavying on at uni

Found this accurate description of life today whilst in town:

What I'm grateful for today
That I managed to buy a load of men's shirts for only £8 because I know all the best charity shop locations

A random act of kindness I've done
A girl dropped her credit card and didn't realise and kept walking so I picked it up and sprinted after her to give it her back

A random act of kindness someone has done for me
My housemate asked to see my art and said it was amazing

Something I could improve on
Hating myself less I guess

What I've achieved today/Things I did well
Did loads. Woke up at 7am cos been falling asleep at 8pm lately. Decided to get up, got a shower, phoned the people at the CMHT place to arrange a time for when I am not on Christmas holiday and not here, finished the morph board work, submitted my first report to Turnitin, started the drawings for the second report (think those ones are the best ones I've done so far) then walked down to do group work in he library.

What I've done to look after my mental health
Sleeping a lot I guess. Been having loads of nightmares though so meh

Something I have to look forward to
Going home and actually having a washing machine to wash clothes in

Thanks guys sorry am just lacking confidence atm more so than usual
thanks for always being supportive

What an incredible list of achievements for one day. Lots of positives there. Give yourself a huge pat on the back. Love the idea that you are looking forward to your washing machine.

You don't need to apologise for lacking confidence.

Who wouldn't be supportive?! Only fools in my views. It is a natural human instinct to be nice to people. It's just that society trains people to be mean to each other. But I resist. I share the love.

Sounds like a grate day.

Nice one Cavy! Glad you got great compliments about your artwork - very well deserved, I'm sure And well done on phoning CMHT. I avoid phoning people like the plague, so think that's a huge achievement among man achievements today

*everything you've said*

Keep on cavvying

thank you and lmao yes have such dry hands from all the hand washing of clothes


Thanks MR wish more people shared that sentiment



grate?
we need some cheese to grate



thank you TLG and yes my heart was pounding tbh hope you are well

What I'm grateful for today
That my body gives out so much heat. Is usually annoying cos i blush easily but is handy in winter

A random act of kindness I've done
dont really know, told someone i would miss them i suppose. Is true tbh, they are a decent person and is sad they are leaving

A random act of kindness someone has done for me
Someone told me that i should never change cos im nice as i am. Considering i think im perpetually a half baked cake in the oven it's nice that they think that im almost fully baked.

Something I could improve on
Not letting stuff get under my skin. Someone said something yesterday and has been kind of gnawing at me

What I've achieved today/Things I did well
Did the work i needed to do in good time. Consequently am sat in bed resting. Could be doing the rest of my second report but am tired

What I've done to look after my mental health
Went to sleep at 9pm last night. Not that it was really worth it for the subsequent dreams but eh

Something I have to look forward to
Potentially getting a shower if i can be bothered

Um no
No we don't
Hope Ur doing ok Cavsicle proud of u x

it has taken u 9 pages to get here unforgivable

What I'm grateful for today
Zebra crossings. Never knew they were a thing until i came here but i love them. Love making drivers stop i feel so powerful. Plus i hate drivers anyway, they are so selfish half the time, never let you go when its pouring down because it would inconvenience them by 2 seconds, or splash you with puddles or honk at you to freak you out etc etc. Yes i like this new found power

A random act of kindness I've done
dont know

A random act of kindness someone has done for me
dont know that either, dont feel very wanted or cared about tbh

Something I could improve on
keeping my room clean

What I've achieved today/Things I did well
nothing really

What I've done to look after my mental health
seeing the nurse at half 7 tonight :/

Something I have to look forward to
Seeing my pets in 2 weeks

dont feel very wanted or cared about tbh

YES CAV OMG U GO GURL
U walk zat zebrah crossing like ze catwalk and u walk it good
Right in their lil driving a car faces u do it
Cav we care

Ly Cav we can do this

Good luck with seeing your nurse

know a handful of people on here do just wish i was less lonely inrl :/ did try socities and stuff but they were either too much commitment/energy with everything else going on or hardly met at all and most things are like specific categories like the 'christian soc' or whatever that i dont fit into
just sit in my room all day feeling depressed. Unless i have uni which uses all my energy just to get there. Think the fire drill yesterday was the most amount of time i've seen everyone together. But then i also need a load of time alone to recharge because keeping a non-depressed mask on all day around people is exhausting
oh well.

I've been there too. You made some acquaintances at the start of the year?
