Thank you so much for replying and sharing bits of your story. Your explanation was very helpful - I am going to look more into it as I don't understand why I can't retain info or think straight sometimes. Some days I am ok, other days I can't remember a thing or do a thing. It is frustrating...

Thanks so much for replying to my message - I appreciate it very much. I went and bought a bunch of sticky notes like you suggested. Made me feel a lot better knowing you understand!! Thank you for offering a listening ear. hugs back. <3

Hi all, Having a lost day today. It all was set off because I couldn't find a letter with a fine I need to pay by tomorrow. I had a breakdown because I feel like I'm not functioning properly as an adult. I can't remember lots of things and I literally feel like I don't have the capacity to...

happy that u gained something from it :)

I entered a cult at 17 and left when I was 22. It was very brainwashing. I was vulnerable and looking for a community of people to connect with. It ended up being extremely abusive and controlling. I had an exorcism performed on me too and we were constantly publicly humiliated. I try to block...

Thanks so much :) I hope u can find work that u feel passionately about! It sucks that you hate it there but I'm sure you will find opportunities that suit you better in time. Again, thank u for the msg!!

I understand! I have dealt with this severely too. I used to not be able to leave the house at all and now when I am triggered I am the same. I remember driving to uni and not being able to leave my car or going straight from my car to the bathroom not being able to go to my lecture and then...

That is so amazing and inspiring. Thank you for letting me know. It gives me a lot of hope!! Are you working now? Does your DID affect your work as much as it did with your study?

That's no good!! I was given info on simple ways to get present. This might not help but I thought I would share anyway. Sound is important for me to get back to reality so listening to lectures is best for me rather than reading text books. When I have to read, focusing on noises can help...

I thought I was the only one who found uni very difficult!! Thanks for your response. I study online in order to avoid going to campus and getting triggered. But I still disassociate a lot, which makes it very hard. How long have u got left? Good on u for continuing on. It takes a lot of...

Thank you!! I will most definitely contact the uni to see what support they offer. Appreciate your time to reply!

Thank you so much for replying. It's really encouraging to hear that your university is supportive and understanding. I just assumed I was not very studious or wasn't trying hard enough. I feel relieved to know that you have had support. Very sorry to hear you are spiralling. <3 I understand.

Thank you so much for responding. This makes me feel a lot better knowing there are people who understand. I have recently been doing summer school and I am past the withdrawal dates but I just can't cope with catching up with two subjects. I had some pretty bad nightmares that threw me off for...

Thanks for replying!! I will look into it. I am happy to hear that other people have successfully gotten through their degrees like yourself. Did the medication significantly help you?

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum. I have been trying to get my degree for 4 years now and had also tried to get a degree when I was younger but dropped out. I thought it was because I wasn't passionate about my first course but it's actually more to do with not being able to cope with...
