Scholarship!

[Aprella]

That is indeed great :D
Studying is extremely inexpensive in Belgium and everyone who cannot pay for it, gets a scholarship (the government decides if you can pay for it or not and how much get) so it's totally different here :)

Oh okay! My school is very expensive, which sucks, but like your country, I do get financial aid from the government, which pays all of my tuition anyways, so getting the scholarship will pay for my tuition and then I will get the financial aid money to keep for books, supplies, parking, food, clothes, saving to fulfill my dreams (I want to start my own nonprofit organization to help disadvantage women in my community), and all that stuff. So I will have more money each semester to help me help myself. If that makes sense.

My grandpa use to pay for my tuition in full, but he has Alzheimer's so I had to apply for financial aid.

The average cost of my tuition a semester is about $12,000.00-$15,000 USD, it goes up slightly each year too.

Fantastic news ashdawn!

It is incredible and reasuring to me that I may get to a place one day, where I can function again. I look forward to this day when I can do something other than exist and go to therapy.

Keep up the great work!

You are existing and you should be PROUD of yourself for making it to therapy. It wasn't so long ago where I was in that position. I know it is hard to see right now, but keep at the therapy and all the self care things, it does get better.

You will get there when you are ready, take your time, there is NO rush or anything wrong with you just going to therapy. A lot of people would not even have the courage to ask for that kind of help, and I know how hard it is asking for that help.

Don't ever give up on yourself, even on your darkest and weakest days.
