Honestly, if you've not had medical-based trauma and complex, chronic illness, it probably seems like nothing that the colonoscopy failed today. But it has shaken my frail mental health and I'm struggling in multiple ways due to it.

Bowel prep day tomorrow. The worst of days. Working right up to it, as well, so I can't even take it as an enforced rest day.

Sometimes people are just kind, and that is the best. I've had a down evening that has been massively brightened.

Uni emailed me yesterday, demanding thousands of pounds of "outstanding" fees by Monday or I'd be kicked off the course. Turns out, they just hadn't bothered requesting them from Student Finance! Cue a very stressed 24 hours - just received this email. I want to send a stroppy reply.

Ok, stupid question time: what's your favourite filling snack on the go? I'm a fruit bat when at home but it just doesn't cut it on break on placement as I'm starving again within the hour. Weird and wonderful suggestions also accepted!

Thank goodness, after some assertive emails last night and this morning, my presentation grade has now been released: 67. I have no idea WTF that module lead is on, other than just trying to exert a last bit of control to cause misery?!

Someone who lives with chronic and debilitating pain doesn’t need a referral for CBT.
They need effective methods of pain relief, and prompt investigations to see if the cause(s) of their pain can be better managed or treated.

So tired that I don't know what to do with myself again. I really need some post-placement strategies but I'm ****ed if I know what those should be right now. So I will just lay in my bed, with my hot water bottle and cats, and hope sleep comes because bot do O need it.
