I have been suffering chronic fatigue for the past four years.
I am pretty good at hiding it most of the time.
but it is really hard sometimes.
today is one of the days when it is hard.
today i am going to a new place to start a new thing, which i’m totally excited about.
however, i’m also completely anxious.
i’m not comfortable going to a new place, being surrounded by new people, on my own.
its hard and scary and i feel like the stress of my anxiety is like the world crashing in on me.
its something so silly and small. I’m going to uni for course advisement.
but i’m really scared and anxious…why is it so hard?
and this is why they call me drama….

Just checking to see how you are going. Visited night church and noticed you were not there. Was not sure if you had moved on or moved back to FNC or were just not well. Uni is a great adventure – seize it. Get involved in more than your courses. Scary at first but it can open whole new worlds. It should challenge everything you believe and hopefully you will be stronger for the challenge. If you do not know what you want to teach try and decide what you want to study. Decide whether you are a science person or a humanities person. Do a science degree or an arts degree depending on the answer – if you are not sure then do an arts degree as you can do science subjects in that. Science at Uni is pretty intense – lots of small assessment tasks each week and you need to be there for pracs. If that is going to be difficult with CFS then go for the arts subjects that have bigger assessment tasks which you can cram at the last minute to do. Try and do one course in an area you have never studied but have been interested in (eg archeology sociology etc). That’s it for the gratuitous advice -let the adventure begin.

thanks Steve!
I don’t get any electives in my course, i’m doing primary teaching which just lets me choose subjects in a confined little system.
and actually, i don’t go to SWAC anymore.
i decided to look elsewhere for spiritual enlightenment for a while, still haven’t decided where i want to go, but i’m aiming at Leura Anglican.
thanks for all your advice and concern!
Godbless.
