@sumudu I do but probably not enough. I came across this app called Udemy recently. It’s like Code Academy but they also offer courses on meditation and mindfulness. I figure that could be worth it too. I find it only happens while my mind isn’t occupied with other things. This is where playing video games and getting through my studies is making me feel normal.

@matigo 17+ hours in comfort? Yes please … otherwise nooooo. Also shave maybe three hours off that if it went from Brisbane, not so bad …
@matigo I agree. I hate the fact I have these anxiety/depression filled moments in my life now. I never thought I’d be plagued by mental health issues but here we are. I am happy I can use this platform to rant, even if it doesn’t happen that often.
Why is it that when everything starts to go smoothly something has to come along and mess it all up?
Living in a multi-generational house is not all it's cracked up to be (I feel like I should write a blog on it) but for now I'll stick to the short version. Long story short, I can't wait until the new house build starts (if it even goes ahead - I won't know that for another few weeks yet).
This whole us against them is doing my head in. You've got the three of us (me, my mum and my nan) and the two of them (my uncle and my cousin). We (us) try our best to keep the household running and they (them) do everything to mess it all up, by keeping their head in the sand (my uncle) and be completely oblivious to everything around them (my cousin).
The anxiety I feel while I'm in this house is at an all time high. All the time. I seem to do very well to mask it though, which probably isn't at all good for me. The only way I can deal with this is being in my happy place, in my bedroom with YouTube and video games.
I'm sorry for the rant but I just needed to get it out before the weekend otherwise it's going to do my head in. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to play Horizon Zero Dawn for a while.
@matigo I’m not sure yet. The stand is adjustable but from the images it doesn’t look ridiculously high. I do have a Bluetooth keyboard I can use if it becomes an issue though.
Well, that’s two assessments for my course units complete so far. Now back to figuring out where I’m up to in both units. That’ll be my day tomorrow I think.
On the up side I’ve just bought a stand for my MacBook and my iPad in an attempt to make my study area just that little bit better. Since I don’t have a dedicated desk space of my own, I’m using the nook between the lounge area and kitchen. With the stands it’ll make it so I can use my iPad as a 2nd screen and so both screens will be at eye level.
I had an interesting thought today. As soon as I started to study again the job offers would start to come thick as fast. Well, two interviews this week and waiting on another job that wants someone to start this week with no face to face interview. This could get interesting.
@tomas Yeah, I am. I'm improving my skills as well as keeping all the negative thoughts at bay. I figure it's a win-win. How have you been lately?
@matigo Doing my Accounting Diploma again. Well I call it again but when you never got the piece of paper the first time it doesn't really classify as again … or does it?
