Hey everyone,
I'm Rosie, 29, from the UK. What brought me here was my looking for an escape from my degree program.
A little about me if you're interested. I'm currently a second year podiatry student. I missed my exams due to my Dad's illness. I don't know if I'm going back because I'm completely ambivalent about the course and the establishment. Despite my uncertainty throughout the course, I kept on giving it a chance because I simply feared not knowing what else to do. At the age of 29 I "should" have my shit sorted by now. A stupid expectation I know. I feared if I quit I'd be back to square one and have to get another menial job. TMFL inspired me.
I finished TMFL a few weeks ago and have been reading through the forum ever since. Thank you to each and every one of you for your generosity and knowledge. I know I'm onto a good thing.
My only problem now is me. I have been paralysed by not knowing what to do first and have been piling an insane amount of pressure on myself. I get upset and beat myself up when I don't deliver. How can I deliver when the expectations are so high?! I also have little self belief. This is a massive obstacle and I know I need to start believing in me or I'll get nowhere.
Time and again I have seen on posts here about simply starting by helping others. I'm going to do this, ease up on myself a bit and see how things unfold.
Look forward to getting to know you all
