Here it is, 4 in the morning and I'm downstairs awake having a cow with worry about my uni assignments, life, work, everything. Mainly stress as I've got loads of uni work and exams coming up and it's all getting too much.
Can't sleep, down here drinking coffee and fretting. Have major mental block about my latest essay which has to be in next week and am having trouble with the rest of the sh1t as well. I would jack it all in if it wasn't for the fact I don't want to do nursing for the rest of my life.
Why do things always seem so bad at this time of the morning?:( How can I get a more optimistic view of everything and stop getting in a state?

Hi Mrs R :)
I went through similar a couple of years back, I was going to jack in every time I had an assignment to do, I could never get an essay together it was a nightmare, i got through it though and passed . the difficulty and stress is what makes the end result all the more important, you will look back and feel such a sense of achievement, if it was easy it wouldn't be credible.
Just hang in there and think however long you have left to study is nothing compared to the rest of your life.

just think as well you are on the home run on the course

is it weather orientated as well, most get winter downs as well, maybe even SAD maybe worth getting a Lightbox to help lift you

Ya daft 'nana!! :D

Don't worry lass - everything's OK, just got to get yerself motivated. Maybe it is one of those SAD things - there is a lightbox in the shed - it might work. Stick the stereo on LOUD so you can hear it in the sunroom, bit of Iron Maiden or whatever and let rip!!

Procrastination is the route of all... erm what bollox am I spouting this week :D . Must be because of there being no coffee in the house :( (?)

Guys, we need your help... every time you see Mrs R on the forum (at least until next monday (during the day mainly) can you all please help her out by shouting 'DO YOUR ESSAY!!'

It's Psychology so no wonder she can't get sorted - quite why it's in Podiatry I'll never know! once it's out of the way a load should be lifted! I wonder if Ewokandtuck Enterprises have a psychology manual? then again, best not!!

We do have a manual, the Psychology of feet and how to sort out Miserable Bastard Big Toes. Helps your feet think, instead of stink. Thinking on your feet is a good thing in business.

Mind you depressed peeps can overstate their symptoms, so I suppose it would help to know that someone really does have dodgy plates instead of depression or loneliness!

Hi Mrs R, I been through the same **** an if I can do it ANYBODY can! :p So dont be despondant! I would recomend a book for studying and stuff! USE YOUR HEAD by Tony Buzzan. Helped me a lot! Bye the way.........I`d be careful about using St Johns wort! It can cause severe astmah in some people! It`s a histomine agonist and has been known to produce anaphalectic shock with some folks! Anyway! best o luck! :o

Don't think about the details first. Write a brief outline of the essay, ie the main points of what you want to convey in it. Then expand the points. If you can't figure out the points, try doing a simple crossword or puzzle to get your brain working and focus your mind.

what are the main points of what you want to convey in it.

I want to convey that hardcore psychosocial theories as they relate to cutting toenails are a complete waste of my time and total and utter crap. I'm a podiatrist not a flippin' psychologist and I find the whole subject tedious in the extreme. NHS podiatrists are given 20 minutes per patient to sort out their problem however complicated, where am I supposed to fit in a psychosocial evaluation and have time to listen to the patient's problems and sort out their social lives for them - it's not going to happen is it?
It's total bollocks and it makes me really cross. I've been working on this all day and I'm doing my nut - brief forum interlude then back to work!!!!! :(
Same in nursing, lots of fancy theories about what we are supposed to be doing all of which are totally impractical!

Ahhh! Mrs R! Me thinks they are wanting a holistic assessment rather than going into cognative behavioural therapy interventions! Psychosocial interventions can be applied to general nursing in a very broad sense but, as you point out, not really applicable for specific phisical treatments. I think they are looking for you to incorporate a holistic view to your assessments i.e. what is causing the person to have foot trouble as opposed to just treating the problem as it presents to you. Erm.......like a young well dressed girl with bad corns! Shes probably always trying to get her feet into uncomfortable fassion shoes and you need to talk to her about her life style as well as how to treat the corns. I think they want you to show that you are looking at the big picture, thats were the psychosocial stuff applies! :o

I can see how it might be useful in some respects like above example but they are asking me to re-gurgitate Black's report et al and go into all the theories of inequalities in health. Ff's, when am I ever going to need them - I'm starting up a small country practice in as wealthy an area I can find and the only thing I want to know is whether they can afford my exhorbitant prices (well I think I deserve it after 22 years as an NHS nurse!)
Hmmmmm...I wonder if messrs Ewok and Tuck need a podiatrist to work for them, I am ruthless and cunning and quite happy to rob the rich and give to ....me.:D

Poor lass keeled over with exhaustion after her flu last night - I ended up driving home after she picked me up from work.

Progress has been made on the essay though!! :D

Keep it up guys - it's a bit like those old Guiness adverts with Angus Deayton "Friends of the Guinless!"

Yep! We can go for that, may even let you keep a little for your rent (otherwise we will evict you). Can you do Podiatry from a cardboard box?

Mitch! (cos Mrs R won't be on here, she'll be doing her essay)

Number one - Tell Mrs R not to drink coffee when she cant sleep. Or if she has to drink coffee, drink decaf - in fact, in order NOT to have sleepless moments, drink decaf all the time (I'm an expert on sleeplessness, so i'm tellin ya!)

Number two - tell her to get some Bach 'Rescue Remedy' and use as directed in moments of despair cos it really REALLY works!

Number three - tell her to find an essay on the net and regurgitate it in her own words ............ mm, no better not tell her that but...........
