Starting university


I haven't posted for ages, because I've been paralysed with terror. I mean, I'm starting uni. Strangely enough, I have been far more apprehensive about this than I was when I was being sectioned. But then, university is full of people. And I still sometimes find people scary. I used to have quite bad anxiety/panic attacks when I was 13/14 (quote my best friend "Remember that time you freaked out in the locker room?) and occasionally it seems to resurface. But that's what books and earphones are for. Hey, people, I know I'm sitting in the Student's Union looking like a loner with only a caramel latte to keep me company, but see, I'm reading a book and listening to music. I'm not a loner, really, I'm just very independant and so self-sufficient that I'm not afraid of my own company. Also, so far, finding my way around hasn't been too awful. I'm a bit worried about class times, because obviously DD is my main priority. I want to be there for her,and I don't want her to be insecure or unhappy. She's growing up really fast: she chose, in her own time, to come out of nappies. In two weeks, we've only had one accident. Just proves that children need to do things in their own time, and all the "Is that child STILL in nappies?" whingers can GTF.

Just wanted to wish you lots of luck with your uni course; I'm sure you'll feel at home there in no time. I can completely understand your Union scenerio! Well done to your little girl too on leaving the nappies behind; children certainly do everything in their own time when they're ready (Henry is working on this at the 'grand' old age of 3) xx
