This week uni has started for me. I haven't been able to get out of bed for classes due to the fact that my anxiety goes through the roof. It's my second year and don't really have friends at all and it's really making me feel like an outcast.

My advice would be to remind yourself that you are going to uni primarily to learn. Go to your classes and concentrate on the subject matter as much as you can rather than worrying about how pal-ed up everybody else seems to be. Don't let your education be taken away from you. Once you're able to get yourself going to classes reasonably often, then look around for anybody that looks a bit like you: maybe tends to sit alone, looking a bit isolated. Make a point of sitting next to the "loner" types - they often aren't really loners, they just haven't made any friends yet. You never know when you might strike up a conversation. As you've no-doubt noticed, groups form fairly early on and it can be hard to break into a group once they are formed. Your best bet would be to sit in the vicinity of other people who also don't have any social connections in your classes and lectures. You'll be doing both of you a favour! That's my suggestion, think it over. Hope you feel better soon.This week uni has started for me.

I take it you've looked into Alcoholics Anonymous? They aren't a suicide line. They do vary by chapter though, so if you don't hit it off at one, try another. If you don't like the religious angle, just ignore it and focus on the main principles. I've got a mate who quit drinking after 30 years as an alcoholic. AA did contribute to his recovery, no doubt.anything for alcoholics that don't want to call a suicide line?

Awesome man. Congrats.I resigned from my job today. It feels like a huge burden has been lifted. Start a new job on Monday
Awesome man. Congrats.
Mental illness often makes it many times harder to make good friendships. The first thing you should be focusing on is to get your mental health in order first before thinking of making lifelong buddies. Often your anxiety/illness would make you less confident in social surroundings, and often others will notice something "not right" about you when you're feeling anxious/depressed, and they tend to steer away from you. It's part of the human conditioning. The strong stay in packs, and the weak are left on their own to battle away their problems.This week uni has started for me.

As someone said, go to uni to learn. Get your education for your own benefit. Don't even concentrate on making friends. They will come at some stage.This week uni has started for me.

What’s up?As a regular here I just wanted to say I hope you are all well
Man, I'm not doing to well today
But we aren't alone eh
I'm a ******* mess tonightWhat’s up?
Hoping you got to spend time with your kids
If you aren't seeing a psych or someone then go to a Doctor, any Doctor, and tell them what's going on. They might give you some medication to help your anxiety, they might put you onto someone to talk through this stuff with. You have to get clarity on why you are at Uni, are you there to make friends or to get a degree? In my case I absolutely struggled with Uni, had to pay someone to do my last assignment because I couldn't concentrate for 5 mins straight. Between that last assignment and my exams I attempted suicide, now I see that I should have dropped out or deferred because I wasn't there to make friends or to get a degree - I was just there because I didn't know what else to do. I did get the degree but haven't even needed it in the 5 years since, you might be stressing over something that's not even importantThis week uni has started for me.

The ex is " come home"
The kids are " come home daddy"
How do you go back to abuse, cruelty, isolation,loneliness, being ignored, being used, being hit
It rips my heart out to say goodbye to my kids when I leave them
I'm not doing too good tonight
I feel like my head is in a vices**t not good. You still have to do what’s best for you. In doing so your doing the best thing for your kids imo.
Nobody is perfect, as much as it hurts, going back, sounds like a bad idea.

I have been extremely depressed since 2015. A few weeks ago I attempted suicide. It hasn't gotten much better since then.
I think Nugett is on the money with his comments - it sounds like your ex is trying to reel you back in for her own purposes, but you have to ask yourself, is any of it good for you? I think she knows you want more contact with your kids so she's going to push that family angle. But abuse and violence is a very serious thing - and unless she's getting therapy and admitting her problems, this will not end any different than it did the first time. If she hasn't changed, her behaviour will be the same. You don't want to be an enabler for her. You leaving was her wake up call - if she can't make changes and get some therapy after that, then she's either in denial or selfish or both (assuming she actually does want you back for emotional reasons). I don't know if you're wavering on this decision or not, but if you are at all tempted to go back, do make sure that there are some non-negotiables involved - the first of which needs to be that she admits she has anger and abuse issues and that she's going to get help for that. That's got to be a minimum requirement. If she can't do that, it's like she's saying what you went through was just fine and dandy and she doesn't respect your feelings.I'm a ******* mess tonight
