- lost my job


- kicked out of uni

Maybe pdoc can do something. You were not functioning at a competent level due to medication side effects. What went on with school is evidence of that. If a doctor tells them you were compromised psychologically and emotionally and physically due to side effects from a med dosage change can't that change things?

- guy i was semi-involved with told me he still wants his ex, and would go back to her if she said yes. he intends on sending her email to make sure she is still ok with her decision to break up. he'd come over to make sure i was ok after the uni fallout. i told him i needed to feel like a worthwhile person and that i wouldn't do anything that night but could he please stay anyway. he decided to leave. lesson learnt = deli only good for sex.

Well, he and his feelings for his ex have nothing to do with you. That he left you alone shows what a low-rent/dirtbag/waste of space he is. A decent guy with the history you two have recently would've stayed. His behavior isn't a comment on you, it's all about him.

- i dont really have a family anymore. they've been doing all these things without inviting me; things i would've thought maybe someone would have asked me if i wanted to be involved in. the temptation for me would be to return home right now, but ive just realised i dont really have a home to return to anymore.

That is a comment about their inability to accept your identity as an independent individual. Some others of us have/had bad family siutations/estrangement. A hallmark of a troubled familiy is that they put down or reject anyone trying to become independent and not live according to dysfunctional "rules" and arrangements. It's not you, it's them.

- housemate going away over weekend.

Are there any other friends you can stay with or have stay with you?
