I am so hurt and devestated right now, I just want to share some. I just did a level three Diploma in Counselling skills, I applied to do the level four in counselling, this would of been the training to become a professional counsellor and I wasn't offered a place.

This really hurt, I did really well, I passed all the coursework, I didn't need any extensions, I felt I did so well and I put in so much effort. To not be able to progress, I just feel like I am a weaker candidate and that I just am not good enough. This is the part that hurts the most. No matter how much I try, how good I think I am, I just am not good enough. I question what do I have to do to be good enough, the thought that maybe I just can't be any better than I am is disheartening.

I know I have other opportunities that I can apply for, luckily I have a degree and I am applying for a post-graduate position in something, but the devestation that I can't continue on with what I really wanted to do, I actually thought I would be good at this, when everone around me says how "good" I am, something like this just shows me I am not. Which makes me not want to trust what other people say to me.

I had a direction and now i've lost it.
