Structure

...See more Hi.  I didn't know whether or not i should post it but i really need some information or guides or something i can read.  Is it normal to crave punishment? So I was abused as a child, lived with 4 different families and grew up in a children's home. I just have this desire so much for rules and consequences. Maybe I didn't have enough structure as a child? Is there any exercise or something i can read that will stop me from asking people to be strict with me. Kind regards.

...See more I have no motivation to start my studies and I almost feel like I need someone to push me si hard to do it..I do have ADHD but seriously why can't I just overcome it and get stuff done like normal people. I need all the accountability to finish this. I just don't feel like doing it but I don't want to fail.

...See more I am just going to post. I joined this but I haven't really checked in or anything but I don't even feel motivated to check in. So I'm not sure what would be the best way to ask for guidance or anything but I can't start my assignments. It always look so overwhelming and alot that I procrastinate until the last hour or mins even.. I then realised it won't be done perfectly and I have got no marks for it before.  I do have ADHD and I am trying so hard but the motivation just isn't there.  So I don't really know where to start. Every small thing feel hard plus I'm writing this now again because I'm frustrated with myself for having a long assignment due tonight and I want to leave it because there's no way it'll look good.  Our lectures doesn't really accept late assignments.  Regards, Novel.

...See more Hi, I hope it's ok to post this here. I have been trying to find a listener to speak to about truama but I am struggling to find one. Any suggestions? There are a few listeners who accepted my request and some left after like 10 mins of chatting and the others were rude. Or trying to connect to 10 diff listeners. Their status that are green but no one seems available. I only come here to vent, so I just want to speak to someone that won't be hurtful. I know that there are good listeners too. I just don't want to continue searching and end up with listeners not being kind. Thank you :)
