My twin sister is working a full-time job, has a mortgage, and is productive each day. She has a degree that’s viable and going to get her somewhere in the world. But unfortunately, my first degree was in an interest area, which funnily enough, she started in it too. I did this degree with the plan of doing further study after, as it’s not very useful on its own unless you have a fuck ton of experience, and someone takes a chance on you from the beginning. I just wish I was a functioning human being. I’m so sick of feeling everything x 1000 and being exhausted from the second I wake up. Yeah doing a masters degree is supposed to be tough, but the level of stress I’m experiencing is unjustified. I think during my next therapy session, I will speak to them about strategies for tolerating discomfort. I am so lucky that I get to do this course, especially in a time where there is such a bigger focus on highlighting and solving inequities in this country than there has ever been.
