EDIT- It seems I wasn’t clear (sorry I find it hard to explain) I have done my essay and it’s ready to hand in :) I still have over a week! So I thought I’d just reach out and try expand my learning by asking for help.
I copied and pasted my brief at the end - this is not AI.
I will never use AI.

Hey everyone hope you are well :)
I have been given this essay - the question is **what are the purposes of education.**
We have been given Harry Brighouse as framework but we have been told we can use other things.
Me being me I am now exploring the idea of using someone else.
But who…?
I want to definitely use personal flourishing, but I don’t know what others I could use with that, not Harry brighouse.
My problem is I am only first year, I’ve had health issues restricting me and I really wanna do my best!!!!
I can’t find a purpose that connects and has all the criteria needed 😩
I have copied and pasted some key information from it I think it’s the fact it’s using big words I’m not used to 🥲and the very end bit of ensuring it aligns ☹️

Key Guidance:
• Choose two to four purposes of education to focus your discussion (e.g., educating for autonomy, economic participation, citizenship, personal flourishing).
• Contrast your chosen purposes to highlight their differing priorities and implications.
• Structure:
• Introduction:
• Define "purpose of education" and outline the purposes you will examine.
• Main Body:
• Explore each purpose in depth, drawing on academic theories and historical or contemporary examples.
• Discuss the strengths and limitations of each purpose, drawing on relevant examples and perspectives.
• Conclusion:
• Summarise your findings and evaluate the competing claims of the different purposes.

The Brief's Wording:
\^
Students have flexibility in selecting purposes of education.
\* Choices must be supported by historical, sociological, and philosophical perspectives.
\* Brighouse's Aims as a Starting Point:
Brighouse's framework Work, Citizenship, Autonomy, and Flourishing) provides a strong foundation.
\* However, this is not restrictive-students may explore other educational purposes.
• Alternative choices must be. theoretically justified and critically analysed.
Tip: If selecting an alternative purpose, ensure
it aligns with the assignment's analytical approach and is supported by academic literature.

hey everyone hope you are well!

kinda looking for advice/ similar experiences really,

In July 2025 I got diagnosed with ADHD

In December 2025 I got diagnosed with BPD

December I started Concerta and it was terrible! Just didn’t agree with me I felt NOTHING, not even the side effects of a dry mouth or anything! Just around 7pm I would be on the floor sobbing uncontrollably.

I then changed to Elvanse (I’m still on that) but working on it
20mg- great for a few days then stopped working
30mg- great for a few days then stopped working
40mg - amazing for a couple weeks then nothing
50mg - amazing for a couple weeks then nothing
60mg- good for two days then bad effects such as isolating myself.
So I went back to try the 40 and 50 again and found 50 better - still not 100% so I have 10mg amfexa (can up if need but not sure by how much)

So I’m currently on 50 but struggling
~extreme tiredness
~dip around 7/8pm can’t keep eyes open
~can feel flat
~today it dipped around 12:30pm??
~irritability
~talking feels like a chore
~prefer alone time
~ im here and can talk but don’t want to/ can’t? My eyes burn

I’m finding it so hard on what to do- I’m just wanting advice

I’ve also just changed contraceptive pills to Yasmin as I also have possible PMDD.
I’m on lamotrigine 150mg

I’m wondering if it’s a dose issue - hormones - BPD - wrong meds??? I’m so lost and feel so alone no one gets it.

50 was great but now it’s not and I really am wary of the methylphenidate type now. I much prefer Elvanse I just want help.

Thank you for reading, wishing whoever is reading this happiness, good health and luck🫶🏼
