I'm currently planning on taking a day trip from London to Oxford but I believe exam season is going on late May.
Are any of the colleges open to tourists or are they pretty much all closed?
I'm planning on visiting Cambridge later this month but I've learned that a lot of colleges are closed to due to examinations. Is this true for pretty much all colleges?
Is it still possible to visit some colleges or would it not be worth it?
I've been in therapy for about 5 years now and I think I've just hit a dead end in my progress.
I feel like I've exhausted all I can do in therapy, especially on an emotional level. When I started therapy I was unemployed and struggling with depression. Now I am employed and function better but I still feel pretty sad about my life as I don't make a lot of money and I don't have a fulfilling personal life.
RN I'm at a point where I don't feel like there is much I can do outside of therapy to make therapy work since I'm struggling with recovering from a back injury and I failed at pursuing any worthwhile career.
ATM I think I'm done just because I don't even see anything left to pursue in life. I don't have it in me to keep pursuing or the ability to take the necessary steps to make progress outside of therapy.
I'll try to keep this concise. I'm 30 and things have not gone especially well for me. I'm currently stuck working a low level office job and living at my mom's house.
Didn't make the right choices in university, haven't had much luck on in my career. The careers I actually want to do I've either outright failed at and can no longer pursue or I can't get the necessary education for. I know it's a harsh reality that I don't have a future and I don't want to argue that point.
I know I don't have a serious future. How do I accept that I don't have one and where do I go from here?
I'm 30 and my life has been extremely disappointing. I'm unable to advance past a low paying office job that I've been at for the last 4 years. I live at my mom's house because I don't make enough money to move out and have never owned a car.
My career goals are completely dead now. I hate living in Canada. I can't get a decent job to save my life. Can't really afford to go back to school either.
My family is very dysfunctional and broke my confidence. Therapy doesn't help.
Looking back, I think I'd be A LOT happier if I didn't try too hard and didn't expect much with my only goals being owning a used Honda Civic and a little bit of travel. I'm so tired of life disappointing me.
DAE regret having dreams? I feel like I never stood a shot and having dreams was cruel.
Now that I'm hit my early 30s, it's dawning on me that I deeply regret ever having any real dreams or aspirations in life. I never stood much of a shot of ever achieving them and now I feel awful about life and quite lost.
For some context, I grew up in an extremely dysfunctional family and have a controlling mother who often discouraged me from pursuing better careers or schooling opportunities.
Failed at getting a decent job in a field I wanted. Currently stuck in a low paying desk job without a car. I'm in Ontario, Canada too. Things are quite expensive here and it's hard very back to school for something useful.
I regret having dreams or aspirations because I achieved very little and now have to live with being a huge disappointment to myself with no serious future. It would've been easier to have few expectations rather than face a life I never thought I'd have to live. Life sucks and everything in my adult life was based on a lie.
