Looking toward the Equinoxe de Printemps. Do you have things to do during the day?

@BK38
Yes, I've class 5 days a week, 7 hrs a day for French. I've got a test coming up in a month or so and I really don't think I'm going to pass it. I've got a consultation lined up with my psychiatrist on the 14th and also a specialist orthopaedic doc to look at my shoulder in preparation for a shoulder operation sometime this year. I'm just in a bad place mentally and very depressed, but I don't want to take anti-depressants or get sectioned because I tell my psychiatrist I'm suicidal. It will fuck all the work I've put into these French courses. I feel so trapped, lonely and just...dysfunctional.
 
@BK38 Are the French classes not enjoyable?
They can be alright, but at other times it's pretty much pure torture, especially on the writing side. It's less straightforward than even English somehow grammatically and it does my head in. I also struggle to memorize stuff because of the benzos, sweat/tremble uncontrollably sometimes and just get anxious af and frustrated with myself.
 
There's gotta be some sort of way to memorize things. I'm bad at memorizing random things but if you can attach the words to some other value or figure out a unique way to remember it might pop off. Don't give up @BK38 you're too valuable, smart person we need you ✊

Thanks man. I try and incorporate mnemonics to memorize stuff, but ngl, French is so all over the place that I struggle. Tbh, it's embarrassing I've been in FR so long and learnt so little. Only really studied the language for 4ish months I think? My language acquisition sucks compared to when I was younger.

Anyhow, thanks for the kind words bro. I'm going to try and keep keeping on. One day at a time.
