Yeah, they are coming over for the Aus ballet and the football. My dad goes for Carlton.
My mum is taking two days off, but she can build up flex time in her job if she works more then 7.5 hours. My dad doesn't work on a Friday unless he is at the hospital, which is casual, and his other job is part-time.
I am liking being in Melbourne, I've just started my new job, which is great, uni is good, met a heap of people. It's really just the depression side that is letting me down, @tyme.

How exciting! @Birdofparadise8 . Watching the Australian Ballet! (oh, and the footy) LOL.
Look, as hard and lonely as it can be sometimes, there ARE things to be grateful for. I'm so pleased you are enjoying your job. Well done on getting a job so soon! I also need to acknowledge the effort you've put in going out and meeting people.
Back then, if I were in your shoes, I'd probably lock myself in the room and that's it.
I'm really happy for you. Are you excited about your parents coming, or do you have some reservations because of the letter your dad found?

I am definitely grateful for everything, but there is just that part in me that doesn't care about anything at all.
I have had a couple of alright days and can feel I am already going into depression again.
No, I think it should be alright @tyme

I don't think I am making any progress @tyme.
I am so suicidal and sad all the time.
All good enjoy your break.

@Birdofparadise8, sometimes healing hurts. You go up and down.
Uni is hectic. I’m literally writing my assignment while listening to music depressing AF.
