You mean “Ethical Information and Communication Technologies for Development Solutions”
This is my second one, the portfolio is easy, I have to set up a CV and such crap
but the assignment itself - the one I asked about in another thread - I am lost and I am struggling to motivate myself.
This family drama has affected more than I realised and I am exhausted mentally and emotionally and even physically

Oh damn, I missed the exciting end of thread 2.0.

There was furious innuendo. I feel like this thread series needs to be renamed.
It was “Off Beat”, but I got vetoed.

Sorry to hear that, @Wyvern. I know what that feels like. Don’t have any great advice to offer, I’m afraid, except what I was given at the time:
(Hopefully that cheers you up a little 
. Seriously, though, consider seeing a counsellor or clinical psychologist or something. If you’re on medical aid, you should be able to get 10 fully-paid sessions per year, and if you go to a decent therapist they’ll know how to apply for those for you.)

I will be ok, the borderlands sessions are helping.
It is just more a case of not having much me time at the moment. Its the constant doing of everything - I don’t mind at all helping mum, I can play caregiver with ease.
Its dad that I am getting mad at. He is in such a headspace and taking it out on me because it is convenient. I mean I never touch the tv remote - they somehow broke is (explora remote that has stopped working - water damage) and somehow it is my fault. And his reaction when I tell him I will stand up and change the channel for him every 5mins like he does with the remote was not taken well.

Sounds like he also needs a councillor. I mean that seriously, not facetiously. Like, when you are confronted with the possibility of losing your life partner I can’t even imagine how that changes you.
Not sure how you could convince him to go to one, but he really should. With your mom, but only if she is able.

She is able, she is mobile, and doing a lot better. He just wont - I have been trying for the past 10 years to get him to see someone. He felt the last person he saw 20 years ago didnt help so why should he go again.
He is just not coping. I have adjusted, and am good otherwise. It is just frustrating because I now know how little he supported my mum in general - crap he is always bored but wont bother to play with the dogs, pick up their poo or even feed them - we have to do it all - from cooking and cleaning to anything else. He is literally the only reason I am struggling.
I get about max 2 hours a day for just me - and then he wakes up at 2am and wakes me again

Yeah… I’m not a doctor or anything, but it sounds like he’s stuck in an ennui spiral due to depression. He definitely needs treatment.
I know a really good lady in Pretoria, if you’re interested. She doesn’t coddle you, tells you straight when you’re full of shit and helps you work through it. She also won’t put you on meds because it’s an easy way out — only if it’s the best treatment.
EDIT: Right! Credentials! She’s a medical doctor (GP) and psychologist. So you’re not getting any hocus pocus.
Let me know.

Thanks it is appreciated, my Aunt is a doctor and have tried to get him to someone.
One day I will just have him committed involuntary.

That would scare me awake every morning when I boot up.
Was looking for a minimalist, dark wallpaper - this piqued my interest the most.

My minimalist dark wallpaper would be just black.

Fair enough.
Black and Green are my favourite colours, so any minimalist enough using those colours is fine by me.
I like something that’s different from just having a solid black background.
i see Rip Torn has died
