I started the day feeling overwhelmed that people not only read my blogs, they responded too, to be totally honest i dint realise that any one would notice but as i say I'm happy they have.

I really am an old fashioned man brought up with old fashioned values, so when it come to tech, I'm not the chewiest cookie in the pack, if any thing i am going through a detox and withdrawing from my smart phone 'because truly they are not that smart' It wont be long before I'm back to a basic Nokia that just rings in, out and does texts. My aim is to only use my laptop for the basics i.e.; OU, substance misuse groups and emails, I want my pre internet brain back and i fully intend to get it. 

This is a new phase for me, I'm actually feeling really good about my studies towards a degree, at first when I started my YO32 access module this year, because of a personal issue I had that really took over my mind set, I felt that I really struggled with YO32 and barley passed.

The first tutorial went fine and i learnt a great deal from it, there are instances where I am not reading articles properly which has led me too plastering my 3rd part of TMA01 on almost every thread apart from the one it is supposed to be on haha, I've asked the tutor if he can delete them, as it looks a bit trashy on my part.

I've just had my weekly video DBT (dialectical behaviour therapy) home work feed back session 'which mainly consist of emotional regulation, and compared to last one session I missed and the session before that, where I was a complete mess, I feel this session was a complete turn around, the Joys of CPTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and BPD (Borderline Personality Stress Disorder), its named BDP because it is on the boarder of a neurological and psychological disorder.

But all in all I am feeling really positive about this module, I'm sure it will change, as things do, I hope I have what it tales to make it through the change. I wish each and everybody the very best in their chosen endeavours and pray you have the strength to make it through the tough times.
