I think the most challenging time in my life was having to drop out of uni to llok after my mental health. it has been 2 years since then and I am still reeling from it. I am doing better mentally but it is an uphill battle trying to find a job with no qualifications and a history of mental health

Moving with my new husband to a place to far to visit family often. It made me much more independent and encouraged me and hubby to focus on each other and to be there for the other. Now life is better than ever and, although im closer to home again, it means we have our own lives but I value being so close to those that I love!

Going to school full-time at a university and working retail part-time on the weekends has been extremely life-changing for me and has been tough to get adjusted to.

Soon to get my PhD, and I am pregnant again. I do not have time to get bored.

The most challenging time in my life was last January when I had my second ectopic pregnancy. Unlike the first pregnancy, which resolved itself, this one ruptured in my tube. I had to have my fallopian tube removed, nearly bled to death on the operating table and was in a seriously bad way mentally and physically afterwards. As ‘sob story’ as that is, at least I’m here to try again because so many women don’t make it through ectopic pregnancy, so that’s my positive. I don’t know if I believe in fate or not, and I don’t know if I’ll ever be a mum, but I know as long as hope exists, I’ll keep trying. What else can you do?!

The most challenging time in my life is this September. We have to pass our thesis output and documentation (we made a 3d animated film) 2 weeks ago. It was super duper stressful! But now, we are 90% done. We just need to have an editor check it. Fortunately, we passed our oral defense and I’m hopefully graduating next year!!! Yahooooo!

Starting my first full time job! It was a shock only having 4 weeks holiday every year compared to being a student! X

The most challenging/life-changing experience of my life so far has to be, well…what’s going on right now. After suffering from depression, anxiety, anorexia and obsessive compulsive disorder for twelve years of my life (I’m 23), I’ve decided to take a big step and get some serious treatment. Of course, I have had treatment before (counselling, psychologist/psychiatrist apps, a brush with CBT – though none have been successful) but I have decided to go down the rehabilitation route and admit myself into hospital for a long-term period. I’ve been trapped and held back by my illnesses for so many years now and I’ve finally realised something, and it’s taken me such a long time to get to this point – that what I’m ‘living’ is no ‘life’ and I NEED to get better. I’m terrified and stressed out and worried by what I’m going to do, but I can’t go on like this anymore. Sorry that this is so melancholy, but I’m just being honest! And it’s 1.15am so my head is all over the place…

I’ve learned to calm down about things. I turned 42 and being anxiety-ridden wasn’t helping.

The most life changing event in my life was delivering my children. In the beginning the thought of going through child birth filled me with trepidation and dread. I was very frightened by the physical pain other mothers have been through. But as the months went by I started to look forward to holding the bundle of joy in my arms and cuddle it because I can feel him growing and communicating with me in my womb. I began to look forward to the day when I can see my son physically and hug and hold him. The joy of meeting with him for the first time took away the pain of childbirth. I have gone through two pregnancies and would gladly do it again.

My most life changing event would be graduating from university. I’m still trying to find a job that I love and contemplating whether I should go to grad school.
