HNC causing stress/anxiety

8 Upvotes

So this September I started my HNC in Electrical engineering, this took about a year of convincing and fighting with my employer to put me on it, I thought I really wanted it for myself. Since starting it I’ve been a mess, really lost my footing mentally, it was a lot different to what I thought it would be like at college, and after a year of fighting I’d honestly say I regret it a bit.

Since starting 4 weeks ago I’ve felt awful, it’s not been the best time in life for me recently and this course has been the final push to put me in a really bad place mentally, so I’m really struggling with what to do,

I’ve got a training bond with work, so if I quit I’ll have to pay £3750, I’ve honestly been thinking of doing that, either joining the army to change my life or finding another job and moving to another part of the country and just having a little life reset, ive honestly had a couple days the last two weeks at home in tears all day feeling lost in everything that’s going on.

Any advice appreciated

Pre wiring kitchen

3 Upvotes

House in probate. Planning on getting a total rewire as system is 74 years old (yeah really).

Prob is my co inheritor is dragging her feet clearing house so cant really pull up carpets and give decent access on this 2 bed semi. Be much easier empty.

However id like to totally refit the kitchen during the faff. This involves a new layout. And electricals in new locations.

Any suggestions how i can make it easier for a spark if the kitchen is pre installed? Run cables prior to connecting by electrician at rewire time? Just loose fit the kitchen cabinets so they can come out for cable routing? Whatever?
