Maybe a psychology degree gave me more insight, anyway, no idea why responding to inane comments

Really?

That's not reflected in your responses - YOU are the only one to blame for the 'escalation' on this thread.

You perceived negativity where none was proffered - the phrase 'physician heal thyself' springs to mind.

Self reflection would be wise.

Oh sorry, never thought of self reflection, damn me, what is that?

Hope you have all got your thread bullying fix, moderator can this be closed down please?

what my daughter is doing with her first class degree is none of your business, is it?

If you are looking for advice on what to do with your first class degree in psychology, then surely the best person to ask would be someone else with a first class degree in psychology.

That seems obvious even to someone without a first class degree in psychology

I don't see the responses you have received as bullying, but rather posters being perplexed at your quite random posts.

I also must have read a different thread, majority of the replies were well done, congrats etc, only a couple of posts upset/annoyed the OP.

What a pity you focused on justifying your degree rather than answering to the posts that some people bothered to write to help you. It's all well going on about how horrible people are, but ignoring those who were trying to help is not really forum friendly either.

I really haven't seen any bullying on here. Most people congratulated you and made suggestions as to how you could move forward. It is worrying that you only focused on what you perceived as negative posts. That is not taking a balanced approach. Nor is crying when being advised by an academic.

Without wishing to offend and coming from an MH perspective, are you sure you are quite well at the moment? It may be an idea to re visit your GP and explain how you are feeling. It could be that now you have lost the focus of the degree work it has removed some of the stability and equilibrium from your life. Voids like that are often filled with negativity and doubt in those who are susceptible.

When you have regained perspective then you can really re focus and consider your options. Given your responses on here and your admission that you are unhappy, I don't think that you are yet in a place to make considered long term decisions.

None of the above is a criticism, judging from the details you gave in your OP and elsewhere in the thread you have a lot of issues to contend with and some breathing space may be needed.

Good luck Op.

You just don't get it, do you?

Has anyone ever suggested that you seek treatment for autistic spectrum disorders?

Haaaaaahahaha that made me chuckle (I'm in a good mood today), got anything else?

At the end of the day, it dors not really matter does it. I have academic advice, have had no advice from my original question on here, what a joke some of you are.

That's untrue. Many people have advised you as to whether you have anything to contribute to the workplace, including myself.

You have chosen to enter into arguments rather than considering and responding to those who have taken the trouble to try to help you, and have been very discourteous, making threats and unfounded accusations, boasting of your success, criticising the forum, and using sarcasm to passively aggressively attack other people here.

You are an intelligent and articulate woman, claiming a high level of insight into human behaviour. Given this, I don't feel that your vulnerability and MH issues excuse your lack of manners.

I agree, completely, but did say earlier in the thread I had done it 'despite' a breakdown, helped by mental health services.
