Sorry to hear you're going through a rough patch!

Good luck with the exam tomorrow, you got this!

I kinda fell back into depressive thought patterns due to private trouble atm and it was really hard. I also relapsed into smoking cigarettes;

I also did that a few times in the past. Don't beat yourself up about the relapses. They happen, it's no big deal. If you keep at it, it'll end up sticking. It's been 15 years since my last relapse.

Thanks DJ. I have a lot to work on atm, but I hope to manage everything and find happiness again.

I actually did it! A 3 (C) for my practical exam and a 1 (A) for my oral exam for an end score of a 2 (B). Made some careless mistakes, but overall I did good. Now I know what to work on before the final exams next year and the same errors won't occur again.

Also thanks for sharing your story with me. I'm a bit disgruntled that I broke my over one year streak of no cancer sticks, but today shall be the final day that I smoked cigarettes. From now on it will be vaping only for me and I am committed to that health effort as much as I am to my career. I won't give up so easily again ☝🏻
