That aside I achieved a place at university but was unable to live without my parents support due to my condition. The following year on a different course of drugs I returned to uni doing the same course but again dropped out because the new drugs failed to work and I could not live without support. The following year I had a operation so I wasn't able to go to Uni at all. The year after I had problems due to my operation, with only 2 week remaining of the year. Due to my lack of completion of those 2 weeks I now have to repeat my first year of university for the 4th time on the same course and this is last time that I'm going to be supported by student finance because they only support you for the length of your course +1 for 4 years for me. But because I've done my 1st year 3 times already this is the last year so the next 2 years will be purely supported off my own work and the money my parents support me with. I now begin my 4th 1st year of uni after 10 operations and throughout this time having my mum being suicidal and in and out of mental institution. So that's why I can't spent £1200 on a graphics card. Shoutout to my dad for being my rock through 5 years of hard times, that I hope have finally come to an end and to my mate Phil who linked me this thread and put a smile on my face, you suck bro.
