Ah. I'm sorry it's came to this, but maybe being admitted to hospital may help with whatever you've got going on at the moment. I've got a bad feeling I'm going to be admitted again in the next week. Sucks. I hope things get better for you, I truly do.

No chickening out!
Haha, I always do that, haven't used a hairdryer for ages!
Was today any better?

I resisted! I may have had a chocolate as a substitute and I may be drinking a cup of tea right now but still.
Meeting with the mental health advisor was really good, once he recieves the gp's letter he's going to email me to fill is a DSA application form which will pay for the mentoring. Looks like it should be ok for my counsellor to be my mentor, only technical thing is there needs to be some time between the counselling ending and the mentoring starting but as the form will take a while to be processed that should be ok. Apparently my counsellor spoke to him and said we get on quite well and I open up to him, that's why it would be good for him to be my mentor. Maybe I'm able to talk to him a bit better than I thought.

Sorry! Didn't go today though.
Felt the same this morning but I'm not feeling too bad at the moment. Need to get through this homework and start and finish a piece of coursework for period 2 tomorrow. Definitely not going to happen and if it does, it will probably bring my mood down with it.


Haha, well done!
That sounds really fantastic!

Hopefully you'll see her oon.
If you don't feel up to it, it's not worth risking your mood over.


Yeah, was getting sad about counselling finishing before yesterday, looks like it's all going to work out nicely.
Spent everyday the last few days telling myself I was going to tell me housemates about leaving. Should tell them now, can hear at least 3 out of 4 of them in the kitchen, but I saw one of them earlier when I went to make a sandwich so now I'm worried she will think it's strange I didn't tell her then. Aah I'm probably thinking about this far too much.

Aww, that's no fun. If it's for anon issues, maybe you could try making a new account?

I suppose not but I really need to do them. I've done a piece of homework and I've started the coursework but both are the most half-arsed piece of work I've ever done, I keep missing words out.


I highly doubt she would think you are strange, it makes perfect sense to tell everybody when they're all together.

I can't do it to my mum though. She told me she doesn't know how she'd cope if I went into hospital again. When I was first admitted she tried to kill herself and she's threatened to do the same if I go back in


You weren't 'promoting alcoholism'. Ignore her.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice if that's ok.
I'm planning on making a GP appointment because I'm worried that I might have depression. I'm very nervous though, and I've been putting the appointment off for a while. Could someone tell me the basics about what happens during the appointment? I'm not a very good talker, so I'm not sure what I should mention.
If I do get diagnosed with depression, I'm reluctant to try antidepressants, and I personally don't think counselling is for me because like I said, I don't like talking (although I'm willing to give anything a go I guess if it makes me better). I'm just wondering what else they would suggest, or are those the two main options that are usually offered?
I know the appointment is different for each person, but I'm freaking out a little so anything to calm me down would be great!

Got admitted for a week, only just got out. Told my GP that I thought she was part of a group who wan to hurt me. She sent me to an A&E. They put ****ing police officers outside my cubicle incase I tried to run. Then got threatened with section if I didn't go to hospital voluntarily. No beds in the local hospital so was taken to a high security intensive unit where I was stripped, searched, had everything removed from me including the underwear I was wearing and forced to take sedatives as me asking to be discharged was 'hostile behaviour'. Finally got discharged to my local hospital where again, threatened with section when I tried to leave. Told me I was schizophrenic put me on antipsychotics. Next psychiatrist I saw decided to take me off the antipsychotics, transfer me to a crisis house where I wanted to go initially. Then the crisis team rocked up decided they want me to go home so I'm now in the ****ing basement of my halls scared ****less about the spies, not given medication that could possible help, pissed at the people who put me in hospital and feeling suicidal but can't call the crisis team because I am NEVER going back into hospital again.

For anyone who thinks hospital is place of rest or respite it's not. It is a last resort for times of serious crisis.

Yes it is an anon issue. And yeah, I may do at some point but I think as useful as this thread was at the start I noticed that I would just often use it to vent and wallow but then do nothing about it afterwards. I think I need to start dealing with this properly and sort out the situation with me and my friends first.

Well at least you've made an attempt, which is so hard to do when you're feeling rubbish.


Thanks
They've left now, feel so pathetic. Going home tomorrow, was planning to tell them then tell my family this weekend, kind of messed that plan up. Avoiding work aswell, so frustrated with myself. End of moan.

It's so dull, an essay on splitting carrots


You're not pathetic at all, anybody would do what you did in your position
Moans are fine!

Just dropping in to say I've had no internet for a couple of days. I'll catch up with my quotes and stuff tomorrow.

Seriously?
I thought my coursework was dull but you have my sympathy!


Thanks

I am not being admitted into hospital

That's good news . Sounds like you are doing OK then?

That's great news! You must be relieved.

Inspired by the post a pic of your dorm thread, here are the 3 different rooms I've stayed in in psych hospitals :P
