Had a bad few days, friday night being particularly bad. Not helped afterwards being told that they might inform the DVLA about things and the DVLA might take my license away, if they feel like it. In what world it's meant to be helpful telling me that, I have no idea. It's not like when things get that bad I give a flying **** about whether I'll have a license or not, as it's not really like I'd be around to use it. Just feelings like they're trying to threaten me into feeling better. Sorry vent over :colondollar:
sigh, literally spent most of my day forcing myself not to cry. nothing helps for long either.

now I can't find my headphones which for some reason is really winding me up as well.

urgh, I really really hate being so depressed.

could really do with someone, anyone to talk to, but no-one is about.

sorry.
Never posted here before! :tongue:

Trichotrillomania / impulse control disorder represent.

Bloody sucks, I'd rather at least have a relatively productive form of OCD.. :tongue:
So very embarrassing.

I'm in cognitive behavioural therapy for it at the moment but it doesn't really seem to be doing much.

Whatever music you're listening to, please PLEASE never EVER listen to Barry Manilow songs on repeat for 3 hours. Serious low point of my undergrad degree :sadnod:

Don't worry. Once I was a bit better I was like :lolwut: :eyeball: :facepalm: and vowed never to do such silly things ever again, no matter how bad things get :p:

yeah...though only when I get really low tbh, so much so I tend to find my own lyrics somewhat triggering when I read them back :erm:

hopefully you manage more cheerful words than I do!
the rocket summer lyrics always make me feel more depressed but warm somehow

I do it whenever - got a notebook next to my bed for doing so.

Not really - mostly trying to get my own issues down on paper in an attempt to deal with them (not got the logic that follows that idea yet), although I wouldn't mind writing some more protest-y ones.

fair enough

yeah, I know what you mean, protest-y stuff sounds good :yy:
feeling odd today. got an opportunity to go out and have a meal which was kind of nice in itself as for once had the opportunity to relax and take a break way from everything, and the meal itself was nice, but saddened because it reminds me of complete social incompetence and introvertedness even when im more or less comfortable. how am i ever going to succeed in life, let alone make friends and have a social life. i want to change but i dont know how to nor can i find the motivation.

I'm considering asking my GP at uni for a referral to a psychiatrist, any ideas how long the waiting time for my appointment would be?


Took about a month for me, that was after I'd failed on citalopram and duloxetine/was clearly a more complex case than the GP could deal with.
