Totally!
Wish I wasn't here. I had worked out a cocktail of pills that could fairly safely get me to sleep but they won't give me anything like that in here. Think whilst I have been here I have averaged less than 2 hours sleep a day and most of that comes from when I first got here and they were heavily sedating me.
Even when I get out it will be the same old **** except i'll be in a hostel instead of a ward.
I just can't even see rationally why I shouldn't be depressed. Everything I have to be happy about is based on the fact that I currently have shelter and access to food. When I get out even that will be up in the air and even if it is sorted, I just feel like I have no capacity to communicate properly with anyone or enjoy anything.
Yeah, once I am free of psychiatrists I will eventually recover and get back to my normal self but then it is just a ticking time bomb till the merry go round starts up again.
Maybe I should find god or something and then if I come out with things people claim are inconsistent or delusional I can just claim it came from divine sources and they won't be able to just lock me up and claim I'm losing the plot.

Just messed up and accidentally went on the wrong website to renew my passport. My mum lent me her card to pay for it but it wasn't actually the passport website, it was just one that prints out the forms and mails them to you and then charges you for it. Feel really guilty because I should have checked more closely and the website terms, which I didn't read before hand because why would you say I can't get a refund even though it's distance selling since they start processing immediately. I emailed straight away asking them to cancel my order and delete my information but I'm just on the verge of tears now.
Just really hope I can get it sorted in between work shifts on Monday. Absolute nightmare. Nevermind the fact that I was planning to pay for the holiday I'm going on with her in a couple of months not next month. So I'm going to have absolutely no money and I already owe people :/ Just so sick of this sort of thing happening. My anxiety has been playing up loads over the past few days and it's not helping that I don't really get days off to relax etc. Stuck in work tomorrow and have to convince my boss to give me a weekend off soon and I am dreading it. Then I have to show up somewhere on Tuesday and I won't be able to afford the money I need to take with me.
Feeling guilty that I'm happy my boyfriend is going away for a couple of weeks so I don't need to worry about seeing him etc while I'm sorting all this nonsense out.

Like you say it's distance selling therefore it's covered by regulations that state you have a seven day cooling off period even if you've received the goods and payment has processed. Legally they must give you a refund no questions asked if you request it.

Bad day ... 
Honestly: Why are you jealous of somebody wasting his money on a car? (I mean, it doesn't sound as you need the car? Correct me, if I am wrong.) I know, you are very young and it might seem to you, that if you miss out on that, you will miss out on anything, but honestly: No, you won't. There are many things which are important or better said ideal to do at your age, but you can trust me: working part-time and own a car is not and won't stop you to get a good education. Just focus on your grades, get better in the areas which are important for you and earn social experiences, which of course can be by working part-time, but don't do it just to afford something you might not need.
Are you honestly not doing very much? I mean honestly missing out on things which are very, very important for you?
PS.: Good luck with the driving lessons!

Yeah that link sound good - might help thanks . I'm trying to kind of live my life more. I feel like I'm existing more than living right now, and I want that to stop. I don't want to be wasting my life. I'm trying to make things better, but nothing much seems to work. I am looking at getting a job and learning some new hobbies and stuff. One thing that's really triggered me is that I saw this girl - don't know her well but she goes to my school. She started driving lessons 2 months before me, and she's passed and has a car. She has a boyfriend and a part time job and her grades are good. It made me realise how little I do - I feel like I'm an awful driver because she's passed and I'm nowhere's near ready, and she can afford a car and I can't. I know it's stupid jealousy but I feel like I'm missing out on life because I don't do very much and I'm not interesting or anything.

I'm a nobody remember

exactly how I've been feeling for ages now. Just cannot carry on anymore. I don't know if it actually is worth it.. There's no point at all.. Just can't do it.. Don't deserve to live anyway

I know how painful it is
I really, truly do, and my heart goes out to you. But the pain, however intense is ultimately temporary. Hang on in there hun Original post by Anonymous
I kinda wish they hadn't noticed because now they're going to want proof and this means I'm actually going to have to go to the doctors and stuff, which makes me feel even more sick.
Yeaah I know, hopefully it'll be fine
Thank you! I hope so too, I can't keep hiding away I suppose. I'm just nervous at the fact that they're gunna want evidence etc and I'm gunna have to speak to a councillor or go to the doctors. Which I know is a good thing but I get nervous easily at talking to people about myself, and the fact my family will have to know eventually. This is not good for my health with all the nerves and emotions.

That's what I figured but their terms state that since it's processed as soon as payment has gone through it counts as a service that is started and concluded before the cooling off period. I'm going to be going at it from they yeah but it's 9pm on Saturday there's no way anything was happening before i cancelled it but who knows if that'll work. Failing that it might be a case of making some phone calls etc.

Debit card and there was definitely enough money in the account.

Just really hope I can get it sorted in between work shifts on Monday. Absolute nightmare. Nevermind the fact that I was planning to pay for the holiday I'm going on with her in a couple of months not next month. So I'm going to have absolutely no money and I already owe people :/ Just so sick of this sort of thing happening. My anxiety has been playing up loads over the past few days and it's not helping that I don't really get days off to relax etc. Stuck in work tomorrow and have to convince my boss to give me a weekend off soon and I am dreading it. Then I have to show up somewhere on Tuesday and I won't be able to afford the money I need to take with me.
Feeling guilty that I'm happy my boyfriend is going away for a couple of weeks so I don't need to worry about seeing him etc while I'm sorting all this nonsense out.

The website terms and conditions can't overrule local law, and if it wasn't clear on their website they would charge a fee for applying for you, they might have breached various regulations. Hopefully they agree to give you a refund, if they don't then possibly contact CAB / someone who can help legally.

This is good advice
It can also apply to debit cards, although it is much harder to get your bank to do a 'chargeback' - they might do if the company clearly misled you (I have had a chargeback for a debit card done twice, one time it was very clear cut (completely unknown payments), the other time a company charged me for something that I didn't authorise them to. If the company doesn't refund you, go to your mums bank as soon as you can, and see if they can help you, if not, get advice from CAB/etc.

I'm watching some comedy now, maybe that'll help.
I'm having this crazy feeling that I should go work abroad this summer, don't know whether i'm brave enough though, plus i've got an exam resit in august :/
one of my flatmates is bullying me. I don't need this
