absolutely dreading going back home. honestly feel so ****ing trapped..just don't know what to do. i'm such a let down.
Feel so angry recently.
Which isn't great considering my life is going to be like this shortly for a whole year so i don't know how i'm gonna stand it tbh :/

This week has been absolutely awesome!!! It couldn't have gone better!
My new medication has started to kick in and I'm not noticing any of the side effects that I was having with Citalopram (I'm on Sertraline now)
The bullying was making me feel really down and depressed and was making my OCD go haywire! My confidence has disappeared too!
Now I'm really happy, my OCD has calmed down a bit (it's still not great though) and my confidence has soared!
I felt like sharing this with everyone!
How I overcame this was by taking a look at myself and figuring out how to fix myself!
So I went about solving the problems I've been having and my mood was lifted dramatically!
Sorry if this isn't relevant to the thread at all! I just wanted to share this with people!

Hey. Would it be OK if I joined? I used to have an old account and use this thread frequently. Recently suffering a major relapse and struggling again.

I hope you're all doing alright.

At uni the mental health support is good in my opinion. They have mental health advisors who act kinda like care coordinators within the uni. You can drop in and see them if you need to. There is mentoring support via an external agency and they are very very good. My mentor has been fantastic. My department have been fantastic with mental health support and I've heard the same about other departments in the uni.

I can't comment on the mental health services as I live in Hounslow and commute to uni. However I have been to A&E in Kingston and the psych team are very professional and one of the best I've come into contact. My friend lives in Kingston and says that services are good, especially EIS (not sure if you are still with them). The trust that Kingston is in is meant to be good.

Happy Mental Health Awareness Week!!

Will you let me know once its up and running? Id love to make a post in it about my situation, if thats ok?
I look forward to it!!!
Does anyone else feel emotionally and mentally exhausted after meeting up with people? I met my cousin in town this morning and we had a great laugh and I feel comfortable around her as she has panic attack problems too and ever since I left her, I've had panic after panic and on the verge of breaking down because I feel so worn out in every way possible even though I had a great time. Waiting on Callan picking me up in a few mins. Hoping seeing him perks me up a bit.

Yes, will alert you all once it's up and running :biggrin: I think what we've decided on is that the thread will be locked and there will be themes (so like, this week, the theme will probs be 'relationships', as that is the theme of MHAW 2016). People will submit relevant entries to me via PM and it will be screen by relevant members of the TSR Support Team, for content, etc.

Once a suitable blog post has been put together on the relevant theme, it will be put up with any necessary trigger warnings by yours truly or the ST. That way we don't have anyone randomly word vomiting and inadvertently triggering others on the thread, and people's contributions can remain anonymous if they wish :smile:

The idea is to make it a multi-contributor thread but to maintain some control over what's posted, for the safety of everyone :yes:

In a rush but if I haven't replied by tomorrow morning, quote me again and I'll reply properly :colondollar:
Gonna fail my exam tomorrow. Can only blame myself as I've been too demotivated to do anything. Oh well everything is ****ing irrelevant anyway
Does anybody have any advice about getting yourself out of a really bad depressive episode? I'm just in tears all the time at the moment, feel so low and hopeless, having bad thoughts again. Don't really understand why this is happening again as things had been going relatively well. Try to do things I am passionate about; getting myself out, doing sports, uni, socialising. But as soon as I get back in the house the depressive feelings flood me literally like a wave and I am on my floor in my room sobbing my eyes out. I cannot sleep and I'm not eating well again. Scared of the thoughts I've been having mainly because I haven't had any specific 'urges' for a couple of years now really.

:frown: Sorry for the doom and gloom. Thanks guys.

Sorry to hear that :frown: your friend should have been way more considerate and thought about what she said! Have you got anyone else that you can talk to? :hugs:


Thanks :smile:

All my friends seem to be getting fed up of me lately. They've been saying my mental health has been having a toll on them so I'm just doing things on my own now really. I do feel a bit let down by them, whenever they needed help I'd never complain (and didn't dream of) but now I can't help but feel ever so slightly upset at them.
