I feel exhausted all the time with revision now and tbh I just want to cry. Part of me feels like just giving up but then I know I would never forgive myself if I don't get into my first choice uni.
Had a really nice holiday in California, just got back yesterday. It was nice to have a break for a bit. Starting work soon for the charity I was doing my university placement with. Bit nervous about it, I will be doing all the assessments for the service and also doing this liaison service with the local CMHTs. It's a lot of work and quite important and I'm worried I'll screw it up :/
I got my results from uni. On the whole I am happy with them, I got a first overall and I got over the certain percentage I wanted, however I just keep feeling like it wasn't good enough. It's annoying me as I know I should be happy but I just don't feel happy with it.
I hope everyone is doing okay. Sorry I've been so absent recently.

That's might not be a bad idea, if you can find someone good there.
An hour isn't terrible (I know it's not ideal) but you've just got to think, this could make me better and change my life!
Well the first time I waited around 8 months too. I only called them around a month ago so far (had a useless group appointment, and have 4 more now :/ ). Not looking forward to those as they wont help me at all! I'm guessing you didn't end up seeing anyone the second time?
The NHS isn't very good imo!

Oh yuk, group therapy sounds horrendous.
Is there no way you can ask your GP for another referral for individual therapy? Are you on medication?I did see someone the second time eventually but they wanted me to engage in Freudian dream analysis which I thought was the biggest load of bull**** going (I mean I wouldn't be surprised if she'd talked about the Oedipus complex too).

A first is really awesome! It's great you got over the percentage you wanted!
The charity work does sound pretty important, I don't really have any advice except maybe don't be afraid to ask for help. It sounds like a lot of pressure so if you're unsure of something there's nothing wrong with that and asking for a hand.
I can't take this.

Hey
Don't worry about it honestly! Thank you acknowledging the guidelines we have in place on certain topics. They're there to protect everyone in here that's all ^^ I hope you're okay!I am also sorry. I always **** up in every given opportunity, no surprise there.

Like I said to Anxious Anon, there's really no need to apologise
I'm sure you don't mess up in every given opportunity!
Just knowing that I have to wake up early tomorrow to a basically empty house and leave when everyone is still snoring just makes me feel like ****.
And the fact that I won't get home until like nearly two hours after I finish because buses and be expected to socialise when I'll just want a hot bath and my bed is just going to make me feel even more drained.

Feel quite on edge tonight like I'm about to take a full blown panic any second. Been like this all day but haven't took a full panic just high blips of anxiety. Definitely been feeling better today than over the last few days though
Tonight Callan asked me to cut his hair from nearly bum length up to a shaggy just above the shoulders length and I did
turned out really nice tbh and woo, I finally have the longest hair out of us for the first time in about 4 years

I'll try to keep the guidelines in mind but it's very likely that I'll mess up again so thanks for your patience in advance...
Wishing you a good night

Went our drinking because I felt like I needed it. Guess it didn't go well with my medication because I spent 4 hours with my hewad down the toilet until someone took my home. Managed to text some friends some regrettable/honest thinhs and also my phone died and idk the password so I need to wipe it. Should have been a good night with good people, became a ****ing disaster. Already didnt think i could get through exams, wasdn't gonna drink because it'd just make things even harder, but everythings ****ed now.

Sorry to hear that
- I hope you manage to get through your exams okay.Hi there, making this post as a lovely anon until I feel comfortable enough to post with my actual username.
So I have struggled with a very very low self esteem since my early teens to the extent that I would refuse to go out most of the time because I thought I was ugly and that people would be judging my appearance very harshly. When I did go out I was forced out by my mum who insisted I was being selfish and making excuses to not spend time with her.
I'm now 19 and at university and I am slightly better. I still don't consider myself attractive but I do manage to go out and do things by myself. However, for these past few weeks (close to a month, actually) I have been feeling extremely low. There have been points when I genuinely feel people don't care about me (except some close family members)- my attempts to talk to my friends through Facebook are mainly met with silence or very short responses and I have felt very isolated. My mood is usually up and down, but this is one of the worst episodes I've had in a while. I've lost the motivation to do normal day-to-day tasks, been sleeping until 4/5pm for most days (except when I've had exams), not had the energy to cook and so have been barely eating. This has obviously had a huge knock on effect on my energy levels- I even get tired sitting at my desk for a couple of hours and feel the need to nap even after sleeping the day away.
Today I managed to get some stuff done and went out to get proper food in an attempt to try and get my energy levels back up, but I am completely exhausted from it. I feel physically weighed down and almost ill. If anyone has had a similar experience to me, what would you suggest I do? I think I'd like to make an appointment at the GP so we can discuss this, but I also feel like I need to contact a wellbeing officer at my university, but since it's pretty much the end of the year and exams are over I'm not sure how available they are. What would you suggest I do in this situation?
Sorry for the long long post but I would really appreciate some advice.

Oh my God. This almost literally describes my situation 100%. Except I have been feeling like this for much more than a month.
I'm sorry you're struggling so much. If I were you I'd go see a GP when your academic year finishes (i.e. when you're back home), only because it's nearly the end of the year.
Can't focus on my work at all. I'm going to be completely screwed in my test on Monday but even that thought doesn't help me focus.

It sure does! I really don't want to do it! It's gonna be a waste of time like the one I had the other day!
Not really. They said they can do it but I wouldn't see someone for over a year! I can't wait that long!
And apparently the NHS doesn't have any psychologists!
So I'm gonna have to go private again!
Yes I'm on 50mg of Sertraline
I don't even know what on earth that is! Analyzing dreams? Sounds ****!
I don't blame you for thinking that tbh!
What's the Oedipus Complex?
Apologies for the late response. Not had a great day today
