No I haven't. I don't have a personal tutor and I don't even know what to say to the disability services. I just don't know where to start or what they could do to help me anyway.
I just had another test (in a different module) and the questions required a lot of thought but the voices were laughing and shouting the whole time so I'm sure I've failed that one too.
Sorry delay was being dopey and didn't log in on the computer to check notifications.
Make an appointment with them and start with saying you need more support because at the moment you're struggling. They'll ask you more questions and just fill them in just make them pay attention and offer options basically
Don't worry it must be so difficult to do an exam with that going on in your head, sounds really taxing no wonder you're not achieving the grades you want but I'm sure you can if people recognise your problems and add that extra support into the equation
i also did my over the phone pip application today. I think she is going to send me a form to fill in. it should be alright though, because i have a medical history, thus my notes will be rammed.

Thank you for the advice, LP. I will send them an email to set up an appointment. There's no DSA here so I have no idea what kind of support they can offer but I guess I won't know unless I ask. I do feel kind of guilty about it though - there was this girl in an electronic wheelchair today and it's just like, she's coping I'm not, why am I so pathetic? I dunno, I'll email them but I'm not optimistic.

Hope you're doing ok.
Saber, your problems are just as important as someone with physical disabilities. You're not pathetic at all, I think it's brilliant how you've returned to uni to study.

That's the problem with these kinds of illnesses but don't buy into that internalised stigma you know how debilitating it can all be. Okay good plan hope they get back to you soon I'm okay thanks just coasting along...

stigma is very real and a great problem for some people who suffer from mental illness though?
