Things are pretty bad tbh: being triggered left, right and centre by uni peeps, including the disability office staff :facepalm: Not ideal. Am hiding indoors for the most part this week :frown:


Hiding indoors can be good for weathering a storm. Don't feel bad about needing time for yourself.. :hugs: have you managed to contact your CPN or psychiatrist or anyone able to help you? Might it be worth asking for some anxiolytics to tide you over?

I spoke to my CPN very briefly yesterday (Tues). She was the duty nurse for the hospital that day, so technically they weren't meant to put me through but coz I said straight up that I'm in a crisis, they put me through anyway :redface: CPN was gonna try and get hold of psychologist. I have a routine appt with CPN Weds 21st morning anyway so will see her in a few hours. Routine psychiatrist's appointment Weds 28th.

I am hoping I'll be OK if I just stay put tbh. Not many bad things can happen if I just stay in bed :redface:

Ok. It sounds like you're doing the right things. I agree that staying in bed can be good. Hopefully your CPN will be able to suggest something/ help in someway. Maybe even move up your psychiatrist appointment?

I doubt she'd have time to see me any sooner tbh :emo: I'll ask my CPN what she thinks though, and whether an earlier appointment is needed/available :yes:

Thanks for the support - I appreciate it :colondollar:

The bit in bold; the first few weeks of 1st year will definitely be like that as they try and let everyone settle into new surroundings? People just look like they know what they're doing on the outside but on the inside, they'll probably be incredibly nervous too! :smile:

With the friends thing; are you living in student accomodation? Also societies are an absolutely brilliant way to meet new people and make friends - alot of the people I talk to regularly and socialise with outside of my flat are people I've met through them

Do you have a care team? Can you get an emergency appointment with your GP? :console:

:frown: Will you be able to cope at work though? Try and see someone ASAP, someone who has the necessary training to be able to help you. You can offload to us but there's little we can do in terms of practical things :frown:

Try and stay safe :yes:

Guess who doesn't have to go back on clozapine?!*:biggrin:

Only because I can't be trusted to comply with medication and apparently stopping clozapine without supervision (which I've done twice already) is dangerous. Oh and psychiatrist is thinking about changing the olanzapine to a different AP that doesn't have as much weight gain and sedation so fingers crossed for that. Oh and my PIP is being re-assesed.

Went skateboarding along the Thames today. Was so nice to get out and feel happy and not paranoid in public :smile:*

is it like that for a lot of people? not knowing what to do in the first few weeks? i hope i'm not the only one. I live in student accommodation and i like my flat mates but i'm not super close with them. im going to some society meeting thing next week so hopefully i meet some nice people there :smile:

Hey all,

Just wanted to share my story if anyone is interested. I have a disgusting condition that I don't wish to go into specifics about, but its constantly ****ing up my life. i failed a levels twice, lost all of my friends,I have clinical depression. it comes in waves and last year it was the most potent. I've been actively seeking help, talking to therapy and helplines but it doesn't have the help i need. I do have regular doctor appointments every now and then but my mental state is ****.

I don't know what the future holds for me because i failed consistently and haven't actively looked for alternatives , but i'm still continuing to live this *****y life. I'm not moved by pointless motivation quotes and etc. I just found a way to disconnect from everything. I know that long term this will hurt me but I have no other methods, as ****ed up as it sounds i'm too scared about suicide.

ty for reading xx

Hi

What is this method... I kind of have good times and bad times luckily I still have some good times. If you need any help we are here for you.

This is my introducing thread http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?p=67693286&t=4330524#post67693286. I aim to get help and help others and hopefully get through this together. Sometimes reading certain stuff makes me upset so I am sorry If I can't be of help.

P.S most of us are scared of death it is just how we feel
Gym has made me feel a little better. Had a lot on my mind today though.
