I thought I'd have heard back from my PIP mandatory reconsideration by now since its been three weeks. That *****y resource worker I told you about said it would hear back within a week or two most likely and that she was 99% it would be rejected. I'm not one to think no news is good news when it comes to the DWP however
Yes, unfortunately. Amisulpride and aripripizole. So still weight gain side effects but no where near as much as clozapine and olanzapine which I was on previously.*

I'm gonna try and ask for aripiprazole on monday when I see the psych.
1) Stopped the olanazapine 3 days ago and already lost weight 2) Scars are really fading now. Should be able to wear short sleeves this summer in front of classmates (I have no problem doing so with friends/family and general public atm btw) 3) Got a letter from the psychiatrist supporting my application for DSA and getting support from the uni with this letter so I can hopefully do well this year, unlike my undergrad experience*

welp that was bloody useless apparently i can have sleeping tablets if i wanted cos im old enough but what is the point of that cos that isnt acc solving the issue. i need to 'de-stress' appaz and they cant even fix them bc they arent reoccurring and they dont know why i wake up in the night 😂 tbh might just drug myself out on piriton what a great idea i shall do just that.
Yeah, the waiting times on the NHS can be pretty ridiculous. If you have a CC perhaps it's time to call her? I don't know much about anorexia but I imagine that a lot of people who struggle with that also struggle with depression so maybe the differences are less large than you might think? I know it can be really scary, and really really hard to reach out for help but I do think it's probably the best thing you can do. It sounds like you're in a pretty dark place right now and I understand not wanting to take time out of your course but, ime, this kind of thing doesn't generally resolve itself. I think if you did get pulled up by the people who deal with medical conditions in medical students (I have completely forgotten their name) then it's gonna look better that you're getting help than trying to deal with things on your own.
I know it's scary to see the counseling service, but I think they would know more about this than me or anyone else here and it can be really good to just let off steam with someone who isn't going to judge you.
Thank you I'm really scared, but I'm going to try talking to someone tomorrow. I can't go on like this, and I know the uni has counselling sessions on a friday. Any advice from here? I've admitted to some close friends tonight that I seriously need help, and they were very responsive... but I'm still so scared.

Glad your friends were responsive and hope you are able to get some support today. Well done for being brave! As Saber said, occupational health are likely to be more supportive/understanding if they can see that you are engaging with services and are willing to be helped
In contrast to yesterday I am feeling very very low. Bad thoughts are consuming me. Cannot stop crying. I look in the mirror and I see a zombie... to all nevertheless
