Thanks

He came back, so we're having a fairly deep discussion so I probably won't be posting here that much for the duration of it, it's taking a lot of emotional energy.

Don't worry about it too much . Just concentrate on having an awesome time with her

As long as you are stable now (or at least not a risk to yourself) I can't imagine it would be a problem.
CRB checks before working with vulnerable adults are generally just looking for any chance (or history) of you abusing them or being likely to do so.
If you'd been a danger to other people when you were ill it would be likely to cause a problem, but I don't think it would be in your case. Plently of people with mental health problems volunteer with charities like Rethink and Mind, for example.

Is there anybody you could ask in confidence at the place that you're looking into volunteering?

Honestly it's not a problem. I have a terrible record, even some police sections and I had to do an enhanced CRB and now I'm working in a hospital, so I don't see there being any problem for you

another night awake a 5am...

I really do give up on sleeping normally, just doesn't wanna happen.

been feeling like **** since early hours as well, don't know why but my mood just plummeted again, far too many things on my mind all bringing me down then bad thoughts start coming I really, really hate this.

trying as hard as I can to focus on future, but too many negatives come up then as well, even seeing my friends and stuff I keep thinking negatively about

times like this I wish I had someone to hug or something, just need to be comforted but I know that's not gonna happen either.

plus im probably being stupid getting my hopes up about that girl, I will no doubt find someway to **** that up when I see her.

urgh, really not good, really not good thoughts especially atm.

At least you got the balls to plan seeing her and tell her how you feel (im guessing?), thats a lot further than i normally get lol.

I know how hard it can be to block out the negative thoughts, its got to a point now where i dont even start thinking of going to bed until about 4am, at the earliest.

The way i sometimes cope is imagining whole new scenarios and worlds in my head, really thoroughly. I imagine the people that live their, their beliefs, their history, their world, their conflicts etc. Sometimes i conjure myself into that world also, obviously as some kind of hero or something. It's some pretty extreme/sad escapism, but it gets me to stop thinking about reality long enough to doze off.

to see her, yep, to tell her how I feel? not so much, I mean she already knows I kinda got drunk the night after our date and told her and that's when she said she wanted to be friends for now, but idk, she seems really keen to see me and stuff, is confusing :/

very I tend to sleep during the morning/early afternoon then up rest of the day and all night atm, my mood seems to either just be crap all that time or be good for a bit of that time and then crash

I don't really cope at all well atm, just end up spending 99% of my time lying in bed looking at either my laptop screen or my tv :/ is a problem really but I have no motivation at all for doing other things most of the time, I mean I went out with my dad on Saturday and that's about it for the past month or so

Slept for 16 hours yesterday, haven't slept at all tonight... What is going on with my sleeping pattern?! It's getting ridiculous.

i've been doing the same the last few days...it sucks. You seeing a therapist, doing councilling, on meds or seen your GP recently? If you've been stuck lying on ur bed for over a week you really need to do something to change it, cause it wont fix itself, seems nothing ever fixes itself these days >_> It could be painful or tough to do something about it, but its gotta be better than being unable to do anything al day.

If ANYONE needs anything please say something and I'll PM them my email add. I've been through this and the best thing for me is always helping others. You're never in a hopeless situation. Bless you all xxx

So tired and anxious. Why do people annoy me so much? Docs in half an hour too.

Have been sitting here crying for the last half hour cos the most likely diagnosis for my oldest guinea pig is liver cancer. He has got me through some very tough times, he has been my reason to get out of bed for the last 5 years, someone to cuddle when I'm sad and to lick the tears off my face when I cry, at times he was the only other living thing I wanted around me and he has had endless patience with me when I pick him up for a cuddle and to cry on. He has looked after me all this time and now there is very little I can do for him.

I got him and his friend after my care coordinator at the time suggested getting a pet to give me a reason to get up and go out (to the shop for pet food) and it was the best suggestion she could have made. I worked harder to get over my anxiety and agoraphobia so I could go to go to the shop to buy them veggies myself instead of sending someone else, I got out of bed in the morning to feed them, they sparked a slight guinea obsession and led to me volunteering for a charity which got me out of the house and eventually back into work. The thought of losing one of my original pair is devastating but nobody seems to get how much he has helped me though the bed times and that upsets me too.
