Does making to do lists work for anyone? Considering attempting it but scared I'll just end up disappointed by the end of the day.

Gah Come to a BUTBA event and I will do better. Last week back at normal bowling, hit like 10-15 pins higher average than I did in BUCS ><

I kept looking at you to see if you ever looked at me, but you were too busy bowling

Shame, we don't make it past the first round of BUTBA lmao. Yeah, I'm better normally than at tournaments.

When I'm concentrating on something that's me zoned out. My last ever BUCS as well, sad times.

That sounds like a good idea!

I find sticking a couple of self-care tasks on there can help too (I plucked my eyebrows this morning .)

I really need to sort out my eyebrows. I don't trust myself with tweezers but I really need to stop looking like I've been attacked by caterpillars.

Glad it was ok, family occasions can feel a little awkward sometimes.

Caught a cold, was trying so hard not to keep coughing in my lecture that tears were coming down my face.
The lecturer handed my work back to me and sort of said my name nicely. Made me think it's less likely that he actually hates me. Even though I had no evidence for him hating me in the first place and he's lovely. Think just I'm addicted to torturing myself.
Going to just try to do some light work today (that can be done from bed ). Really hope I don't get a coughing fit tomorrow in the lecture with only 12 people, that will be embarressing.

Could get them threaded? There are little stalls and salons all over shopping centres, it's really cheap and lasts a while. Then you can just pluck out the odd hair now and then as necessary.

I'm always too shy to do it. I know I should - with tweezers I'll start going loopy and pulling out all of the hairs. Just need to build up the confidence to take myself to have somebody stare at my ridiculous eyebrows.

They're quite light so I get away with it so I don't look crazy but they're not pretty or anything.

Ah, I understand.Perhaps a friend could be nice enough to do them for you?

Just submitted the first piece of coursework (and on time!) since November. Still don't think I'll be able to complete the year but feeling quite proud of myself at the moment.Hope everyone is doing ok

It's a place that offers advice and support to students about different issues. I think that every uni has one, strange that's it's not on the uni website. I would try asking in the library or asking your advisor where it's located, then you can just go in and ask for an appointment.
Sorry your having to wait for counselling, must feel frustrated at the minute.

Well, I've stopped being a coward long enough to call and organise a counselling session like my GP advised, on Wednesday morning.

Anyone mind telling me what sort of thing I should be expecting?

Can sympathise with that, it's awful! Hope your cold clears up soon.
See! He doesn't hate you. Although I can relate to that too, forever over-analysing how people speak and act towards me.
Hope the work is going well.

Feeling low today but I went to asda with my mum earlier and realised Doritos were 2 for £2, it's the most excited I've been in months It doesn't make sense though, I complain about my weight and go and gorge myself on things like that.
Seeing my grandad in hospital later, hopefully he won't be in for much longer. He's just waiting on the results of a brain scan.

I'll try and ask around when I next go into uni which is probably Wednesday now. Another lecture missed today. I did email my diss tutor about my situation and she's been quite nice and not pressuring me too much over it but gave me a deadline in which to send her whatever work is done.

Hoping that might help spur me on to do something productive.

Its not too bad honestly, they just ask you why you're there, how you've been feeling, your symptoms and the severity of them. Make sure you tell he/she all your symptoms and be honest don't leave anything out so they can better help. You'll ribald be asked to fill out several forms of a diagnostic type test and he/she will have your overall score to say whether you have depression and how severe and if you should be prescribed AD's. Hope this helped
