Hi guys, I've been so bogged down with work this week I've not had a good chance to reply to that meet up thread/ ask how you all are!
.. Hope your all ok this week <3

I was having a relatively ok week till tonight. Spent about two hours tonight googling what jobs I can possibly get from a degree in media studies and like 90% if results came back as 'shelf stacking'. I suppose I should of expected this.
Newcastle open day an results day next week. Not gonna be a good one :frown: off to bed now since I almost nodded off in the bath today - night guys, have a good one *hugs* (I forget the wording from the emoticon :wink:)

I don't know what to do anymore, I have nowhere to go. My boyfriend is "tired" of trying to help me out of how i'm feeling and says i'm just dragging him down with me, saying that I'm not using any willpower to get myself out of depression, my mum just seems to be concerned with me being able to carry on my education rather than how helpless I feel. Things had been good this week and then today I had such a bad day and I feel so alone.

Maybe you could call the Samaritans? Not trying to be condescending. Some people don't find them helpful since they can't offer advice but others do; especially if they just need to talk to someone due to loneliness/a really **** day. Nice GIF, btw.

yeah, my options are:

stay at Uni, try to complete this year, certainly fail and have to redo 2nd year

intermit till October then restart from either 1st or 2nd year at same Uni where I have friends

intermit and start my degree again at another Uni closer to home which is easier in terms of if I need more support and cause I need another surgery in 9 months anyway but obviously if I do this no friends
Second one would probably be the most appealing to most, I reckon. But yeah, that surgery might take it out of you... Depends if there are good universities near where you live, I suppose.

Well, I like to add a bit of bizazz :smug:
Oh crisis team, my love for you has reached a new level.

Hearing voices telling me to harm myself and I'm getting myself into a state so called the crisis team. They were meant to call back, an hour ago. FFS, I'll just battle through tonight, no doubt they'll tell me to take a hot bath anyway :facepalm:

yeah, just gonna be hella difficult with my ear and stuff to cope.

there are to be fair, my local Uni is Bath which is very good, but again would miss my friends so is a difficult decision to make!

CBT is the general treatment for PTSD as far as i know. it's different than general CBT for depression and stuff so you have to have it with a specialist and it is quite intensive apparently. i'm guessing they will have told you a bit about what they offer though?
