    I know it sucks! I always feel great at the time, unless you go past a certain amount then you lose the plot. It is always the day after you feel rubbish. I am tired today more than hungover, a trip to the pub in a bit should fix things...
    well, yeah, I felt great last night when I got plastered on cider lol, but today I feel pretty flat and hungover no pub for me today, tbh yesterday was pretty depressing now I look back, I was sat alone at the bar drinking too shy to talk to anyone...

    someone from work or something? I know it's easier said than done (i think about what people say about me lot more than i should), but try put it behind you. People can snap at you for so many reasons; they're having a bad day themselves, under a lot of stress, don't actually understand what they're saying, and of course could just be a dick.
    they are supposed to be a friend/college peer but they are anything but that.
    i have 8 exams:4 exams,4 resits from when i was really stressed and i didn't care about much.I'm trying to turn my grade around, I've been in my room revising but im so tired and fed up.

    Guy im in a bit of a bad spot. I'm in a 136 suite and meant to be having a assessment with a psychiatrist and a social worker soon, I don't really know what it is but they said its a section assessment. Basically is there anyway I could lie and just say I'm fine and they will let me go, or will see right through that. Plus if they said it was a section assessment does that mean I don't get to go voluntarily if I need to be in hospital. I know that there is nothing wrong mentally and I don't understand why I'm here particularly but I don't know where to go from here.
    Sorry for the late and useless reply. I barely remember my 136 and assessment for sectioning so am not much use, but I hope that you are ok and that you have been given the help/advice/support you need:hugs:

    Keep coaches are where it is

    But yes, you are more than welcome in Nottingham at any point, although generally at least an hours notice is useful

    maybe if you just stay near your friend if you can? and you never know, people may well be friendly, have to be very bad luck for them not to be, besides if they are friends with your friend then they must be nice tell yourself these things should help you stay calm, and if it gets too crowded there is bound to be somewhere a bit quieter you can go to cool off for a bit?

    After being so happy that I had sort of got my binge/comfort eating under control, had lost weight, blah blah blah.... I have eaten a huge amount of rubbish today. Pizza, popcorn, wine and a cream cake - now feeling very disappointed and disgusted with myself. :ashamed2:

    if you are having trouble with Uni work and is depression related you can get support from the Uni normally, at my Uni they were pretty good so you can get extensions if needed and extra study support too don't feel bad about this, remember depression is a health issue and is not your fault, if you need support then don't feel bad at all for asking for it

    :hugs: I understand how you feel. Half of the holidays have gone but I have only done a very tiny bit of revision, for only one subject . I'm gonna fail and I know it. But I don't know how to motivate myself to revise. Currently very tired from all that dancing yesterday (and it wasn't a lot).

    Hope you manage to do the work

    Thanks Easter (and Christmas) is an awful time of the year for trying to resist sweet stuff and binge eating.

    I have managed to stay away from the chocolate - mainly cos I have not seen any family recently so have not been given any easter eggs but I made the mistake of popping out to tesco to get milk earlier and they had loads of stuff in the reduced section - it was reduced so I had to buy it, once I brought it I had to eat it (well the wine wasn't reduced I just fancied a glass). Currently trying to resit the second cream cake but can't quite bring myself to put it in the bin either. I also brought a tube of pringles cos they were on special offer (not a logical reason I know!) but I have hidden them in the car so they are not quite so tempting.

    I was considering asking the uni for help, but worried that because I haven't mentioned it at any other point they are going to think that I am just making it up to get an extension or something :/

    Yer christmas is a lot worse then easter, and I went home at the weekend so I have got lots of easter eggs (well had lots ) but nooo things being on offer and reduced is a very logical reason to stock up on them, I do it all the time! Feeling so awful about eating it all at the moment! Just got to try and resist the rest of the food though, but nah putting food in the bin never seems to be an option!
