    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 :/

    they shouldn't do, but if you are worried then maybe speak to the GP as well? the Uni should be pretty understand, a lot of students have mental health issues so they normally have support staff who are there to help people in that situation I hope they are able to help you out and that you are able to get things sorted :yy:

    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!
    Thinking of christmas made me realise that I did a similar thing christmas week but managed to get back on top of my eating afterwards. Think I will have to dig out my distraction list and start going through it again. I am setting a goal of not eating the second cake before 8pm and shall go dig out my nail varnish and face mask stuff and nosey round the forum to distract myself until then

    Oh god I am a forgetful useless person at times.

    Bullettheory asked me to let you guys know he's gone into hospital, and will be fine.

    If any of you guys don't have a way of contacting him, I'll pass any messages on.

    sounds like a good idea, I am trying to do the same, lots of solitaire is the answer for me! Keeps my hands busy so its harder to eat constantly Hope the distractions work though and you manage to get back on top of things!

    Easter has been less stressful than I thought it would be I think. It was a bit rubbish seeing my grandad upset but apart from that it was good. He really need to go into a home or sheltered accommodation at the least but he's so stubborn. There's going to come a time when he falls at home and not be able to get help.

    Hope everybody has had a good day. :console:

    Has anyone else experienced therapists asking about your sex life? Or is this just me who finds it totally weird conversation topic to have with professionals?

    Well, he's safe, you know?

    It's voluntary, so he has the right to self-discharge, but I think he's planning on staying put for the time being.

    I just keep remembering things from the past and remembering them vividly, I feel angry at the people who took advantage and I feel angry at myself for being so weak and not being able to stop thinking. The one person that says they love me is the one that makes me despise myself. But I'm so stupid and weak that I won't do anything about it, because I'm nothing in the end. I don't know if I hate myself or him more. Urgh.

    How are you doing?

    :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: Oh hun :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

    I understand those feelings very well :sadnod: But remember that not any of it is your fault, you're one of the most amazing people I've ever spoken to in all my existence and you don't deserve any of that. It's hard to forget, but try and be easy on yourself, you have no reason to hate yourself. If you wish to elaborate you can PM me or text me about it, I'm always here. Just be easy on yourself :console:

    I'm a little empty now, but reaching the point where I don't see the point of trying anymore.
