Hmm, sounds like it needs replacing, although it could need replacing within the next week or within the next 2 years, the problem is if you keep using it it may fail at any point, and you could lose anything on it (I assume you can still use it currently).

To find the size, go My Computer -> (Right-click the drive) -> Properties and it will say there.

Thanks

ok.. what version of windows do you have?... second, when did this start?.. third, do you get a blue screen with aload of writing on?

Thanks but I will move on from complaining about my laptop on here .... not the forum for it! Got my dissertation all bound and done, can't believe I am pretty much done here now! Scary ****! How you feeling then?

I can't really get my head around that

I mean do you not feel like it's your fault in some way?

Yer I do hence the being a third year and pretty much failing last year and still not telling the uni about it! Completely blame myself, but am totally going to mess myself for the future with grades wise now....so if it will help you you should find some way to do it! Don't want other people messing up like me!

Congratz.... must be a weight off your mind.... my nose is really sore.... keeps bleeding.

Are you going to celebrate then?

Ugh, it's happening again Does anyone else ever feel great for a couple of weeks or so, before - for no reason whatsoever - suddenly feeling like absolute crap? The worst of it is, my negative moods last for a lot longer than my positive ones, and I start trying to make myself feel worse because I get these urges to look things up on the internet that I know will make me more depressed than ever.

I couldn't go into college today, either. I just feel so bad My GP referred me to see a counsellor last November, and they contacted me, but I still haven't had an appointment yet. I've missed so much of college already I worry if I've screwed up my AS Levels for good...

Hope you've been doing ok, and don't feel bad for not having posted - we all need a break from social interaction every once in a while. If you do make a new account, be sure and tell us who you are (I get very confused over all the new accounts and name changes ).

The meet ups were really good fun - hope to see you at the next one.

Thank you for taking the time to reply... it's a little thing but for some reason it means a lot.

There are good days and bad days... mostly bad . I spent the majority of the Easter holidays locked away at home feeling empty then sad, going from being a zombie to a crying mess. I probably completed 5% of my uni work so now I am panicking. I only have one deadline which is a while away but I didn't revise or prepare for any of the tests I have next week which actually count towards the final mark. Do you have any language listening tips?

And when I do make another account I will make myself known I just cannot think of what username to have! So if anyone has any ideas, feel free to mention them!

I would love to go to the next meet up! But, even though I know that everyone is amazing, for some reason the idea of it scares me!

How are you?

I love the NHS. Needed a medication review with a view to probably increasing it as it's not working fully.....got an appointment in 5 and a half weeks.

Bought myself Pokemon Black for NDS for next time in hospital. Pokemon = awesome boredom cure

That's just ****ing ridiculous. Call them up every now and again to see if they have cancellations.

I'm seeing the person who brought it up on thursday so I'm going to ask her about it. But yes, utterly ridiculous.

Ugh, doesn't surprise me in the slightest. I've had to wait 2-3 weeks while being suicidal and needing to pretty urgently change/adjust meds before. Also had to wait 2 weeks while being kinda hypomanic and needing to change things, meaning I had to just discontinue meds by myself

Still sucks though

Ouch, waiting that long when you're suicidal is really bad

Took me 7 months to finally get to see a psychiatrist when my psychotic symptoms started returning. I managed to see a private one in a grand total of 3 hours.

7 months is pretty damn bad. I got 'lucky' in that respect, it only took about a month or two for a referral to a psychiatrist when I moved to London. Shame I only see him every 2-3 months

Especially bad when I'm in the titration phase of Lamotrigine which can make you manic until you get to a decent dose (with him having left me/my GP a titration schedule that only had me go up to 75mg when I probably need to be on 100-200

Wow that's a hell of a long time. Are you still with Early Intervention In Psychosis team or have you moved on? I've generally found that I see someone at least once every two weeks and sometimes more depending on when I get appointments.

Oh that's really good for London. I know a guy who was waiting over a year in central London and in the end had to go private because he was deteriorating in that time.

Couldn't you ask your GP to increase the dose for you, or will they not do that?

Nah, I saw them for 3 years so I got discharged. Only they didn't give me a discharge plan or anything it was just basically piss off Then when things turned pear-shaped I was ****ed.

You should just tell them all to **** off! they can't expect you to be around to sort out things for them any time they need anything! Hope you're ok though hun, try not to let the silly people get to you

Hate people like that who expect you to drop everything for them the minute they want something, but they don't care about anything else ... like how much effort you've put in or anything!

People do suck though, almost completely given up with most .... don't seem to be many genuinely nice and caring people left around! Hope you're alright

Unfortunately not, my GP won't really touch my meds without approval from my psych. At one point my psych had told me I could increase my Moclobemide but never got around to telling my GP, it took some persuasion to get my GP to actually give me the higher dose.
