Thanks I've never been good about talking to my mum about depression and the other issues I have - which started the depression in the first place. So eventhough I want to drop out of Uni I don't think I ever could. I'm not in the right place at the moment but I am to focus on this over summer and try to come back to uni next year with a fresh start. In saying this I did say I was going to start revising over the easter holidays - and I haven't actually started yet.

I'd never advise anyone to drop out it was literally last resort for me. As long as your doing a course you enjoy and you have at least a few people there to support you, you should be fine as for revising last min cramming is always the way to go

haha cramming would be a lot easier if i'd gone to any lectures i feel live and learn!

Ohwell it's only first year, if i get a third I will have learnt from my mistakes.... and go to lectures next year. Next year will be more interesting haha and i'll be a more motivated individual

haha well you managed to dig yourself out of calling me a cake quite well

Things can shake us up quite badly every now and again, its just part of life! Hope you don't have any more like that though hun, and I am glad you are feeling better for now!

I'll be fine though, it is nice to be able to be there for you every now and again, although I would obviously much rather you weren't feeling rubbish, but its nice being able to be there for other people too

Hey, yep... Feeling better today. No nightmares last night.... Think my brain was too bugged to bother. How are you feeling today?

I'm gonna find that very hard how I'm feeling, let alone to even look at the person or know what to say.

I understand, the other week I was hysterically crying before work because I have a sociable job and I just felt so down I didn't want to see or talk to anyone. It was a hard shift, but I got through it, and I'm glad I did, my friend offered to cover for me, but I persisted and it really paid off.

Sometimes I find closing my eyes for a bit and listening to music for a bit makes me feel stronger. You could try writing down what you'd want to say to them in response to questions about why you are suitable for the job ect.

Yeah I think it'd be a good idea to tell her, that way you can work together to find a way to make the leaving process easier, rather than her worrying that you are withdrawing, or you struggling with it on your own.

I don't think it will (or should) annoy anybody on here that you haven't had a diagnosis. It's completely up to you whether or not you go to a doctor. Just to reassure you, they can't force drugs on you, and sometimes the therapies that they can recommend you for can be more helpful that doing things alone - if you get paired with the right professional it can work wonders.

It's just a thought. I studied psychology and I read every book I could get my hands on from the age of 12 onwards (when I first got ill) but nothing helped me as much as when I was referred to CAMHS at 16. As I said, completely up to you of course, but just might be something worth bearing in mind, especially when you consider that your mood might take a hit when you leave school and your teacher behind. If you're interested in doing it, now might be the right time to start building up a bit of a relationship with your GP so that you have somebody to vent to if being without the teacher to talk to becomes difficult?

But yes, I'd recommend telling the teacher now that you're a bit anxious about losing her support when you leave school and you could maybe talk to her about her thoughts for where you could go for support?
Good luck!

Thank you again for your time. I will look into that what you suggested
and talk to my teacher tomorrow morning.
Thank you

I do this and as soon as I go into the interview room I completely forget all of it without fail.

good I am glad you didn't have any nightmares last night how you feeling this morning then huni?
I would just like my brain to **** off and let me live my life! But going to see the avengers this afternoon so all is ok I am hoping that will help! Housemates are having a big night out tomorrow though, I am meant to be going because I haven't really done much else with my housemates in ages, but I am not sure adding alcohol when I am this unstable and all over the place is a good idea!

If this days keeps going like this Im gonna be hitting the vodka. lol

Alcohol + increased dose of quetiapine = knock out.
