I get the same 'can't breathe' thing too sometimes - like you saw, fresh air can help, and also sometimes having a drink of water.

You going abroad next year then? Which country?

Do you know why the 'can't breathe' thing happens?

I am hopefully going to be a primary school English language assistant in France from this October to April.

I am not sure what to do for Spanish... most probably an intensive language course in the north of Spain ... what did you do for Spanish during your Year Abroad? I remember you saying you studied in Russia...

It doesn't seem 'real' though... I actually cannot imagine myself abroad and I feel like I am just going through the motions. My (few) friends are more nervous about me going than I am!

I know it will be a struggle... I live at home, I have never travelled and I am very close to my family so I am mentally trying to prepare myself but I don't think it will hit me till I am on the plane.

Yeah, it always surprised me when we get a bunch of people wanting to join, especially when they never post in the thread.

When is it that a doctor/psychiatrist/etc decides that you need anti-depressants?

2 years ago and also this year when I've gone to the GP about depression, they just bung me on a long waiting list for counselling. Which is OK I suppose, but it would be nice to get some sort of quicker support in the mean time. Last time I had to wait 6 months for a first counselling session, and by that time I'd already done and failed my A Levels . I guess that's partly my fault, but still, I think my depression must be at least partly biological if I'm getting so down about such mundane things

Have you tried outright asking them for antidepressants?

Maybe they think you don't want them. There's also the fact that antidepressants aren't so effective for mild to moderate depression so if you're classed as one of them the talk therapy is the recommended treatment. Maybe make sure that you're giving the full picture to the doctor. When I went to see them I wrote everything down and he gave me antidepressants that day because he thought I was so severely depressed that he didn't want to waste time. If you've told them exactly how depressed you are and still aren't getting drugs, maybe it's time to see another doctor who might be more willing to give you antidepressants.

2 years ago I asked maybe 2 different doctors for anti-depressants, but they both refused me. When I went to the GP last month I didn't bother asking for ADs, just told him my problems and also had them written down. I think I told him as much and as best as I could, as well as doing the depression questionnaire he gave me.

Maybe they read a few pages and run away in fright.

My stomach clearly isn't mean to handle 3 days of heavy drinking (is anybody's?) so I'm now feeling really hungry, but the thought of food just makes me want to throw up, so hungry I shall stay for now.

Meeting with mental health advisor, about exams. eep. So nervous.

Meeting at some point after next Wednesday sounds like a good plan Although I feel you only want to meet to see Wolf, and possibly only see her to get her socks

I am hurt by your acquisitions! I want to see you both equally Wolf's socks don't even come into it.

I stupidly postponed my doctor's appointment this morning and now I have to wait until Thursday. My project day is on Wednesday and I have to see the hellwench at the doctor's instead of the nice one. Last time she said I was very selfish for not recovering. And now I won't have anything to take the edge of the urge to run and hide or anything. I do this to myself

[Aemiliana]

Didn't take my meds last night because they're not doing anything. Fed up of it.

Yeah I know

CPN has managed to fit me in in an hours time before I crash and burn completely

Good luck!

Thank you.

I've just had that manic realisation moment. Been going for 2 days with no sleep, ran 7 miles this morning.
Exams season is not helpful. I just get irritated that my hyperactivity moments around this sort of time don't actually manifest themselves into effective revision. Hardly touched the books. Time goes too fast.
NEED to chill out or I'm gonna crash big time.

Hope everyone with exams and other stress is okay. Look after yourselves!

rah rah rah, tired of mum lying to me/everyone all the time, it shouldn't really annoy me, seeing as most the time they're small inconsequential things she lies about, but still makes me feel so uncomfortable. plus noone ever believes me.

my mood is okay for now, still sleeping loads on the mitazapine though! and it's making me insanely hungry actually kinda glad I don't have to vote today (no elections in Bath ), is raining heavily and is a bit of a walk to the polling station, I plan to watch the results though, anticipating that doing so will leave me severely depressed though
