I'm meant to be going sports practice in 10minutes but I haven't slept in 3 days and voices won't shut the **** up.

So I've been put on Citalopram. Not looking forward to the next three weeks while I wait for it to have any effect/things could possibly get worse :s
Try not to worry too much, chances are it won't be too bad. Citalopram only ever gave me a little nausea and dizziness for a few days when starting.

Missing one practice doesn't make you a bad person at all, I think you have a pretty good excuse not to.

It's not just the missing it, it's the fact I'm fat, need to lose weight, need to get better at hockey, need to make friends with the guys there, need to do something other than sit on tsr constantly
But thanks for the hugs and kind words, I appreciate it
How're you this evening?
URGH, why can I just not cope without valium for one bloody day, this anxiety is killing me. Valium and booze is a bad idea, right?

True, but there are better times for all of that, like when you are feeling better.
Meh, see the post above ^^

It is a bad idea, a very bad idea. 
Is there anything else you could do to relax yourself? Taking a shower, with my head right under the showerhead often helps me clear my head.

It completely depends on the person what side effects they get, some people get them so badly they have to change tablet.. I on the other hand didn't feel hungry for a few days and got the shakes in my arms for a day and that was it.
Thanks guys. I'm on them for stress, so I was already not eating, sleeping badly and constantly agitated/vomiting anyway. So I couldn't really be much worse, I guess.
To everyone else, I don't really want to hear any horror stories though, so if anyone has bad experiences of citalopram, please don't share them right now.

Hmm...
I've had a shower, it helped a bit, not a great loads. Everyone is going out, I'm going to go and probably get smashed on the pre drinks, but I really do not want to go out clubbing tonight really, just not in the mood, will end up feeling much worse.
I just read your joke about the Socialist, Communist and Capitalist on your profile, well it made me laugh
Thought I would post here, for the first time.
Having a very low time - have been for months.
Not sleeping. Not eating. Crying all the time.
I know the cause - my course. I am just not very good when it comes to classroom management and the constant negative feedback and people saying they "concerns" about it is doing nothing for my confidence. I dread going in on placement and I am desperate to leave. I have been since before the course even started. However, I am also scared to leave - I don't know what else I will do. And, there are some pretty serious financial implications, which I don't think I could find a way around.
So, I am pretty much stuck in this cycle.
Over tired. Off my food. Stressed on my course. Crying all the time... :/

Maybe try drinking a little bit just to get the buzz? You don't have to go clubbing after, but a night down the pub socializing might help you.
Glad you enjoyed it.

Me too, largely been sleeping for the past week, couple of down moments, but actually had some better moments too which are hopefully a sign of things to come.
Do people around you know you've started taking citalopram? Might help to have someone keeping an eye out for you
Guy I saw today pretty much said I have an eating disorder, which I guess is true, but still, the actual words and diagnosis is scary.
Did some accidental socialisation just now when I went out for a cigarette and two of my flatmates were outside too, and it was quite nice to talk to somebody in person.
The urge to over-tidy my room has come on hard today as well, stuff like chucking out perfectly good tins of food which have to be in my room because they don't fit in the kitchen, just for the sake of getting rid of 'clutter' (even when the stuff is all neatly packed away in boxes under my bed.
I feel like packing up a couple of days worth of stuff and just running away and avoiding society completely forever.

Yeah that's what I'm going for, not too much else I'll be a nervous wreck
Just need every good minute at the moment really, so unbelievably bored.A joke at the socialists/communists expense is always good

Are you taking it for depression, or anxiety (if you don't mind my asking)? I'm glad it seems to be working for you
And my mum knows I'm taking it, but I'm moving back to Italy on Thursday so she can't really keep an eye on me. I don't know if I'm close enough to any of my friends in Italy to tell them, and they don't live with me anyway so it would be hard for them to keep an eye.

If it is for anxiety sometimes they use lower does i think I am right in saying, are you starting on 10 or 20mg?

Maybe they would understand? Obviously I don't know your family so can't really say much here.
Glad your mood was better.
You better get on with that work!
Thanks. I think I can kind of understand why she laughed. She doesn't know how I've been feeling and if I would have got a grade like that this time last year I probably would have laughed too. I was just insulted at the time but now I see why she laughed.
Reading back on my test papers, it's so obvious my concentration was bad. I was missing out connectives and large phrases so the majority of my answers were like riddles
I am running out of Christmas confectionery so binges will be getting smaller and smaller until they are mere snacks
Nurture lady phoned CAMHS and they didn't even know who I was. Appointment is on the 20th March. So much for "Late January, early February".
My mum is on about taking me to the doctors in the meantime but I'm not sure they'd be able to do anything with me only being 15.

They don't know what's going on and I don't think I could deal with them knowing really so would have to think of some excuse why I can't just ask to have it changed back.
Had a go at the work, was stuggling so have been reading notes, hopefully it'll seem a little clearer tomorrow.
Even if she doesn't know, still rather insensitive.
Well still a positive sign in a way that you maybe know the answers, just couldn't pull them together that time with your concentration the way it was.
Can always get some more snacks! My chocolate consumption is getting alarming though, it's every time I have a cup of tea....which is a lot!
Sorry it's such a long wait.
Personally I think it's worth going to the doctors to see if there's anything they can do and even if there isn't then there's no harm done.

Sounds like a really tough situation to be in.
Have you been to the gp at all? If you could get some help to lift your mood it might make the placement more bearable and take you out of the cycle a bit.
