I see right now I am flooding my one good ear with noise and writing song lyrics that no-one will ever read.

song writer?

Do that a tiny bit myself.

yeah...though only when I get really low tbh, so much so I tend to find my own lyrics somewhat triggering when I read them back

hopefully you manage more cheerful words than I do!

the rocket summer lyrics always make me feel more depressed but warm somehow

I do it whenever - got a notebook next to my bed for doing so.

Not really - mostly trying to get my own issues down on paper in an attempt to deal with them (not got the logic that follows that idea yet), although I wouldn't mind writing some more protest-y ones.

fair enough

yeah, I know what you mean, protest-y stuff sounds good

feeling odd today. got an opportunity to go out and have a meal which was kind of nice in itself as for once had the opportunity to relax and take a break way from everything, and the meal itself was nice, but saddened because it reminds me of complete social incompetence and introvertedness even when im more or less comfortable. how am i ever going to succeed in life, let alone make friends and have a social life. i want to change but i dont know how to nor can i find the motivation.

I'm considering asking my GP at uni for a referral to a psychiatrist, any ideas how long the waiting time for my appointment would be?

Took about a month for me, that was after I'd failed on citalopram and duloxetine/was clearly a more complex case than the GP could deal with.

Got a mark back for an assignment and felt myself slipping back into stressed out/anxious mode again. Think I really need to lower my target but i feel by doing that I'm a failure and of course by not meeting my expectations I'm a failure

The fact you're already at uni proves you're not a failure Not everyone gets there

That party thing again.

I KNOW I won't allowed to go.
I KNOW there is no one I can go with.
I KNOW I'm vulnerable - aspergers, depression, complete social isolation therefore no experience of such an environment.

But STILL my mind doesn't understand that it is better that I'm not going and I shouldn't feel low about it. But why do I still feel like this? I need to wait till I'm away from my parents and learn social skills. GET THAT IN YOUR MIND

Feel better now

I'm very much a similar case, currently on my 5th antidepressant, Venlafaxine. Glad to hear you didn't have to wait too long for your appointment, I would absolutely detest having to wait for 7 months like Saber. I suppose it depends on the area and how busy it is.

Yeah I know except all my friends back home did and tbh they went to better unis and have jobs and high 2:1s and 1sts.

Hi

I'm a new poster on here. I'm just feeling so down and upset right now. I feel like a huge failure. My parents aren't helping, they're continuously complaining about me not finding a job but don't understand that by them doing that it makes me feel worse and depressed about my life.

You shouldn't compare yourself to others It's only downhill once you start doing that Some people are going to end up at better universities. It's inevitable; it doesn't make you a failure. You're at university. Full stop. Be proud of that ^^ Compare yourself to yourself and not others.

Aside from what Deyesy has said, education is a rather specialist course which not all unis offer. You can't really compare yourself to your friends without doing yourself a disservice

That doesn't help because I should have got a better grade at college and I should be on track for a 1st but both times I've screwed up majorly. I am capable of doing so much better but apparently my brain doesn't want me to.

I think its about £7/8 in tesco. Have you spoken to a dr at all about how you are feeling (sorry if you have already said and I missed it, brain is like a sieve) as it might be worth trying to get some kind of talking therapy to help with your anxiety and to teach you relaxation techniques and coping stratagies

yeah, my teacher said i should probably go to the Dr as well, but if this is gonna help, i dont want to go to the Dr for the same effect, if you get what i mean? if it happens again, i'll have to go and get a note from my Dr anyway

[avhhs]

I currently feel like I'm getting what I deserve for being ****ing stupid. I deserve all of what I'd happening to me because I wanted a social life

Also my eye is messed up and have to go to the doctor . I don't feel like going to school afterwards

my teacher has suggested i go to the doctor and get them to write me a note about my panic attack during the exam so they can send it on to the exam boards, cause it has never happened before. but i have no idea what i would say when i go there, any suggestions? do i literally just sit down and be like "i had a panic attack, i need a note", or is there some sort of procedure involved??
