Cos I've still got some of my drink to drink. Managed to just about successfully move house today (only broke two bits of kitchenware ), which means I get lovely vodka to celebrate.

Something which occasionally helps me when I can't get to sleep is to put on a really old and familiar TV/radio show, or a film, and half watch/listen to it in bed. I usually find that I fall asleep before the end.

ooh, well done! That's meant to be one of the most stressful things in life, to move house

Thanks, might stick in my ipod and watch/listen to something

Hi,

Does anyone have experiance of 'night terrors' was wondering if they are associated with depression? Thanks

Hey guys.

I had some relationship problems last week. It was my first ever serious relationship for a month and then last week BAM she left me for something I had nothing do with and is with now a guy totally the opposite as me, an alcoholic, labor jobs as a profession and disrespectful to women in my eyes.

I've had super anxiety ever since the break up last week consuming less then a thousand calories a day which usually consists of a muffin for breakfast, slices of toast for lunch and then soup for dinner. I had no apetite at all, i was pretty much forcing myself to eat. Some days I only ate soup and peanuts. I also was throwing up clear bile the past few days and slight bowel movements...

Though the first time today I talked to someone I trusted and cried so much like a waterfall. and after talking and crying i felt so much better! I don't know what it was but I did. Anybody can confirm that crying is actually encouraged and makes you feel better? I wanted to cry the whole week but couldn't. but when talking to someone i trusted I cried so much and felt so much better.

Seeing the therapist today, cue a whole hour of me muttering down at my hands

Made it through the night. Took my meds (despite my awesome remake of pink floyd to describe it 'we don't need no medication, we don't need no thought control'). Crisis team coming over to my halls again this evening. They keep on talking about being an inpatient. I can't get sectioned

Can you go willingly? I know you don't want to but if they're so insistent then they must have a good reason for wanting you to go

Hospital scares me so much that I'd rather take the risk of being assessed under the mental health act and 'failing' to be sectioned rather than going voluntary.

How are you feeling?

Back when this was Depression Society, we got a good number of posts a day, and this has risen since the name change / broadening of the society. There is at least 10 people I can think of who post (often helping people) daily, and then a good number more of us who post at some frequency between daily and weekly, so it gets a lot of posts fairly fast.

Arhh okay, I'll be one of those who posts frequently

I honestly don't know Normally I go out with my BF but he can't always be with me, and he's starting a full time job tomorrow (on top of his part time job) so I'm going to be alone during the day. I don't understand why I'm so fearful, it started after my holiday in Amsterdam...

Spoiler:

Show

Smoked a spliff that was farrrrrr too strong, had a four hour long freak out, nearly got on a plane home there and then, couldn't, spent the rest of my time miserable and upset and ruined the holiday.

Now I hate being away from my house BUT I also feel anxious when I'm at home, around meal times, around bedtime because I keep having horrible nightmares, when someone leaves the house, when people are back late, basically anything.

If I push myself too hard and force myself to go out, especially into a stressful situation like eating out, I zone out, depersonalise and everything seems like it's become a dream and I freak out. I don't know what to do

Thanks. It went pretty well: only one question that I didn't answer very well. Main thing was that I didn't yawn in the interview and they didn't ask me why I had declared a disability and what it was, etc. (This institute guarantees an interview to disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria.)

How are you?

Right, this is gonna make me sound really daft... but would pretending someone is with you help? Like when I was in a major psychotic episode and I really needed my mother figure around but she wasn't there (she won't talk to me anymore ), I'd just pretend she was there holding my hand and guiding me to the right place, stopping at traffic points, etc.

Walked to the post box and had a wander with my BF, it was ok but still a bit :s Might have another wander after dinner, possibly down to the local pub to see what it's like in there (and try to sit there and have a drink for a little bit rather than buying one and freaking out like I did last time!). Going to try that, I'm willing to give anything a go! Going into town with a friend tomorrow afternoon (possibly) as well so hopefully that should also be positive.

I need to have this sorted by the 28th of July at the very latest, I have tickets to the Olympics and I am not missing out on it!

Despite the fact that every student has a messy room, I have to friggin dust and clean mine for the crisis team so as not to appear 'incapable of looking after myself'. They don't deserve my dusting
