And no idea, but I saw 4 police cars on the walk back through campus.
I thought for a horrible moment I'd triggered a search party because I've been awol all day and I wasn't in the best frame of mind when I saw my CPN last week.
Knowing students, something drug/theft related?
Hello guys!
Just wanted to thank superwolf for helping me last week!
Managed to explain to college about my absence and they seemed to want to help me (nothings really been done but at least theyre not pressuring and having a go at me for not attending college so hurrah! Thanks to all of you too
Bit of a dilemma now though. Too scared to go to the docs. Any advice?
Hope everyones okay and nice shiny thread!

So EIS are taking me on which inc. 2 month assessment. Apparently I have to attend badminton and cinema groups as part of the assessment to see how I 'socialise'. Funnest (yes is real world ) assessment ever?
) assessment ever?My EIS people used to run pool and football groups, they were actually really really fun, I enjoyed them loads and it was great to get out of the house and socializing so just go and try to enjoy it, there's no pressure or anything.

Thanks, actually looking forward to start socialising again
I finally did it: I sent an email asking for an extension.
I'm still convinced this is entirely my fault, if I just tried a bit harder and thought a bit less about the attempts on my life (which are also my fault) then I'd be able to do it. It's a good thing I have no morals or I might disagree with asking for an extension because I have **** motivation and concentration (both my fault). My keyworker keeps telling me I'm "mentally ill", I ****ing hate that term, ok there are some things wrong but I am not "mentally ill".
She also told me my friend would probably benefit from a chat with a psychologist as he seems to have odd ideas I feel a little better about disregarding what he said now, still a little unsure, but better.

Therapist told me not to bother worrying about my exams because it won't solve anything 
I don't know how to stop worrying though! It's like my brain has split off into 2 different people - one who still cares enough to worry (because if I fail I won't be going to uni this year) and another who doesn't give a **** and can't be bothered to do anything. Idk. If my meds would start working I'm sure that would help, but at the moment I have pretty much zero motivation to do anything. Is there any hope of me securing decent grades with my exams coming up in 2-3 weeks?! Beginning to think that I'll have to tell my parents about my depression, because otherwise they'll be in for a big shock on results day

I don't think any thread with that tehFrance chap in it will do wonders for the mood 
Try to ignore them. Ignorance about mental illness is pretty rife, but we know the truth

well, lol, I don't get on with him anyway
let's just say he has pretty much the polar opposite views to me on everythingI will is just annoying in a thread I use a fair amount to have people say things like that, hopefully someday people won't be so ignorant yeah.

I know what you're referring to, but try not to take it too personally; some people are just ignorant and small-minded
yeah, im okayish now, had an afternoon nap seems to have settled me somewhat!
[QUOTE="avhhs;37449709"]
Oh God. I hate those kind of people so much
. They are so ignorant. I suggest that you don't look at this thread, because of some of the ignorance displayed 
is crazy how ignorant so many people are about these things, I once met someone who didn't believe in mental health issues or learning difficulties, part of me just wanted to smack them over the head with something!

That was the sound of my brain bidding farewell to the last vestiges of sanity (Russian oral overload).
Original post by Webberino This is my second one in an hour.
Actually managed to sit down for an hour straight and revise last night, usually it's at most 10 minutes. If I could just do that consistently then there wouldn't be a problem but it's like as soon as I sit down my mind goes "aah work = stress, must stop!". Wish I could control my ridiculous mind!
On the plus side Ronnie won the World Championship!
Aww sounds like a complete nightmare! Make-up departments make me feel really intimidated and I hurry past them. At least it's over!
Have you made a decision about the leavers do?

That's great, well done!
I am going for now but my mum said if I don't feel like going on the day then it isn't a problem.
Coursework deadline is tomorrow and I'm just sat here. Really struggling with motivation. I have to make corrections to the coursework I did in about half an hour in February because I couldn't be bothered doing it then either. It won't go away!
Feeling down again and that makes me feel a bit relieved that I'm not inbetween anymore.
Fluoxetine dose was upped yesterday so my sleep is just getting worse and worse. I'm not too bad getting to sleep, it's usually under an hour now but I wake up loads in the night and rising early is a problem too. I've got a weird achey headache atm, not sure if that's a side effect.
How have you been today?

I thought it was last week?
I can't do this essay. I have 4 tests before next Thursday and I can't stop messing things up. Why can't I just sit down and do some work?!
I spent a couple of hours researching for a question, went to a lecture and changed my mind and chose a different question. I just keep going from one question to the other hoping for a 'eureka' moment so I can do this stupid essay.
And I have been on the verge of tears all day. I just want to hide in bed and cry.
Rant over.
