I want to study tonight but my dad will be in the house and I'll feel guilty
Actually
I want to get a degree but I feel guilty for it, what the hell

Know the feeling about using computer as coping emchanism. Can't even remember why I came on today, supposed to be alecture at 11 :s-smilie:

How's everyone?

They put a B instead of an F for our road name :facepalm: but spoke to ATOS and they said no letters have been sent out which is good. Been a nightmare day!

There wont be dogs or cats on the site (other than between about 3 and 6 on the sunday afternoon i think were the only people on the site anyway)
Unless however you go on the national trust walk there will be dogs there but not on the site its self.
Although like rob said there will be a wolf on site at all times, but she just gets over excitable thats all :tongue:

Thanks Poncho. I just hope there won't be any dogs approaching me, I don't mind it if they mind their own business but they can sense the fear from a mile away.

Let's hope the wolf doesn't mind me hanging around. :smile:

Got a referral from my doctor to see a specialist and ended up seeing them over the weekend- shockingly soon!
Meant my bf was around which was quite nice. The doctor had a few ideas of what might be the matter so I had a blood test while I was there to check. I'm terrible with blood tests so I was really glad my bf was there with me. :smile:
I'll get the results in a week or so and hopefully we'll be able to sort this whole thing out before I go to uni.
I thought he was going to be like others and not take me seriously, but he totally got it! He asked questions that nobody had asked me before which got to a few possible causes.
Luckily I think it's all pretty simple to deal with, although I may end up taking tablets for the rest of my life.

I'm already getting a little impatient waiting for the results. :colondollar: I just want to sort all of this out as soon as I can. It's been so long and I just want to be better. I'm fed up with being so exhausted all the time!

Oh well it will be soon enough. I'll just have to find something to keep me occupied until then. :smile:

I am using Zopiclone since last 4 months and purchased these tablets from the online store of sleeping-tablets.org without any prescription and it is doing well. Earlier, I was having sleep disorders and unable to concentrate on my studies but thankfully I am doing well now:wink:. Can you guys recommend me some more names there from where I can purchase the pills.


I recommend that people NEVER take medication that they haven't been prescribed or purchase medication online or from anything other than a recognised pharmacy.

Hi guys, I've never posted before but I am so miserable aha! I am trying my absolute best everyday to put on a brave face and get on with life but it's really difficult! I lost my boyfriend, and I failed a year. Things are getting quite tough atm. Tonight I have to stay up and do my dissertation, and I'm sort of hating it. Ohhh nooo :smile:


Welcome to the society. :smile:

I hope your dissertation's going well, I know I found it pretty difficult to work on with my depression.

This thread moves so quickly!

Hello again. I thought I'd post here once more since I have something on my mind and I have spent far, far too much time alone and I want to talk, but I doubt this will be read, haha.

I seem to have reached a strange plateau, a weird new equilibrium. I stopped taking the citalopram quite some time ago, but only because I left it at home, but I think it has done its job. I have not felt low for several weeks now, which is brilliant, great. But things are still not right, and I can see that but I don't know what to do. I have been avoiding virtually everyone and everything, for the whole of this term. I spend full weeks in my room, which is in a horrific state and when I turn round to look at it I'm momentarily disgusted but then I turn back to my computer and it's not a problem any more. The things that would be part of a daily routine just seem like nothing now. My email inbox is filling up, my to-do list still has many things to do, yet I still avoid.

And my academic work, where do I even begin? I feel like I shouldn't really be here, but I want to finish this degree more. I've just made such a mess of the year so far, I'm not sure how I can come back from this... it is perhaps ironic that my location is Reality when it seems to be exactly what I am trying so hard to avoid!

It feels like I am wearing a mask again, sometimes. I cannot (or have not) told my parents about how I feel now, or how I'm practically living like an animal, and I am a little evasive when they ask; I assume they have no idea.

What should I do now, please?


Antidepressants aren't like say antibiotics, where you take a course, you're cured, and you stop taking them. It's generally recommended that you keep taking them for at least three months after you've stopped feeling depressed, to lessen the likelihood of relapse. I'd go back to your doctor, say what's been going on and see if they recommend you restart the citalopram. :smile:

I'd also talk to your uni about how you're struggling - most unis will bend over backwards to help mentally ill students, but they can't do anything if they don't know about the issues!

You've definitely come to the wrong place. :hand:

Its good to hear you got so much done! Yeah blood tests can be scary, but in reality they aren't that painful or anything. They can find out quite a lot from a blood test(i think), and that gives me peace of mind.

Taking tablets for the rest of your life isn't necessarily a bad thing. Someone with asthma needs an inhaler, someone who's diabetic has to watch their sugar levels; a lot of people need to do something extra to stay healthy. It's not your fault either, it's just something you may need to do :smile:

I do hope things move along swiftly for you, but don't be disheartened if it seems to take a while. It seems to me that there isn't a quick and easy fix to problems like these, you just have to be determined and keep going. That said, as long as you keep trying, you will get to where you want to be, especially with someone like a good partner to help you.

Yeah I hate medical stuff, It makes me faint sometimes. I think it's under general anaesthetic and it's not major surgery but it's still scary. Hope it goes okay for you :hugs:

That sounds like a lot of my days >_> Only reason i'm up is because i had to go to a PIP thing at 9am(i barely slept), thankfully the lady that was talking to me was really friendly.

It is really nice outside today tho, try and get out if only for just a walk :tongue:

The weather looks delightful today! Treating myself to an ice-cream. :smile:

I do love Yorkshire and all this open space. Much better than grotty London.

I'm feeling very fragile of late, body in agony and my head is throbbing what with the noise of builders next door. I'm feeling very frustrated that I have to complete my course and apply for the app benefits and sorting out my issues with work. Not to mention getting the dr on board.

You're not moaning! :smile:

If you don't want to, then just tell them.
Good luck with the house hunt. :smile:

I am a bit :tongue: :s-smilie: But thank you :colondollar:
I ended up speaking to them a couple times - needed help :colondollar: - but ultimately spent most of the time in my room. They keep saying how they haven't seen me in ages, hoping they don't think something's up :frown: Keep mentioning how "it's like you're ignoring us, purple-duck!", and I'm not ignoring them as such, just hiding...
Thanks! Hopefully will be okay, irritating as I wanted to watch a film, but oh well... :grumble: Also it's going to be extremely stressful and this one person keeps expecting me to have got things done - and she's constantly been trying to get us to do stuff, while she hasn't really done anything :mad: But then she has stuff to deal with, so just trying not to explode at her :s-smilie:

Just about to have a choc ice, I think :biggrin:
Yorkshire's so lovely :redface: Really want to visit/go back there - lived in Harrogate for a few years when I was younger :smile:


-------------------------------------------------
Just handed in a couple assignments - still got so much to do, but a weight off my shoulders, at least.

My friend who knows about this was so nice and awesome last night :smile: Just being so nice and putting a smile on my face, even though I felt really rubbish!
Birthday soon and not sure whether to tell corridor people/celebrate at all - they know it, but hoping they forget it is. Does anyone else feel this way about their's? Don't know if it's just growing up/age or what :s-smilie:

Also: Still not sure on the camping :s: Haven't a clue what I'd tell parents. Though it's a friend's surprise Birthday party on the 5th in my hometown - so I'll be away from home already/anyway? Really want to, but not the best lier/would probably worry/stress lots. Is there a meet-up in the summer usually, too?

Hi :smile:
Could really do with picking the brains of anyone who has been diagnosed with a mental health condition whilst at university (rather than starting uni with an existing mental illness)... Have you made your uni aware? And if so, has it been beneficial? And how do you go about telling them, ie. Who did you speak to?
Thanks :smile:
Hope everyone is doing ok!
