i have no idea what i'm doing any more, it's like i'm living two lives - public sarah (actively trying to overcome things) and private sarah (still trying to further her bad ambitions) and i don't know whether i'm more public or private atm. all i know is that i wanna make the most of my placement next week, so i cant be fainting and collapsing everywhere, but at the same time the thought of reversing all this hard work terrifies me so i'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place.
After waiting months for an appointment with a new psychiatrist it has now been cancelled for the fourth time. It is getting beyond a joke. I am starting to think my file from the hospital says that I am scum and deserve to be left rotting in the gutter they left me in.
If it weren't for the fact I was in rehab and have a support worker to motivate me I would have just given up by now and waited until I had my next episode and got dragged away kicking and screaming.
They complain that you don't seek help early on but make it impossible to do so. My illness is life altering and at times, life threatening and yet it is near impossible to get the help needed.

That's pretty awful. Can they not get you to see a different psychiatrist instead, if that one keeps becoming unavailable?

I think this was a different one. They said it was due to doctor sickness. I just can't understand how it keeps happening. I think there must be more to it than meets the eye. I think someone is ****ing with me or something.
I am now failing to see the point of even pursuing it. They have never helped anyway. I have a better chance buying psychotropic drugs off my own back and trying to get myself stable then relying on them. Either that or moving abroad or living under a new identity so I have a clean record. I thought coming here would help but everything is connected so they know who I am and I'll get the same treatment wherever.

Hi, I posted a thread as well but it didn't go through yet. Does anyone have experience of applying for extenuating circumstances at university for anxiety? One of my parents was diagnosed with cancer at the start of this term, and since I have been really quite bad. I went to the doctors today and she gave me a letter to hand to the university. On it she wrote that I was suffering from "severe anxiety secondary to some very difficult life events". She listed some symptoms and concluded "I would be very grateful if you could take these significant issues into consideration".
Will severe anxiety and my family issues be taken as extenuating circumstances?
What can I expect, if they do accept?
Thanks.

Decided to have a bath for a change to try and calm myself down a bit, but used the wrong soap stuff and had an allergic reaction/came out in a rash, then went in the shower to wash it off and had an asthma attack after going from warm to cold too quick. Not my brightest ever move, and still no calmer than I was to start with
To Panda and Scary- hope you're both ok!

I'm in the process of applying for extenuating circs for anxiety atm. They should accept it. (I've been having pretty horrific anxiety and panic attacks every three weeks...)

Thanks for the reply. I'm just really nervous they won't take it.
Do you know what sort of action they can take if they do accept?
I have no idea chick. Mines more so the department knows I'm not well, and that I'm on prescription medication for it.

I don't know what uni you're at but at Oxford (where I did my undergrad), I'm pretty sure people with anxiety issues are (subject to approval from "the powers that be") allowed to sit their exams in isolation, rather than having to sit cooped up in the uber-scary exam building with everyone else
