Yes. It's a medication side effect. Finally worn off, though.
I wish mine was meds
iv always had them and dunno if theres something deaperPosted from TSR Mobile
Well I received some fairly good news today.
I managed to get a high 2.2 in one of my exams! I know it doesn't seem that impressive, as it's final year and it's only 1 out of 3 (I had an awful panic attack in the first and left after 25 minutes and the final one my anxiety was so bad I couldn't do it) but in the grand scheme of things it's made me feel slightly better knowing that I did at least OK in one, it also means that's one less to resit in summer.

Try not to worry too much about it if you can? 
Can you share results with the other people in your group? Or maybe go with your friends when they do there's/steal some of the people they use 
Seems really unfair that you have to find your own people and just tough.
Was going to say if you're near coventry then I'd be happy to though I realise that chances are you aren't 
Are you grounded okay? lots of
Reading through Jay's thing, makes more sense now 
Very sorry that it's like that, though Not a wuss at all! 
They wouldn't expect you to play at all with an infection/not well 
They ended up cold because I was writing on here and in diary but were nice still I guess... - Yeah exactly 
These were shop bought ones 
Didn't even bother
same as the last one (they're every fortnight) Just bleh :/ Yeah I think I *could* but I'm not sure how much it's me understanding and how much - and I think that it's this - it's just me needing to put in some work/look through notes/actually copy up lectures I miss and pay attention in lectures. Just finding it difficult atm to do any of those/keep missing them too, and don't know what to do really Just got to hope I can revise okay/better than last year - last year was saved by the fact that exams had A-level stuff in partly, and weren't too difficult. This year I haven't a clue on *any* of it :/ sorry, just a ramble
Haha We're having a pixar film night at the student cinema - first film is Toy Story which is in 35mm film! Just been "making it up"/checking that it's in good shape this evening - unfortunately it isn't but fixing the bits okay Is good fun! but probably need to do less because I think it might be eating my time up/stopping work, but I'm just so confused about it and could ramble for/against for ages
Hope you've had a good day!
Make sure to still post here!

Small basically irrlelvent thing.
Essay that I stressed abotu for a week and then spend all day alternating between crying and writing last Friday came back as a 1st. It doesn't count for nothing but I just had such mixed feelings about it because I did nothing differently except I was in a terrible place mentally. Don't have time to really think about it though because I have another one to write for tomorrow and six lectures to learn (I'd make a joke about the never ending workload but right now that's actually how it seems since I have three more essays due for next week).
Have been feeling better and then today my mood has dropped again. Apparently I'm not a fan of Fridays.

lots of people now think I am autistic due to my relationships obsession and the jarring un-natural way I write, do you think this is a possibility? I think it's just that my anxiety is still present at baseline.

Guys just be honest, am I a man-child? My illness has obviously made me a very prickly individual who is difficult to get on with.
I don't think you should be so quick to judge yourself and apply labels. You're allowing others opinions of you to cloud your judgment. I really hope you're ok. Lots of people have autistic tendencies but are not autistic

I'm not seeing anybody, no. I know it isn't good or healthy but I can't/don't want to stop which is silly I know.
Really? I remember doing it when I was 11/12 thinking it was normal. Don't do it much now though really despite feeling guilty for not doing so.

Please spoiler triggering content...
I'm getting better at this "socialising" thing.
This time a few months ago I had nothing filling my days (other than work - but considering I work from home that doesn't really help).
Now, I have band practice two nights a week, official date night with my partner one night a week, rugby league another night when they're playing at home, and today I'm off to meet my uni friends for lunch. So I've gone from never going out and hating myself for it, to going out quite regularly and as a result being able to enjoy rather than endure quiet time on my own.
However, my dad has noticed this and has suggested that I go and see his dad (my grandad) with him in a few weeks. I don't want to. He has severe dementia which I find upsetting and scary, and the other family who we have in that area of the country are pretty much strangers to me. We spend one or two days with them every 18 months, and I have never gone without my mum and brother. I just do not want to. I've told my dad this but he's not having it, and says that they're family so I should want to see them. Well to be fair, they weren't really part of my childhood - as I say, a few days here and there as well as sending cards at Christmas and on birthdays - so I just don't know them!! I could make conversation with my next door neighbour better!
It's a 6hr drive away which also isn't appealing to me. AND if I go we will have to stay in a hotel because it upsets him to have his routine at home changed (so if Dad goes he can stay at the house, but if I come we can't) and tbh I can't afford to stay in a hotel at the moment as I'm still recovering from Christmas and a holiday I booked. My own fault I know, but done is done.
How do I let him know that I'm *really* not coming? Every problem I have he comes up with what he sees as a solution. But I don't see it as that!

I assume my judgment as an addict is clouded, that's why :/
how have things been for you Trading? Haven't seen you in a while
I think I need to stop thinking staying up to write essays is an option. It definitely shouldn't be a weekly thing of how I spend Fridays. Senior tutor at college has said I can stay during easter even if the porters get annoyed that I've not put my form in yet. The university might be terrible but he is pretty good at getting things sorted out. He's going to email a private therapist that the college will pay for so I don't have to wait months for an nhs one. Think I was fairly lucky to get assigned to the senior tutor when I arrived since he is basically in charge of what the students do and can override most people in college to let me stay outside of term and he doesn't need the bursars permission to sort out counselling etc.
