Long rant post, may be triggering

I've never been good at the advice stuff, but I can tell someone (deep down) wants one of these:

May I ask which uni? Just if it's Hull you can always hunt me down and rant to me

No offense but what did that person think a doctor would do about a cold? It can't be treated with antibiotics just rest and OTC cold remedies.


I saw a doctor in my first year at university about depression and she told me it was "teenage hormones" (at 19). My girlfriend at the time told me to push for help so I saw another doctor who diagnosed severe depression and immediately started me on antidepressants.

Ngl i agree with saber the drs can do naff all for a cold so its a complete waste of the drs time so no wonder they were a bit miffed!

I haven't tried it. I've never taken any vitamins. Any vitamin B in particular?

I actually have an app on my phone which checks interactions (it's part of my uni course).

Yeah, quetiapine is a killer for sedation. I don't know if this will help you, but what I did was take it earlier at night. I take it at around 7pm which is good for getting me off to sleep a few hours later but with less sedation in the morning. I can actually get out of bed now!

Seeing CCO tomorrow. Worried if I tell her that my housemates are spies and put recording devices in my room and thoughts in my head that aren't mine (bad things, but won't act on them as they're not my thoughts) that she'll get me sectioned. But then I hate not having anyone IRL to talk to about this stuff so I'm conflicted.

Oh and, when asked 'are you safe?' does this mean safe from yourself? Because I am safe from myself, but I'm worried about others hurting me. So no, I don't feel safe.

I would say that "safe" should include both safe from yourself and your general feeling of safety. If you're feeling unsafe it's important to let someone know. If you are scared and worried it's important to try and address it. I would encourage you to talk to her. Good luck and feel better soon.

How does anyone cope with feeling dead inside? It had got a bit better/less intense for a while but come back with a vengeance these last couple of weeks and really getting to me. I swear absolutely anything could happen and I'd barely even notice. This weekend should have been amazing but I just sat there thinking about really bad stuff for whole chunks of it. Hate it.

anyone that needs them. Also a very late happy birthday to @The_Lonely_Goatherd and to @Anon #2- am around if either of you want to talk

Essays are all done but now I'm coming down with something awful. Have brain scans today too.

Mentally not that great. Struggling to form thoughts etc. Just big waves of horrible feelings.

Hope you feel better How come you're having a brain scan?

I've just gotten worse all day but thank you.

Psychiatry requested them because I suffer really bad headaches and migraines. It's just a precaution, really.

Just had an exam in my math class. Needless to say, I will probably be redoing the class next semester.

Why doesn't anything stick in my brain other than those thoughts they're putting there? Exam on Friday in the class I've failed twice; no doubt I'll be redoing that one as well even though I've been working my ass off.
