Also feeling awful about Thursday - is going to be my mums wedding.
Sister and I are bridesmaids and have sleeveless dresses and I've been attempting to avoid SH for this reason but hasn't been entirely successful and I'm terrified of questions from family I don't know that well. Also not met any of my mum's fiances family before so am absolutely petrified of meeting so many new people, and having to be around so many new people all day. Will only know Mum/ brother / sister and partners well at all and then only the names of a few aunts and uncles. (Not really a close family at all, and I don't know many of my mum's friends). Just going to be horrible. Am majorly dreading it, I hate new people!

The awkward moment when you realise you told somebody it took you 2 minuets to climb your bunk ladder due to OCD.
I'm so embarrassed! I told them I have OCD and made it sound so bad. I mentioned seeing a psychiatrist too so now they know that's where my meds came from. I don't really mind them knowing but I made it sound so bad and I don't know how they reacted or if they even remember cos there was alcohol involved so not everything is clear. Ah man I feel so awkward!

going downhill massively dont like it and dont know what to do

Awww noooo that situation must be really tough

If you are able to can you stay close to the people you trust? Remember that it is your Mum and her Fiancé's day so all eyes are going to be on them, which could be a good thing. :-) xxxx




It's ok, I think nowadays people can be more open minded about OCD than they used to be. You say you don't mind the person knowing, which is great. Besides drunkenness is the best forgettant. Is that a word?

I'm debating with myself whether or not to venture into the debate forum to ask a question that has been bugging me for ages. I think my anxiety would not be able to handle it if I had loads of people telling me I was wrong and stupid. Despite having a great weekend I don't think I'm ready for that kind of torture just yet!

The thought that, of course, all eyes will be on my mum is actually really reassuring, thank you for pointing it out, a different perspective is so useful.

You could ask your question here in a test run where we will probably/hopefully all be more supportive. I don't mind if you wanna run the question by me. Then depending on results here you might feel more confident

That's good to hear! :-) I have decided not to (chickened out of!) post on the debate forums. Too many trolls! It is just about respect, and why people always say "respect is earned, not given." Just really bugs me and I want to know why.

I broke up with the one I loved 2 months back... we had an amazing time together... we were great friends for an year then we got together for a month... i got too attached... she had told me she'd break up with me after a month... knowing all this... i still got attached... ... she started working so she got busy and i think has moved on... i on the other hand... still am fighting my depression... and the worst part is we study in the same university, its a small uni and we have the same friends circle... and noone knows about us... so people assume we are really good friends... so i will have to see her talking to guys and all... and i will kill me from the inside... i sill love her... i am very depressed... i need some help... but the college counselor is out on a leave... she and i will meet each other after a 2 months in 10 days... so i am anxious about the meet
I am facing these problems
1. disturbed sleep pattern
2. easily angered at small things
3. feeling melancholic
4. when someone talks about her i get disturbed
5. chronic fatigue
6. concentration issues
7. anxiety issues
8. i am not a smoker... but i feel so stressed that I resort to smoking
9. unexplained headaches and stomach upset
10. once I had a manic episode wherein i slept for hardly 4 hours and worked out 2 times in day and I still wasnt tired, this mania lasted for a day and the next day I was shaking my hands and legs involuntary and after noon... i was so dead and lil depressed.

could I have bipolar or borderline? I will see my college counselor very soon

I was doing the searching and when I told him about it he was like "no, it can't be that much, I found it cheaper". Always does that .

No worries hun, my phone is playing up but I knew that's what had happened Hope you're alright and this morning was successful!

Came home for the weekend and wish I hadnt, "dad" and extended family deciding to verbally abuse me for no reason, been too scared to go downstairs to even get something to eat. He's ruined everything enough why does he have to carry on, I can't even see my mum and sister. I genuinely think he just wants to kill me. No matter what I do he'll always be there to scare me, there's no way out

I'm presuming you're too young to have seen the Goodness Gracious Me sketch on Mr/Uncle "I can get you cheaper"? Can't seem to find any YouTube clips to show you, which is a shame



Hey, being rich isn't a guaranteed ticket to happiness! Everyone has their own **** going on, in spite of money problems or being excessively wealthy (or anything in between!) I know it's really easy to get stuck in this particular rut but if you're always comparing yourself to others, then you're never gonna live!



I'm OK thanks. Tattoo consultation today



I'm glad you knew I wasn't ignoring you. Sorry I wasn't in touch yesterday. The morning was a success! I got the tickets and managed to stay up for close to 16 hours So spent the day with my friend hanging out in London, which was nice

Hope you're OK lovely

are you okay? is there anything we can do to help? can be here if you are still up/need distractions.

I can't sleep due to hunger pangs but I can't let myself eat. Feeling crap.

Never heard of it

Thanks. Told my mum I'm meeting a "friend" for coffee

Oh nothing exciting: my friends wanted tickets for an exhibition on Pompeii at the British Museum, so I woke up at 6.30am to get them for her

Sneaky!!

I hereby officially disown you! :fuhrer:





You should look it up on YouTube. HILARIOUS!



Has anyone talked to you about doing CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy)? I think if you could learn to use its techniques, it could help you

(Also, 200 more posts and then I will have 30,000 post on TSR )

I'll look at it later

You must be near the top of the all time post leaders table!! Why aren't you a mod?

I don't like having responsibilities. Had to even give up my role as a Community Assistant on PS Help coz the pressure (from myself, not from anyone in there or the workload) became too much

i dont even remember writing that
id took a sleeping pill and it took about 2 hours to work, and weird things were happening to me, but i dont think they were halucinations, was weird.

hope you got sleep eventually.

Thank-you Getting there I suppose.. doing it for my parents.. but yeah, it's a start I guess.
