Sorry to hear you're not feeling good tonight hun How about wrapping up in a blanket with a hot drink? Try and do something which keeps you calm and relaxed - and if you feel like it, it's okay to cry! It can sometimes be somewhat of a relief. I hope you feel better soon

Had a really nice evening. Was back at music (I play in a scottish traditional music band ) and it went really really well. Have lots of arrangements that I've missed to pick up so that will give me something to focus on during the day, because I'm still not allowed back at school. Apparently I'm not well enough yet. Still dont agree with that but have no choice but to go along with it. Pretty annoyed that I'm missing my final year of school.

I'm feeling a bit annoyed with myself that I can't seem to bring myself to contact Mind or a therapist or somewhere for help. I'm too shy, I keep procrastinating, don't truly want to admit that I might have a problem, etc. But the constant very low feelings of disappointment and stuff just keep returning all the time and I don't know when/if I can ever fight them . Something needs to be done, but who knows what...

Ahh, hollyoaks! I used to watch that but I got sidetracked. I think I'm up to where Will and Ash (i think thats her name) are like on a cliff and he stands up and it's like woaaah.
It's this imaginary thing that happens once a blue moon!
Ah fairs.

i wish i wasn't so socially inept

Hey, I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. When it comes to contacting people it can take a lot of courage, so it's understandable that you're holding off. But I'm sure the people you'll talk to have spoken to people like you and will be nice. And hey it's hard to admit you have a problem, but at least you're thinking about it, which i think can be seen as a step in a better direction. And you can fight them, you can beat your feelings of sadness. You can.

Yeah thats ages ago now
I had a **** night last night involving nightmares and not expecting miricles tonight

Thanks for the reply. I another reason I'm so hesitant is because in the past when I've tried other counsellors and doctors they hadn't me very seriously, so it's put me off a little, but I guess I've just got to keep trying until I do find someone who's willing to help me properly.

Glad you had a lovely time! That's great, I'm so pleased for you lovely. Don't forget that the school thing might only be a very temporary and you may be able to return for the rest of the year. Failing that, there are lots and lots of other good options so it's nothing to worry about

Sorry to hear that It's hard when you feel really unmotivated but don't beat yourself up over it Just try and do things one thing at a time, try to break things down into small chunks so it's easier to manage. I hope it passes soon

Have you got anything to put on the sunburn? Any sudocrem or anything to sooth it? Sorry to hear you're feeling so rubbish, it sounds like you need a break :/ Do you have any relaxing distractions? There are some good free online games out there. Just keep yourself calm and safe. You're welcome to PM me if talking would help.

Thank you It was - I'm pretty sure it was what caused me to develop IBS which I still suffer from now even when I'm not anxious It just felt like my head was screaming at me all of the time, and I'd sometimes end up curled up in a ball in bed sobbing to try and make the bad thoughts go away. Didn't help that when things were at their worst, whenever I didn't feel anxious and like I couldn't switch off, I felt depressed and like I wanted to switch off all of the time. My boyfriend and I had loads of tearful arguments because I'd get upset over stupid things (sometimes even over nothing) and I always felt a whole lot worse after each one, especially when he started saying he felt like he was losing me to anxiety & depression. When I asked him why he'd stayed with me even though I knew I'd been horrible to him, he said it was because he knew that the girl he'd fallen in love with was still in there somewhere and that it was the anxiety talking, not me. I think I can count on one hand the number of times we've argued since I started to feel better at the end of May, but I think he's definitely a lot more understanding about it now than he was before because I'm better at opening up to him and telling him what he can do to help now.

Thank you! I'm just really really impatient. Want to be back.
How are you doing?

Thank you

If you have any sudocrem lying around then that's really good as it's soothing and also good for sunburn. Or also if you have any aloe vera gel, or maybe even some aftersun Sorry to hear you're struggling with the motivation too. It sounds like it would be great if you could get some sleep though I appreciate that might be hard. Have you looked into sleeping tablets maybe?

I know, it's understandable that you want to be with everyone else Though it gives more time for baking yummy things and doing fun non school related things (we still need to make that shortbread! )
I'm feeling pretty low but generally alright, thanks

Thanks to everyone who quoted me.





Do you play lots of ceilidhs (woo, spelt it right on only second attempt!)?
