hey, hope your ok 
Oh no I am, that's the thing, nothing major just feeling a bit meh. Like there is nothing wrong why am I feeling bad?
Just spoke to my thesis adviser, bad news a lot of work to do, good news mostly just re-writing and writing stuff up no more empirical work apart from one smaller thing and then should be a good grade. But yea thought I was almost done, now I'm torn one hand that good grade is possible on the other still quite a lot of re-writing (i.e. also a lot has to be cut, never nice to see work you done cut).
But I guess I will stop looking for internships atm and concentrate on that. Do one thing at a time.
How are you?

its ok to have days where you dont know why your feeling down, i often have them, everyone does
its good that hes helping you, and even better that you can get an awesome grade from it!
yeah i suggest spending time doing your thesis, then when thats either nearly done, or done, then concentrate on your next task
urrrrm quiet honestly i have no clue
im ok i think, just missing my boyfriend a massive amount, and still have like 2 weeks till i next see him

IIRC youv spoken to her about stuff before that you thought she would be disgusted at, and when you did talk to her about it, you found it actually helped, and she wasnt disgusted in anyway. shell want to help you because she cares about you, she sounds like a really nice woman, and doesnt mind if you go into flashbackss in front of her and stuff.
is there any way you could tell her part of it that your more comfortable with disclosing and see how that goes?
or could you prehaps get the letter to her just before your appointment so you dont have to see her face when she first reads it?if thats what your more worried about?

Last stuff i told her that i was really scared about i gave her written stuff and then just cried and had flashback. she talked to me but i didn't talk out loud about it. i have disclosed everything except this one thing basically and its the thing that's really distressing me so i dont think theres any way around it but telling her. i'm thinking about emailing her it, but dont want to take up her time outside of my appointment :s plus i'd have to see her after anyway so i dont know if it would make a difference...
(sorry for rejecting all advice btw, i know i'm being all crappy about this but i think it's just something i need to keep talking about so i actually have the guts to do it)

And that's horrible, when I was in a relationship I think 2 weeks was the most we spent apart! Maybe plan something really nice you can do together you can look forward to? Can you text/skype him daily though?

dont appologise, im just suggesting different ideas for you, not expecting you to do any of them! i just know that personally i like to have different ideas thrown at me when im unsure of something.
sending the email sounds like a really good plan hun, she wont mind at all, i bet a lot of people do it
you still have to see her yes, but A) she will already know, so you dont have to see her initial reaction B) it may reduce the posibility of a flashback C) she may be able to get some info to the help you ready for the appointment

Aww, I'm sure he didn't mind. You could always ask your doctor about different sleeping pills if zopiclone not working is a regular thing - I've been on zolpidem before and although it didn't do the job that well for me it might for you.
I'm alright - seeing study coach today and he's usually good at motivating me to work so fingers crossed I can get the dissertation back on track...

i need to sort out with my mum to get a lift, because i cant afford a bus AND presents
Doc keeping me on 100mg sertraline for another two months despite my ph9 score going up. He also felt the need to explain hormones and "happy chemicals".
Am going back probably next week to see the doc I normally see since she seems better and I need another note.

Thought I'd check in since its been a while. Have now moved house. Have had a lot of medical problems causing me to kind of be up and down mood wise a lot but I'm ok just now. Change of scenery has helped a bit and organising a lot of uni stuff as I'm one of my uni's student associations' vice presidents so lots of stress finalising Freshers week etc. But busy is good
Hope everyone else is doing ok. Hugs to all who need them. x

I don't actually mind insects/molluscs too much, but surprise ones are horrible.
---
Intrusive thoughts about CBT stuff continuing to be ****e. Need to talk about something pretty horrible (PTSD related) with therapist but I don't really want to, and it's still almost 2 weeks until my next appointment. Feel really guilty for continually talking it over with the same people, but I need to talk it through repeatedly otherwise I am going to bottle out of telling her about it. Again. Urgh I dunno.

Mostly it was nasty cos it reminded me of the period when I was so ill I wouldn't even get out of bed all day, and there were slugs living under the bed which I couldn't make myself deal with.
I think emailing her is the way to go - she'll probably have some time set aside to be thinking about your case anyway, so it's not like you're intruding. And that way you have any time within two weeks to feel brave enough to tell her, rather than within a single appointment.
And you're a great person who she's not going to lose respect for - in fact I suspect the opposite, that the more she finds out about you the greater respect she'll have for you and your ability to carry on (has been the case with me and other society members at least).

Ahhhh they're so cute!! And this is completely random but I was on the rodent section of the pet forums website, went on the adoption bit, and saw your mice!!
I got my two a flying saucer today from pets at home; I've already got a wheel in the cage but I don't want them to start squabbling, so I thought I'd just double everything! I got them another food bowl as well....I have a bit of a pink/ purple theme going, seeing as all my other pets are boys I was happy to embrace stereotypical girls pinkness!
Edit: Also, a slug in my pack of celery beats yours on a sponge :P Good thing the celery was for the guinea pig!

Which website's that?
Yeah, is good to have multiple wheels - I've got two for them as well, one (massive) flying saucer one silent spinner. It's great when they all try and go on at the same time, especially when it's not always in the same direction.
I've now managed to get two of them to run across my hand, although not to stay put yet - looking forward to when they're more comfortable with me, as I have all kinds of plans for games and training for them!
Bleah, makes me wish I had a pet hedgehog - then I could just feed it the slug!
I now also want pictures of your guinea pig you realise.

All good stuff, am glad to hear it.
actually socialised AND told someone that i havnt spoken to or seen but knows i went to uni that i failed, i wasnt going to, but someone brought it up, and i didnt feel bad talking about it
we also sorted out my mums birthday, because that was stressing me out. my mum had booked it off work specially, then my step dad decided to he was going to the isle of man with a friend
so my mum was really upset about that. so now were having aa "girls night in" with drinks, and getting fish and chips from a local chippy thats supposed to be reallllly nice Original post by PonchoKid

yeah you might be right tbh. i'm kind of worried about (a) cos I sort of want to see her initial reaction. if shes disgusted I want to know, so I can understand that I definitely am unfixable and I know I can do something that i'm currently holding off on because I think I could get better. (b) is good though, and that's true about (c). I hadn't thought about it maybe making it easier for her to read it beforehand.
one of my friends ("Nut." who used to post here) is staying at mine next week and we've decided it'll be easier for me to talk about this stuff if she can be there after at least. so she's going to stay here until my CBT appointment. I need to email therapist at some point and ask about whether it's ok for her to be in the waiting room (you need a code to get in and i'm not sure if it's OK in general to bring a non-patient in) or maybe even in the room with me. i'm not sure if asking either of those things is asking too much though... therapist is already seeing me at a mega-reduced fee so I can afford to see her, and I don't wanna ask any more of her. but I also don't think I can do it on my own and get home safely after. so need to figure out how to compose an email asking about it.

big
on slug things. is so **** when you're too ill to take care of things properly, but not your fault and i'm really glad you're doing better than that now. yeah that is true, I probably will email. or at least email saying I have something important to talk about and "shall I email stuff across or bring it with me?". cos that way she'll make sure I do give her stuff.
i dunno. she already knows all about what happened to me so it isn't gonna be like "oh you survived and are strong" stuff. more like "oh, you might have survived but you responded like that? urgh." and even though i know its true i still don't want other people to know about it. eurgh. makes me feel so sick to think about those thoughts in someone elses head.

Attention all generous-minded people!
The awesome-by-association-plus-likely-in-her-own-right girlfriend of bullettheory is doing a sponsored sky dive for a mental health charity called Rethink - I saw the link in bullettheory's sig and decided to donate, and thought other like-minded people might want to donate also.
The website's here for anyone who can afford it and would like to give something (I think the minimum donation was £2), and even if you can't I'm sure she'd appreciate a message via PMing bullettheory.
