And I just got back from somewhere with a friend, she needed to go and return something but didn't know where it was so I went with her :tongue:.

Thank you :hugs: I hope so. Got the crisis team coming in a minute so going to tell them how crappy I feel and see what happens. Just feel so bad for falling behind with work already, just have no motivation and no concentration. I tried to read today but just read one page, burst into tears and gave up. That's all today has been - crying a lot and clinging onto my girlfriend. Really am being too clingy atm - she's just gone to the shops now to get something and I was panicking about her going, asking if she's going to come back and crying at the thought of her just walking out and leaving... Thank you, how are you?


Its good to be honest with them, its so cliche but the more honest you are the more they can help :yep:
Are uni aware of the situation? You will be ok i have so much faith in you!
Crying and clinging can be good sometimes, i was like that with rory the other night so you dont need to feel bad :nah:
Shes not gonna walk out on you because even i can tell she cares so much about you!

All iv dont today is sleep as i had a job interview yesterday and its literall taken it out of me which is quite scary :/

Hope the crisis team goes ok :hugs:

if it was aiming to reduce stigma then surely they shouldnt have written what they did next to the pictures? :dontknow: i found the info next to it very sort of rude and stuff... as if it was saying "this is what people with these illnesses are actually like"

I think you shouldn't worry about that if you had nothing else to do, you can feel quite refreshed sometimes if you do that :yep:

Well, she asked me first :tongue:. I'm sure she is also having problems fitting in and stuff :erm:. We are going to the bank tomorrow :smile:.
I consider the Daily Mail story is belittling the profound impact all the various illnesses and symptoms can have on an individual and their families. Feel pretty insulted. Thank god for the free press!

For once I don't actually have a problem with a daily mail article - I took it as just a piece highlighting an artists' work rather than a veiled attack or anything and found it fairly clear the captions are only the artist's personal opinion of his 'monsters'. Have seen the pictures floating around the internet for a while now and I quite like them. I've been keeping a sort of visual journal for a while now and quite often draw my own versions of what I imagine my mental illness to look like, so I find it interesting to see other interpretations. I do quite like the idea of drawing a tangible creature to try and explore the idea it's something external to fight rather than an internal failing and I find it quite cathartic to put feelings and thoughts into a visual form (...should so have done art therapy. even if just for the excuse to mess around with proper equipment rather than crappy 50p watercolours :colone:).
How do I stay in touch with my sister? She is my only family and friend. But when I see her she cries because she feels we might never see each other again. How can I keep making her feel this pain? How do I share, without being an emotional burden on her?

Why does she feel she might never see you again? (Or is this one of those things we're not allowed to talk about on tsr?) I use skype and facebook to talk to my brother. If this is what we're not allowed to talk about, I'd suggest telling her that you're doing your best and you're talking to all the professionals/taking your medication/engaging in therapy - just so she knows you have support other than her and that should hopefully relieve some of the stress.
My eyes are like proper red - stupid contact lenses!

Uni is starting to get really tough now and I'm actually struggling to keep up with my workload for once. Usually I'd leave it to the last minute but if I do that now, I'll fall so behind. Just got so much to do now :sad:
Concerning the monsters from the Daily Mail:

1) Concerning it is the Daily Mail it is extremely good, especially the link to mind.org
2) It took me some time to understand, that these monsters should represent the illness by itself and not ill persons.
3) I don't know wether I shall find it good or bad. Anyway, more on the level of a children book, not more.
