Hostel I'm staying at has wifi. Croatia is really warm and overall have had a good day. Just worrying because the room we've ended up on is more expensive than I budgeted for, my own fault for messing up the booking but does make me worry I'm going to run out of money. Like I've checked my bank account and there's no way it'll stretch til I get home. Even when I finally March my friend to the bank to get my money I'm still going to end up short. I can borrow money from my parents but it just feels like such a screw up. Also they're then going to realise I have basically no plan on how I'm going to afford heading to Cyprus when I get home. My plan there is just to not really spend any money at all which I suspect isn't actually possible.
So I'm exhausted after getting up at 2am to catch my flight then spending the day sightseeing but I can't even contemplate sleep right now even though we're getting up at 6:30 to do more sightseeing. I want to see all the stuff but this place just seems to eat money.
Dreading to think what I'm going to be like if my student loan doesn't come through by the time term starts.

I had a similar experience when i went to a "Recovery Awareness Program" for all kinds of addictions, a lot of the people there were 40+. It is a bit worrying seeing older people with the same problems, but at the same time, it's a sign that you're fighting this a lot quicker than most. It took them a long time to get where they are, but you are already there at a much younger age. It's a sign of your strength :hugs:

You never know when something may click, and things could start to fall into place. Good things can happen at the most unexpected of times. :smile:

I got all worried about having electric stuff near the bath, as awesome as it is :biggrin: Maybe when i have disposable income it won't bother me so much :tongue:


I guess that's one way of looking at it. When I was at the hearing voices group, whilst I didn't ask, I got the impression that these people had been struggling for a long time and it's like sure I'm getting help but it's not doing anything, am I going to end up like them when I'm 40? I know this sounds really arrogant of me but they were unemployed, overweight and smoked a hell of a lot- which I know is kinda normal with severe mental illnesses but it's like I was looking at my own future, hence why I gave up going even though the actual talking bit was pretty helpful.

The toilet in my bathroom is nearish to the bath so I can put the laptop on top without being so close that I need to worry about it getting wet. But yeah I won't use my phone in the bath as I get scared I'll drop it in :tongue:

Haha :redface: Is wife being more helpful recently? :smile:

Good :biggrin: Yeah was fun!
Guardians of the Galaxy! Tempted to see Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and How to Train Your Dragon 2, too :tongue: Even if I've seen those two already :colondollar: GotG has some pretty great reviews by the sounds of things though :smile: Going to head off in a bit I think! It's at 6pm-ish too, which is good as I'll get back around 10ish maybe, avoid relatives a bit (not that they're not nice, but just makes it easier)



Not really. She still thinks tickling is an appropriate response. :sigh:

I've seen Guardians of the Galaxy it was pretty good. What did you think of it? I really want to see Let's be cops but my wife says the reviews are crap so she's not seeing it.
TLG Update: Huge influx of relatives for the summer (started yesterday) so will hardly be on here. Don't panic if I don't post for many days in a row! :colondollar:

I'll just start talking because the title of this thread is 'mental health'.

My story isn't as bad as many of you people on this page but for me it is very hard. When I was two years old my parents divorced, we lived in New York we are American. When they divorced my mum decided to come to England. I wasn't used to this at all considering everything about New York leaving all my family, I only had my brother and sister and my mum. My dad had made a plan that every summer me and my brother and sister move back for the duration of the holiday. I know this May seem like a very good thing, it is for me I love it but at the end of summer I have to leave my dad and my country. I live in a small town a aswell which I hate because the neighbors are always doing bad things (I won't go into detail) I've been to CAMS or however you spell it and it was alright but I decided not to because they placed me on tier three which is self harm which I don't deliberately do. I just need to talk to someone with the problems. I'm sixteen and in nine days again the torture of separating from my father begins. If you read this thankyou.

The worst thing is she does know about my MH problems yet she still puts me down and makes fun of me, calls me names and expects me to run around after her, even though she knows how much stress I'm under just now :frown: I'd wanted to cut ties with her gradually but maybe now is the time to do it, she's mad at me anyway so I might just tell her to stop being friends with me :s-smilie:

Thanks :hugs:

Oh my :shock: Definitely cut her out - I'm so sorry you've had to put up with this :console: Just distance yourself and get her away!!

I take it you're a US citizen? In which case I think you can move back to the US without restriction. You say you're 16 so you could try going to university in the US once you reach 18?

I tried to cut things nicely, I apologised and spent ages working on a message to tell her how I'm feeling and not blaming her, but she's really pissed at me now. I feel sick, there's a huge pit of anxiety in my stomach now :/

Just block her from your phone. You don't need **** like this :nope:
Will reply to people in a bit :redface:


Finished watching film - which was really really good, and I check my phone and on facebook some friends have made a message group to organise some camping to the lake district - in part just so they can meet up with me (I think/from the sounds of it) - I moved away from where they live (and all my friends) in february, and it's just so lovely and awesome of them.

But for some reason my mind doesn't think "oh yay, I can be happy" it just starts to get scared, and I get anxiet-y, and then walk back home feeling as low as anything and just so confused because I know I shouldn't be. :frown:

And part of me knows that I'm a good friend, and that so are they, but at the same time I'm telling myself that I'll just disappoint them/I'm rubbish, and for some reason that bit of me wins and I just feel rubbish and confused and stupid :frown: :s-smilie:

I'm not sure when they're hoping to do it and I'm just scared to see what's happening/have to reply. I replied to say "Sounds good"/etc. but they've said stuff since then/I have notifications. I don't know :s-smilie:

I just hate it :frown:


Edit: I do have some KFC to munch on though :redface: I mean munching on chips on the way back didn't help, but I left the piece of chicken for now. :sad:

Don't reply. Leave her to cool down. Seriously ignore her, she's making you feel **** for no reason but to make herself feel better (so twisted, but likely).

Distract yourself instead - watch some tv or read a book etc. It'll be worth cutting ties :yep:

I'm here for you :hugs:
