Utterly flunked my 2nd year. PhD is out of sight now 
Original post by james1211
I found while they did seem to help me a slight bit it was so minimal it was almost placebo, and they did flat line very quickly. When I stopped them I became interested in my hobbies again overnight. I hadn't realised how much they had been numbing me. They do work to a degree in terms of getting you out of bed and into work or uni or wherever but they didn't increase my mood at all

it's been so long that i've been struggling with mood problems that i think i've forgotten what normal life feels like. for all i know this might be normal life
i stopped for a week last week (unintentionally, ran out) and felt horrible so i guess they're doing something but what they're doing is invisible to my mind. i still can't bring myself to do any of the activities that i used to love because i can't enjoy them and that makes me sad

I had a nap until midday as I couldn't sleep last night either why does your mum coming home make you anxious? Does she know and could you possibly tell her?
why does your mum coming home make you anxious? Does she know and could you possibly tell her?I was on holiday with her and a few other relatives last week, felt terrible and not very safe. Didn't socialise much and got drunk which "embarrassed her". So I bought myself a plane ticket home which she wasn't too pleased with. She's pretty awful at dealing with MH stuff and me in general and I'm just going to get shouted at about the whole thing plus whatever else I've done wrong. If I say she's making it worse the conversation will no doubt contain such helpful phrases as
"Why are you being like this?" "But I'm your mother" " You're not being reasonable" "You're upsetting me" and so on. And then she'll be passive aggressive and possibly give me the silent treatment followed by me receiving a phone call from my dad telling me to play nice because she's upset, overall not worth it

I do normally massively clean the house before they get home from holidays but you're right she just moans about other things. Since she's going to complain no matter what I do there's no point in trying to pander to it/ I'm feeling lazy today. The house could fall apart and I guarantee it would be my fault for not being psychic, slight exaggeration but I honestly wouldn't put it past her.

Yeah I know what you mean, I don't get it as badly but it does feel like that sometimes with my parents! Especially when they keep telling me to do different things and every time I do what one says the other tells me off
At which point I give up and decide that if I'm going to be told off anyway, it may as well be for doing what I wanted to do in the first place 
I wish I could do/say something to help but I'm out of suggestions, sorry- not sure as there is any right way of dealing with it if I'm honest just try not to come out with something you'll regret later if you can

Just act so engrossed in the puppy and they'll think you're just pet obsessed so it won't matter too much if you don't have a ton to say to them!

Not panicking isn't off to a great start. Might go hide in bed for a while.

Just realised I missed some apostrophes out in my last post, oops
I understand that I have a way to go, and things I need to work on, but I'm generally in a pretty good head space rn! It never seems to last though so I'm waiting for it to end Original post by lauraaaaa

It never seems to last though so I'm waiting for it to end My grammar is fully dependent on how bad I feel when typing, when I mix up their/there and abuse apostrophes then I'm not good :P
I know it sounds horribly cliché but maybe try to enjoy the good while it's here?

You could make your own? It makes it easier in some ways because you realise how ridiculous the things they are saying are. For instance the phrase "I'm your mother" isn't any sort of argument for me to do xy or z. I can send you the file just as soon as I leave the cocoon I've made since the floor isn't comfy.

my phone usually autocorrects things like apostrophes for me but, obviously not today
indeed, i've just signed up to do a spanish course in my first year of uni because, why the hell not when it's free? My mom thinks I'm mad but, if i fail, then it doesn't go on my degree transcript, and i didn't have to pay anyway so it's all fine. Plus, if i do pass, then it looks good as i did something else alongside my degree, other than 'i went to the pub' I managed an A at GCSE in year 9, so I think I'm fairly capable at Spanish :') this turned into a bit of a ramble Original post by Odd socks
