back from counselling, new counsellor seems nice enough :smile: my biggest issue with the high turnover of staff at student services is that i have to waste an appointment by explaining whats going on with me - whereas if she were my old counsellor, i could have had a proper session with her :/

her eyes though when she asked me to tell her what was up - depression .... anxiety .... isolation .... disordered eating .... SH .... trichotillomania - it was almost like she signed up for the job expecting just to see students with simple mild depression or something because she seemed so shocked that there was a big long list :redface:

also decided to start saving to see a private therapist when i move to manchester :smile:

Drs got back to me. MH team have said no to antidepressants, but adding a small dose of quetiapine in a morning to my normal evening dose. Not sure if this will help, but guess iv got to go with what they say really, or it will take even bloody longer!

Freaking out right now. I'm dealing really badly with life today. Too much going on and I want to shut down.

Pretty much the same here. I'm fed up of everything going wrong for me and being out of my control. Just sick.

woah that sounds cool..how did you get into that?


I used to volunteer at a peer support group and I got really interested in peer support work because of that. When I dropped out of uni I needed to get some money so I looked on the internet for jobs and I came across this job in the NHS as a Peer Support Worker. Thought I would go for it as the main criteria for the job is having your own personal experience of mental health problems and secondary mental health services. Applied for it and got the job! It's a really good job, I would recommend it to anyone who's had previous experience of mental health problems.

Ah that's brilliant! My GP surgery has an online booking system but you have to go in especially to get some code and password, and then change the password or something complicated like that :grumble:

Sometimes I just make my mum phone up and make appointments for me, to save myself the hassle and nervous energy :colondollar:

Yeah I had to do that today but I figured it was worth it so I don't have to talk to them anymore haha :biggrin:

Making your mum phone up is a genius idea!

For sure :biggrin: I still haven't worked up the guts to ask for a code thing and password :getmecoat: Well done you for doing that though - can't have been easy! :rave:

I get a bit embarrassed about it sometimes coz I'm really too old to be having my mum phone up for me. I just remind myself that I'm mentally disabled and that I need to be kinder to myself about these kinda things though :o:
Pretty sure my step dad thinks iv got loads of money!
So annoyed!

It's enough to put people off. Yay for recognising that people have phone phobia.
