I know hun, but its at times like this when we can't love or like ourselves, that we have to rely on others to love and like us - and you have so many people. You have so much to give, don't forget that. Please stay safe and remember this is one very bad moment, but it is just a moment. This feeling wont last forever 
I know, she's an idiot. She texted me again earlier and I thought it might be an apology, but nope - apparently she was going to have a 'lazy' day like I do, but instead went out and spent loads of money
great for her, but im stuck in my room
Oh no hun
Really sorry to hear that - I really do feel for you. Asthma is really horrible and I can't imagine how awful it must be to have it so badly :/ Glad you managed a bit of sleep at least. Hope you manage to go out tomorrow

People can be horrible sometimes Not sure which bits of this are asthma and which bits are the virusy thing- apparently (according to the guy last night) the sides of my chest are all inflamed so I don't know, hurts like hell though
Will try, it's the last time I'll see one of them before she goes off to uni so want to if I can

This isnt very helpful if im honest.
So after waiting OVER an hour for the paramedics, they told him they couldnt do anything and A&E would be pointless, but to go to his Dr and hope he does something.

do you have examples of life getting better
I'm still very ill but life has improved vastly since my undergrad degree. Done some internships (including one paid one
), had quite a few job interviews, got a Merit in my Masters and about to start a PhD! Plus I've only lost a few friends due to my being ill.It CAN get better

what do you normally do?
ever since i got back to uni, I've obviously had to talk to loads of people about my state right now (tutors, friends, doctors etc) - and that I've changed over medications. which leads to the question of what i think of it - and then proceed to try and "show me" that i'm actually wrong in thinking that its not helping because i'm chatty and i smile and i go outside. ermmmm no - you asked me how it was going, and i told you, so why can't you just accept that?
i mean, yeah i do that, and i didn't do that on citalopram, but what I've noticed with the sertraline is that its increased my functionality but decreased my mood, if that makes any sense. like, with citalopram, i initially felt good! i didn't do very much but that was ok because i finally felt good - whereas now i get a lot done, i get out of bed, study, tidy up, wash, do laundry etc etc etc, but i have this constant emptiness, my anxiety can get really super high and my body image is through the floorboards.
anybody else get this? you feel like you have nothing to say is "wrong" with you because you're functional, but you're still not good?

Some people couldn't hack the fact that I was ill and needed a bit more support than they were willing to give

Just a friendly warning- we dont put up with people who dont have good intentions in here.
Sure this doesnt apply to you, but just letting you know. Original post by help!!!!!!!!!!

I agreed to take medication and to take it every day. I tried to see my remaining friends more often and be more honest about how I'm doing with them. I got onto a therapy wait list and gave CBT a really good go and still use some of the techniques today (CBT was over three years ago now!). I tried talking to my family and giving them NHS websites and Mind factsheets to read. I tried having goals to work towards, e.g. finishing an internship successfully, or my Masters course
It's a bit easier for me than it is for some others because I'm a naturally optimistic person. It's just the depression that makes me a pessimist. So generally, I always believe things will get better and I always have hope. That has proved invaluable

I won't, a bit calmer after talking to my mum & girlfriend but still pretty flat, idk, I'm alive & such though & relatively safe or at least as safe as I can be for now, don't feel great but at least able to partially function without wanting to do stupid things now

thank you for being so supportive! it means a lot, bit calmer now & safe like I said, just hope that things improve, seeing GP on Wednesday then this assistant psychologist on Thursday so hopefully that helps, at least willing to try them now I think
