Mental Health Support Society Mk XIV

When you feed the ducks does all the goose poop not bother you?

I guess could you go to your GP at some point under the guise of doing something else? Your GP wouldn't tell your parents unless they absolutely had to, and think it's possibly best port of call maybe? )
Otherwise do you have a school counsellor or Uni counselling service that you could go to? (if you're at school or Uni ) They shouldn't tell your parents either unless it were absolutely necessary.

Sorry I don't have much more advice Will have a think too

Welcome to the thread though

That's true Yeah tbf going up there in new smaller car was quite scary, but once you're there for a bit get used to it quite quickly? Motorway was scary once you properly thought about it - being in a massive box of metal hurtling along next to other boxes of metal But you can ignore that

That's ages Glad it's looking better what?! That's ridiculous - 5 minutes early is like the perfect time to arrive for something
I found it didn't take too long - like a long evening/half day I guess? Hope it's gone okay - are you moving in this weekend? Haha

Not yet - yeah last year they did, but in a house now - we'll get one soon/once everyone gets here - though someone's dropped out!!! They failed their resits which is a shame (hadn't even realised they had resits to do) so they're not back for next year which is sad He was a new person/someone we'd not properly met, apart from 2 times when he was deciding or something. But we're had the worst luck with it There were 5 of us, then before we found a house someone said they were switching Uni's/reapplying, then when we signed a 4-bed house, the 4th person decided that they were changing Uni's, and now this person! Must be something about us

Sandwich toasters are good - I think the person who's not here yet (but who is staying ) has a george foreman grill thing - so will use that for toasties
*takes toaster* thanks

Theyre talking about hospital again.

Todays been worse sadly, but will see how things pan out once lectures start

What part of going out with friends are you nervous about? (sorry if this is too late for any help regarding that )
I can definitely relate to getting anxious about seeing friends/going to a house - always semi-hate parties just because you can't easily escape/get away when you need it, and always people about talking/being loud
If it's happened then I hope it went okay

So sorry things have got that bad again. Have you discussed what the alternatives are? Maybe you can work out some extra support that might avoid hospitalisation?



Hello beautiful! Thanks for having me, I had an awesome time. Missing you already!

miss you too!

My my it's busy in here today :v



You may of already been told this, but CBT requires a lot of input and effort from your side, effectively they will give you the tools to help yourself, but you still need to use those tools, or you won't see any progress.

I've been through CBT with various therapists before, each with their own take on it. Something i'd recommend doing is putting into practice what you have learnt while you are feeling in a good mood, if you practice things when you feel good, it will be much easier to do when you're feeling really down. I say this because i know it can be very difficult to apply CBT stuff when you're feeling really low.

It isn't for everyone, but i do believe everyone can take something away from CBT, be it coping strategies or exercises that help you to cope. It also gives you a lot of knowledge into the whys and hows of depression, and when we understand something better it's never quite as scary. Best of luck to you with it!



I have days where i feel really disconnected, even moreso than normal :| Easier said than done but try not to think too much about it I would write down pretty much everything, people in that line of work are generally nice people and won't care for how little or much much you want to disclose to them. Besides, even if some things aren't in their field of expertise, they may be able to sort something out for you, or give some sort of advice.



It's a shame that it has to be done, but pestering people and chasing them up gets things done from my experience. Have you emailed them again or given them a phonecall?



Keeping yourself busy is always healthy imo If nothing else you should sleep easily when night time comes around



I'm certain other people will not be bothered as much as you are about it, we are all attractive in some ways; a nice bum, legs, eyes, personality, body shape, voice, eyes. There's a long list or things trust me Most of us have things we dislike about our appearance, i have quite a few myself focus on improving what's good about you, instead of the things you don't like

Picked a couple of little boats out with my daddy. Uncle and grandad are both involved now too and I suspect my nana is probably already knocking me some curtains and bedding together and deciding on refurbing any upholstery she can get her hands on. I'm really lucky to have such an awesome boating family around me. At least it'll keep maintenance down and I have all of that advice and guidance behind me. My home marina will be super cheap since my uncle runs it and my uni marina has all of the mod cons. It's going to be brilliant as long as I don't freak out over it.

Well I think you just have to find out - they may be a lot more supportive than you think - and can give them some info about it when/if you tell them? (I haven't told my family at all, though I probably should )

Hmm, I suppose see how it goes over the next week/maybe try and find someone to go down with? Important that you eat enough and things, can you get access to a microwave or something to make meals that way? or if you have a friend in self-catered halls could you cook with them?

Seeing signs again

Here if you want to talk things through.

Thanks. Am in uni atm and am scared. People are talking about bad things and that never normally happens and I'm worried. People jumping out at me and it's so loud and busy and I can't do it feel like I can't breathe and I shouldn't be here and it's horrible

I usually go hide in the toilets for a bit when I'm feeling like that. You absolutely should be at uni, but equally you've got to look after yourself too. Get a few minutes to yourself, see if you calm down and then decide what you'd rather do.
