Oh no
physically or mentally? You're not letting anyone down. Not your fault you aren't feeling good. When do you come out of the assessment phase? Are there any other benefits you may be able to get? Like PIP?Original post by Team_McDreamy
because there is a way out of this, and i do truly believe that hun - things are bloody awful at the moment and nobody is going to deny that for one second, but i do honestly hand on heart believe that you are strong enough to find a way out of this and have an amazing, fulfilling life ahead of you

things are always bloody awful, I understand people are saying it will get better to give some hope but I'd rather be realistic about it. I have no evidence that things are going to get better. I'm unresponsive to treatment, I haven't met any MH professional who has a clue what to do, meanwhile they're actually making me worse. the last thing I want is to look back in 50 years time and know that it wasn't worth it. I just don't think I can do this. I don't see any way out of this. I don't think even getting to a stage where I can 'manage' this is going to enough to make it worth it for me any more.

Like PIP?Mentally. I couldnt make it to guides the other night as my paranoia was awful, and then over slept today when i should have been doing a guiding event. And i just seem to be coming up with excuses rather than the truth.
We should have come out of the assessment phase 13 weeks after xmas...
Doubt ill get PIP gonna try get rory to get higher rates though.

For me to see the GP at the uni do I have to sign up so they can see all my records etc? Or is there a system where I can just book an appointment to see the GP? Haven't signed up with the docs here at uni yet and I don't know all the details either so it may take me a few days to get it all together and I feel like I want to see them in the next few days at least.
you'll need to sign up - they might have forms they want you to fill in about your medical history first
have any of you guys ever found out your Meyers-Briggs personality type? i know its a wholly discredited way of measuring somebody's personality but i still find it interesting 
i'm an INTJ!!
it's not about having hope though, in my opinion - imo i am being realistic in saying i do believe you will find a way to improve your quality of life. unfortunately I'm not at a point in my career where i could give a suggestion as to what it would be, but i do think you will come out the other side of this and look back in 50 years and realise that you were a heck of a lot stronger than you thought you were

Two strange occurrences today. Made a day to see an old friend I fell out with six months ago, and added someone I haven't spoke to in three years on Facebook who we kinda fell out cause of awkwardness. Am I being crazy/stupid here?

I guess, although I feel like a bad person for contacting then in case it makes them awkward?

I have an appointment with the mental health team at uni tomorrow and it's midway through a two hour workshop. Do I email the tutor ahead of time, mention it when I get there or just skip the workshop completely?
So nervous about it. Haven't spoken about my mental health to anyone but my mentor and we became super good friends. I don't know if anyone can replace her and the way she supported me or knew what I needed before I needed it.

Personally I'd either send an email or go see the tutor before the workshop.

Someone help me and choose a pair for me!
I like the top three, maybe the tortoiseshell/gold frame overall. I'm probably biased though because I've decided my next pair of glasses will be tortoiseshell and I love the style of the first two (half plastic, half metal) but I haven't found a similar pair that suit me
. As long as they all suit you and are comfortable, you can't go wrong as they all look good! Fashion or prescription
