Year 12 was fine, it was year 13 that killed me/kind of AS exams onwards really 
But you should demand a certificate! They sent me one of mine wrong, it was my only A as well 
Hard to remember that though in my experience
Saying this as I stood up earlier and almost passed out because I'm stupid like that. In bed is possibly more of an issue though, seeing as you're (hopefully!) asleep most of the time.
-------
Sat here crying for absolutely no reason whatsoever. It's kind of helpful, but I really don't understand my brain sometimes.

I think I just peaked in year 10 and I just haven't gone back up
I might do 
I wouldn't mind if I didn't work hard in chemistry but I bloody well did! You know more than most that sleeping doesn't always occur in bed, I think I kick my legs about a lot 
Crying can sometimes be helpful, hope you're ok

Is there anyone on here who has ever wanted to say something to their GP maybe a worry or concern, but has been too anxious to mention it face to face so write them a letter for receptionist to pass on instead ?
I wanted to thank my GP for being awesome and making a massive difference to my life but I couldn't express that to her so I gave the receptionist a thank you card with that inside to give her. I'm such a wimp.
Probably not the same thing. Sorry

Still up if you need a rant 
I haven't done that, but I have (in the past) written out letters/speeches to people and just sat in front of them and read it out, not making any eye contact

I'm alright I think thanks. Just thinking a lot about everything but in a relatively constructive, rational way which seems to be unusual for me at the minute! Should do it more often

Year 10 was ok I guess, 12 was the best for me though- I actually started to gain some confidence/come out of my shell a bit then. It all disappeared again very quickly, but still
Meh, chemistry is just horrible Yeah that's a fair point, I guess just try and lie still then!

Haha, no I really appreciate all the replies in here 
Going through a horrible time at the moment
Claimed ESA on the basis of social anxiety and depression, sent medical form off today with evidence such as letters off family and friends, letter off GP, copies of latest GP appointments and prescriptions. Copy of my form for referral for CBT. Just the waiting on decision now that is the worst. They said it can be up to 10 weeks before they will review the form
Dreading next weekend. My parents friends who live on coast have invited me to stay with them for a break, only Friday to Monday, so quite short but the anxiety this is causing me is unreal. I know they are lovely, but its just being with people i've only ever been round with family before thats making me anxious if that makes sense ?
Getting nights at the moment where, I just lie and worry about everything and then I start wondering how I am going to get through the week or at least until next GP appt (2 weeks away)

Ok
Good! Having something to say is always an advantage (even if you don't always/ever really end up saying it, in my case
).Original post by Anonymous #2

that sucks
maybe if they call again ask if someone else can take the call? oh, can you block the person who sent the IM? you sure people are spying on you? huge hugs

Nah, you won't! But tell us if it goes well (which it will!) 
So far no reply, although it doesn't say if she saw it

This makes sense. My uncle is in hospital at the moment and I go to see him with my mum, but she's just started a new job and the new hours means that it crosses both afternoon and evening visiting, so I knew that if I wanted to see him, I'd have to go on my own.. I'd never spoken to him without her being there either (and tbh usually just sat there and listened to what they were saying). So a few weeks ago I decided I'd have to see him on my own because if I didn't I'd only see him once every 10 days and that's rubbish as the poor bloke is stuck on his own in there. So I went, was terrified, and did that mad thing where I grasped at every possible conversation.. I'm surprised he could keep up! But it got easier and now if I'm seeing him on my own I don't think anything of it.
