Sleep still a mess woke up after three hours and spent the rest of the night just rolling over trying to get comfortable.
Went to derby, that was good but it took a lot to actually go. I was ready and just wanted to curl back in to bed and sleep. Could have done without a girl trying to cut in front of me and falling over making me fall over right at the start of training fair bit of pain from that one because we were racing.
I have to write an essay but I figured it's okay to give myself a few hours to nap before then since tomorrow is also essay writing. As is Tuesday. Really looking forward to term being over now, even with the exam beforehand.

Well done on going to derby, hope you are ok after your collision! Is it a good idea to nap now, as won't that make your sleep worse?Original post by rmhumphries Well done on going to derby, hope you are ok after your collision! Is it a good idea to nap now, as won't that make your sleep worse?
Well done on going to derby, hope you are ok after your collision! Is it a good idea to nap now, as won't that make your sleep worse?Quite possibly
On the other hand I don't actually have anything on tomorrow so it's okay if I don't morning 
Plus I'm too tired to do work right now so sleep will be useful.
Trying to do work, but I feel like I can't focus. I mean I am getting the notes done, but I still feel like I'm not taking it in properly? Keep getting so distracted by bad thoughts, etc. 
Hope everyone's ok!

I've felt so down today Really lonely but have nothing to say to anyone and haven't done anything except sleep and stare at the ceiling. I'm alone
Really lonely but have nothing to say to anyone and haven't done anything except sleep and stare at the ceiling. I'm alone
Does anyone here, or has anyone here ever kept a day in the life diary for depression/anxiety ?
Just wondering if anyone has an example of the kind of thing you could write, if diarying and writing about stuff isn't a strong point
Asking as been told it can be a useful form of evidence to send in to support an ESA claim
For example soe days due to fatigue and general motivation levels, i would struggle to write anything decent, so would you write about that
If anyone has any examples, or ideas of how to keep it simple and an easy thing to keep on top of, i would be so greatful
Thank you

I keep a diary
Don't really have any advice but I just write about how I've been feeling, why I think I feel that way, any significant thoughts I've had etc.------------------
Finished my essay
Honestly have no idea if it's any good or not so I've just submitted it anyway.Was pushing my grandad in his wheelchair earlier and now I'm in agony with my knee, I think I put my weight on it wrong. I think it's going to come out so I'm scared to move too much, definitely going to have to get this sorted

For ESA, it can be good to get a cpn or someone to help you with the forms cos they generally know the score on them.
AFAICR, they ask fairly specific questions anyway so I don't know if you can just do like a letter or something - perhaps you can attach one though.
I think the 'day in the life' thing might be the suggestion that if you have some sort of varying condition, you should focus on what you are like on particularly /bad/ day on the form.
For me, at the height of depression, there wouldn't be much to write. When it gets bad, I stay in bed for days at a time, maybe getting up to go to the toilet or get food or water. At its very worst, I haven't always even bothered with that.

I haven't, although have tried similar for other things (unsuccessfully!). Could you write a list of three or four common problems, like mood/anxiety levels/motivation etc, and give each a rating out of ten or something? Just an idea

A pass is still a pass though! And you've done really well on some others, too
(unless I'm thinking of the wrong person )Good luck! Hope it goes ok

I've got everything from 46 - 68
I get my next lab grade back on my birthday I've definitely failed that one because I submitted it when I hadn't even finished/missed half of the stuff out so that'll be a nice birthday treat for me 
Thanks
