I have a mentor and had one during my Masters too (undergrad place never even told me about DSA, effing jokers that they were 
). They're someone to check in with regularly and who can liaise between you and the disability department, or you and your academic department. Or even you and your hospital, depending on how proactive they feel. The mentor I had during my Masters, R, felt so indignant about the way my then-psychiatrist was ignoring my calls, that she actually rang up his secretary herself and had a huge go at her

Sorry the previous two were so useless. Glad your current one is good though, I hope mine is too...Just nervous about meeting them and being rejected or something. 
Oh, that's awesome! I hope my one is as good as yours! Sorry your undergraduate uni didn't tell you anything though. That's pretty awful...My uni have been pretty good about getting me the support I need. Not sure where I'd be without them with regards to my degree. 
I'm sorry. Did they say why?

Not sure, I just get worried that people will hate me for some reason, then reject me.
I think it's just me having a weird thought process. But yeah they've agreed to 30 hours per year. Gonna have to go to Student Support on Tuesday to arrange times with them (that's what the letter said to do). I feel really weird right now. Sorry if my messages are weird at all. How are you?

There's a limit to blindly following stupid rules when that clearly isn't the thing to do. Probably doesn't help that it's a bank holiday weekend coming up either.
you'd hope! no, luckily is sorted out now but I literally got so stressed I made myself ill so idk, just hope it all stays sorted!
I think I've gotten myself into a massive mess and i don't know how to get out of it 
Surprise surprise, my friend cancelled on me. Well, actually he didn't, I haven't heard from him since yesterday afternoon and I just saw him in town driving back from the shops with a group of other people.

So I met my new psychiatrist. Mixed feelings.
He said he was concerned about me (and I'm doing ok). God knows how he'll react when he says me on my ill days. Really don't want to go back to hospital.

Hopefully once you're used to each other you can form a good working partnership.

turns out the best way to get the DWP to do things is to yell at them till you throw up 
Eeeeeep... Hope you're ok now!

pretty much everything. first exam is a week today. I have done NO revision and don't even seem to care. my parents are coming back from an 8 week holiday on sunday morning and im dreading it. my house is an absolute pigsty - a health hazard. i'd tried to start cleaning but after less than five minutes I end up in tears and I just cant do life or anything and I just want to get off the world because it is too much. I am actually laughing at myself for being so naïve to look forward to this time, thinking I would get a little relief. instead it has been a ****ing nightmare.
Remember the world won't end with any of those things, no matter how it feels like. You're awesome and strong and brave, and you'll get through these hard times and through to better ones.Original post by Midnightmemories
