Had an awful ED night in a hotel I'm staying in. So upset over my training and need to get the courage up to go ad ask for help today. It's supposed to be offered to me - my access agreement said I should be approached because I can't ask for help but I've had nothing and now I need to step up and be brave.

I feel so scared and I'm not sure if I'm paranoid or everyone does generally hate my existence.

Might ask the disability department to get involved regarding my tutor wanting to extend my placement. Surely there's better ways for her to go about it rather than constantly knocking my confidence? I've already lost two weeks of progress because I've been so doubtful of my abilities that I just went through the motions.

In other news, I was at a family christening party yesterday and I couldn't cope. Too many strangers and people, and even my daddy could tell I was on edge; he told numerous of my younger cousins to stop annoying me or I would end up decking them one even though he usually lets me dish out the threats - I guess that was nice of him.

However, my cousin's husband said to me "Fran, you look so healthy and happy and alive!" and I immediately thought "Are you for real? I look like ****." Is it in my head? I dunno. :confused:

hi,

I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I'm currently in hospital but hopefully I will be discharged soon. Thought I'd join to meet others who are going through similar experiences as me, to get support and give support. I look forward to getting to know people on this thread.


Hi and welcome to the MHSS! We're all a pretty friendly bunch, supporting and helping each other - I can't describe how much I love these guys ever since I arrived here mid-February, they're just great support. :smile:

I stopped it because my doctor never gave me enough to last until the time I could get another appointment. don't really want to go back on it because it does nothing for my mood and is so sedating I slept for 10 hours + and still felt rotten :sigh: just cant really handle the whole no sleep thing either. how are you doing? :hugs:

PRSOM. Have fun crafting :smile:
Went to go and see my counsellor this morning and she sent out a email to all my teachers and they're going to let me go and work in the library if things get too much for me and i can't go back to class...

I also told her about the sleep thing and she's told me something that i can use to hopefully send me off to sleep... Went into school on about three and a half hours sleep...

Sounds horrendous. :jumphug: My med was causing me insomnia so they put me on zopiclone so I can get through my exams and school and all. Hopefully something will work for you!

I've not been on roller skates in years! They used to hurt my ankles so much. You didn't hurt yourself, did you?

I have exams and i can't do them on little sleep. :cry:

My counsellor has told me to try this breathing technique thing to try if i suffer with it tonight...

I suppose I'm lucky that i've admitted to the college that I'm attending next year that in periods of high anxiety and stress i usually end up having sleep issues... Because then they won't be all surprised by it...

What things have you tried to help you with sleeping? Have you tried to sleep with some sleep music on? It may not work straight away (or at all for you) but I found that it was quite helpful for me. It may take you a while with the music on to sleep, but you should drift off at some point :smile:

Do ask for something if the breathing techniques don't work. I got zopiclone because my A2 exams start on Wednesday! :eek:

Aye, at least they now know so they won't take it out on you next year.
