Is it hay fever, or a cold? Either way I hope you feel better soon. :smile: I'm sure uni will go fine for you.

You'll be alright - remember no-one's going to do you any harm, they're just minding their own business. :smile: You'll be fine, and the more you go out and about, the more confident you'll feel.

If you're not sure about stuff like note taking, ask your uni for help. :smile: They should have some kind of study skills programme or resources, and it's never too late to ask for help about it!

Wolfie knows lots of things! I'm getting excited for starting but i find reading difficult so why I chose a course that requires so much I don't know
slept okayish last night. kept waking up anxious but maybe 7 hours broken sleep which is more than ive had in a long time. still feeling utterly exhausted though. think I need to improve diet. which is hard when I have 0 motivation to go into town to buy proper food, cook it and then deal with washing up. all too much. everything is too much. seeing wellbeing lady today, first time in 7/8 weeks. anxious.

Hope it goes well. :hugs: Here if you need anything. :yep:
Had a bad night on Sunday. Had an offer put in on our house and it totally rocked me because I don't want to move, I don't deal with change well, hopefully Cognitive Behavioural Therapy should help with that

GP asked if I felt like I would harm myself, which I answered no to. I wouldn't due to fear.

But I havent told him about SH, I want tp but I just don't know if he would find it stupid or if its something that could get me sectioned

Self harm is very unlikely to get you sectioned, unless it is very severe. You only get sectioned if you are an imminent danger to yourself or others and you need to be in hospital to manage your risk and you refuse to go to hospital. And even then, some people don't get sectioned, so I would say tell him, because then maybe they can help you with it.

Also, if you wouldn't mind, I would put this post in a spoiler as it may trigger people.

Does anyone know what a lead professional is? Because the lady I saw yesterday said that she's my lead professional...Is it basically the same as a care co? What's the difference?



I can only base my knowledge on where I live and where I used to work. But a lead professional is someone who is in charge of your care, kind of like a care coordinator but there are differences.The main difference is that if you are under a lead professional, you have a more basic care plan than someone who has a care coordinator and is in the Care Programme Approach. Usually the care plan is a letter, whilst someone with a care co has a detailed document.

Also usually someone with a lead professional only really sees the lead professional, and won't see anyone else in the CMHT, whilst someone with a care co will see different people in the team. Of course that would change if you need to see someone else, e.g. a therapist.

Hope that made some sense!

I don't think you're able to do that if you're an anon poster. I think a mod will have to edit it for them, but yeah, I completely agree.

Are you ok?

I'm okay, just had my first exam. I think it went okay, I'm 99% sure I passed there were some obscure questions I had no idea for, so I'm not sure whether I'll have got the B I was aiming for.

how are you today?
