Saber I know the feeling.

But don't beat yourself up, you have a lot going on right now.

Is there a chance to resit? If so could you get feedback on where it went wrong?

Feel so pathetic and ugly :/

I agree with you (about myself). I admire you for actually posting it - even you're anon it can be difficult posting how you feel about yourself so you shouldn't hate yourself for writing this - you should be proud in some way? Idk if that makes sense. But I hope you feel a lot more confident about yourself in the near future.

Lots of love,

I feel the same. But you're awesome and wonderful and so lovely. I promise that you're not pathetic or ugly.

Hiya Sorry, not been posting as much in here due to stuff.

Got a meeting on Thursday about moving into supported accommodation and have heard some bad things about it in general so I'm feeling a bit nervous. Even if it is really terrible I don't think I have much of a choice about it. I really need to move out and this will be my best option for doing so. I'm not even sure how much it will cost a month so I can't even do any budgeting. It is a shared flat with shared toilet and kitchen and shared living room so I doubt it will cost more than £400 a month but that is still half my income and food is really expensive here so I'm not sure how I'll be able to budget for everything. One thing is for sure if I do move out I'll have to give up smoking because it is far too expensive. I'm dreading how hard that will be. I smoke about 20 a day.

At least the accommodation is near to my family so I won't be moving hundreds of miles away.

You will be able to get housing benefit to either help pay the rent or fully pay it depending on how much the rent is and your income

Thank you for the reply, hope you managed to sleep well

OCD and panics are high today. I was up most of the night tossing and turning, couldn't get comfy, cats woke me up, it was too warm etc and I ended up not waking up until around 2pm today and for some reason that set off a panic attack and then OCD kicked in and made me find faults (as in contamination based faults) in everything I touched, went to eat or drink, looked at etc so it made me through a lot of things in the bin which I know I'll regret once I calm down. My OCD hasn't been like this for a month or so. Its there every day but not as in my face as it has been today and some of yesterday. Just feel very tense, on edge and like I am waiting for something to happen be it a panic, another compulsion or something catastrophic. Been here before and I know I just have to try my best to sail through it and remember compulsions are only compulsions and that I don't have to give into each and every one of them but even if I do, I shouldn't beat myself up and that it'll pass.

Just gonna take it easy today and have a day in front of my laptop and go for a bath soon

Feel so embarrassed. Got my OCD phrase stuck in my head when I was with friends last night, and was very bad at hiding my panic :/ alcohol is not my friend at the moment
