Mental Health Support Society XVIII

I tried a "hearing-voices support group" a few years ago. It actually made me feel really depressed because I was the youngest by a good 25 years and all these older people were still struggling with their voices every day - it made me feel hopeless about the future. I don't know if a depression support group would be the same but I think you should give it a go, you never know

If you're looking for social activities have you tried seeing if your local Mind charity has any classes/events? I did badminton and an art group with them and found it great for getting out of the house and interacting with people.

Have ****ed this completely up.
No support from now on because I'm leaving college for good. (Have now officially left) I'm so ****ed and I don't know what to do because I can't tell my parents about this as they think I'm just stupid.
Can't see my GP as can't get a appointment for like 2 weeks and it'll mess work up. Not sure how to tell her (the counsellor) I'm not coming back to college either.

I've completely shot myself in the foot. I'm back at square one and work have no clue about any of this at all. Not only do I loose support, means I have to now maybe pay for my meds from September which means that I'm going to be paying a lot of money each month because of the stupid system.

Have you considered an apprenticeship? (Sorry if I already asked you this before). That way you can learn and get paid at the same time.

Have you looked into getting an NHS 12 month prepayment certificate? It's a bit over 100 pounds but that's for all prescriptions for a year.

Is there a local Mind in your area or similar? They sometimes offer counselling or similar.

That's why I've left college, I've got a apprenticeship instead. Sadly it doesn't count as education in most people's eyes as its work based. Meaning that my parents are going to be even more worse off because of my choice and I'm going to feel so guilty.

NHS HC1 wouldn't cover me as I still live at home with my parents.

I think the pre payment thing would work but it's expensive and I don't know if it's worth it as I get two things a month that you have to pay for (the other one I think I don't)



Don't think so, nope.

Going to see the GP about my meds today...I kind of wanna be taken off them now.

That was me

Im sure i got a HC2 when still living at home

i hope i can get one when i move, cos i worry ill run out of money when i need to get meds and never be able to get my meds but got a month to sort it out, as im gonna get more meds next week for freeeee

Really stupid personal question to you two then, do they take your parents finances or not? Because if they take my parents then they probably won't give it to me as with my earnings ill be earning too much.

No worries!!
What are you studying? xxxxx

Thats me ^^^^

I study medicine I am literally so relieved to get through the first year!

That was me

Has anyone got any experience at funding masters? I've still got a year at uni left but I'm looking at doing a masters in Psychology when I finish. However it looks expensive, and not sure how people afford them?!
