The police are on their way to take my brother to the hospital again. I don't know why exactly, but he's being physically separated from me so I can only presume the worst. I thought this was all over. I can't go back to living like that 
We're all here for you
I Hope everything is ok
You'll be in my thoughts too

From the high of my CPN being back to the lows of my mental health possibly already destroying my chances of getting a first class and I'm not even finished my first honours year
Thankfully, my lecturer for this module is supportive, and is happy to get me a resit essay (if she can), provided I get medical evidence.

It's not positive unless I get the resit and that is in no way guaranteed since I did not technically fail the essay, I just did absolutely woeful for my standard.
As for defeating...I never will. I just have to learn how to live with all of it, manage it.
I think I'm a bit overmedicated. 
Wrote this last night before deciding it was too incoherent to post, but reading it over now, ****ing hell :/ I remember my wife told me to go to bed as I was slurring my words, then she had to help me up the stairs, and I fell asleep pretty much immediately.
I'm mostly ok during the day, but when I take my night meds I'm completely out of it. Not seeing my psychiatrist for another 3 weeks.

Saber, if I was you, I would see if you can get in to see your psychiatrist sooner. That's really not good, and I'm worried for you

I know I know. What I meant what try to stay positive now, you dont know the outcome so just try to look at it positively (sorry, I should've been clearer).
You dont know that, there may be a cure in the future. You just have to live with it as you said. It won't be easy but you can do it!
We're here if you need anyone to vent to

Hopefully. They doubled it and put me on another, so in a few weeks hopefully I'll start to see the difference. I'm seeing the doctor again on Thursday as well

Yeah, I was thinking that. I don't know why he thought that 3 antipsychotics would be a good idea.

Indeed!
Ah excellent! Yeah it will take a little time to kick in but hopefully you'll start to see improvements soon
Aw, hope it goes well for you

That's pretty insane, ngl.
Had a **** in MH terms.
Just won't go away, its always pestering me!
My medication isn't working anymore and I'm slipping back into a bad place. I really dont want to go back there but I'm headed that way
Not even therapists seem to help nowadays, idk what to do anymore.
I just cant shake it, no matter what I do :/

Tell me about it.
I think if he opened up my skull and hit my brain with a crowbar a few hundred times it would have the same effect.
Hopefully they'll let you redo the essay.

Definitely get back to the doctor if you haven't already. It might just be a case of the dosage not being quite right, or needing a different one

Really bloody panicking right nowHave you considered talking to your uni's student welfare officer? They can argue on your behalf and along with a medical note that might help. How close are you to the lecturer in question, if she's happy for you to redo it she can also help support you - like she knows your performance in other essays and how this one is such an anomaly.

Well I saw them around a month ago to check if they were working. They were then but now they dont seem to do anything.
I go back in January for another review so ill request a dosage increase then.
Just saw your post too, hope you feel ok now
That id a lot of meds to be on and I Hope your psychiatrist can help with that
But I Hope you're feeling better now

I plan to. Just worrying because the School might deny me it

I hope she manages to do so. Although if you don't get a first class it's not the end of the world. I graduated with a 2.2 because of mental health problems and am now studying my MSc and appliyng for PhDs! Stress and putting pressure on yourself too much isn't healthy.

Saber, that's not good. Could you ask to see the psych sooner?

I do have an appointment after Christmas. I'll see if I can stick it out until then, but if not ill go sooner.
Maybe, tbh these meds aren't as effective as my last ones. But I can stay awake on these which is why I'm on them.
But yeah thankyou
