I feel like giving up

Everything is stressing me out i cant deal with it all. I need to pass these exams but these last 3 are so so hard. Now i have loads of hours at work too. Student finance is still making me stressed as its not sorted properly yet. Everything is getting complicated. I have so many things to do. I dont even think any of this is worth it. Life is pointless and it just makes me sad, so why am i even bothering. :bawling:

I just randomly broke down and cried in the middle of revising. Everything is getting too much for me. I cant handle it:cry2:

Choose one thing to focus on for the moment. Focus on whatever exam is closest and forget about the others until you've done that one. You should be able to sort out your student finance after exams so don't worry about that for now. And make sure you're taking time to relax. You were doing really well before but don't push yourself too hard.

Hope you feel better soon. It's not long till exams are over and then you can relax about it. :console:

Hi im new totgis thread. Im really feeling confused and dejdcted. I saw my psychiatrist yesterday and I feel he dosent get me. I asked him about diagnosis and he said he dosrnt believe in diagnosis and gave me a book to read about '9 types of people'. I dont know how to get accross to him that having a firm diagnosis would help me. Also when i was reffered to the service i was told i woild be recieving cogbitive analytic therapy but the guy left and im just getting psycotherapy.
I dont know what to do

See if you can get a second referral or second opinion?
I'm really sorry to hear about your experience. I had a similar experience in the past where I literally just sat down in my psychiatrist's room and she suddenly decided I was bipolar, then said I'd get medication next session, I went back and she denied everything and said she'd never said any of that, even though my mum was in the room with me for both sessions.
Now I have an amazing psychiatrist. I really hope this current psychiatrist doesn't put you off seeing another one. :hugs:
Felt really sick this morning so went home early. I'm really confused and scared and tired and achy and shaky and unstable and I just don't know why!! I haven't taken my dose yet today cos I felt to ill and i'm worried it'll make me feel worse. I really don't want to be like this next week cos I won't be able to cope with my exams! I'm really confused I feel fine like my mind is clear and everything but it's like i'm out of sync with my body or something cos I'm just not feeling at all well. I'm really scared. I want to cry but I just can't. I don't know what this is!! :erm:

:hugs: do you normally take your tablets early in the morning?
I had a similar sort of thing when I was on venlafaxine - if I was 2 hours out on taking my tablets I'd feel dizzy, sick, confused, like everything was spinning, almost flu-ish.
So it could be that, so taking the tablets ASAP would help. However if it's not that I don't know what to suggest, sorry. But I hope you feel better soon.
I hope you're ok :hugs:

I normally take them every morning yeah. I'm not feeling physically sick anymore so I'm going to try to bring myself to take it cos I don't want to get withdrawal tomorrow like last time. I had a late start today so it may have been that my body was expecting it or something. I didn't have much to eat yesterday either so that probably has something to do with it. I usually feel nauseous just before taking it in the morning but this time was so much worse it really worried me. I think the rest is probably just side effects getting a bit worse again and me getting anxious about it so i'm trying to chill out :redface:

Thank you :smile:

It's ok I just wanted to put your mind at rest a bit. Venlafaxine was awful for me in respect of taking it at a difference time..... felt like the world was going upside down inside out... blergh dizzzyyy.
Well that was a colossal waste of time. Saw study coach, cried, left early to go give blood, got told I couldn't cos I'm seeing a psychiatrist too often. ****ing depression eh? :rolleyes:

When I wasn't happy with my first meeting I just went through the process again but asked for somebody different that time. There's probably a better way to do it though. Maybe phone them up and say you'd like a second opinion?

If you're not happy with what you received it's totally fine to ask for a second. I'd do the same in your situation. You may not be given a firm diagnosis wherever you go because they won't want to worry or label you or may just not be able to give you something as simple as a one word diagnosis. But how they said it does sound rather odd and you can definitely ask for the therapy.

Good luck :hugs:

How long have you been on it, if you don't mind me asking? I've been on 15mg for about 3 months and I've put on about 26 lbs which is absolutely ridiculous.


I was on 15mg for about 2/3 weeks and then got told to up myself to 30mg by my GP and I've been on 30mg for about 5-6 weeks now. I could actually do with the weight gain given I'm rather underweight but I've had none - or at least no noticeable gain.

Hot beach, blue skies, girls, refreshingly cool sea...that'd be a life worth living :h: Perhaps :innocent: But it was cheesy, cringey and up-beat which is what Eurovision is all about...and the girl was uber pretty in my opinion :tongue:

IDukem's recommendation for FireFlies: Watch How To Lose A Girl In Ten Days :biggrin: It's not really metal to be honest, Nothing But A Good Time is a party happy type song that isn't heavy at all nor does it scream or anything. Listen to that and if you don't like it then fair enough :smile: They made a highly recognisable and popular acoustic song called Every Rose Has It's Thorn which is a great song also and would probably be a better option to listen to actually.:smile:

It won't necessarily ease up, but i won't be rushing around all the time and so i'd end up actually having more time to them :biggrin:

Sorry for the short reply once again :redface:

Thanks, :hugs:
