Really really hurt my knee, and a person has been found dead at my uni. Don't know the circumstances, and I didn't know them, but it's really hit me for some reason...feeling a bit spacey and sad today.
URGH Just can't focus and I have exams. So scared of not getting a 2.1. f it.

I dont drive, but im used to my step dad whos a novice rally driver but i trust his driving more than anyone going slower. Iv never once felt in danger with him driving i wont tell you the speeds he goes as its not legal.

It's not just about his speed. You know the idiots you get on the road. All you need is for one wrong move from another car and if he's travelling so fast he won't be able to react to it. I feel bad saying this to you as obviously you're not even the driver, but honestly, breaking the speed limit is just so unnecessary and wastes countless lives.

Everyone's immune from accidents. Until they're not.

Original post by Anonymous
um, hi?

kinda of in a really really bad place right now, feeling really low, been kinda down for a while but not this bad as such, and tonight I just think it's hit home that I really don't know how I feel or what I want to do in life, I have options I guess but none of them seem that great really.

is it always better to not be alone? part of me wonders if I need to just get away from everything in my life for a while, really let go of all the stuff that holds me back and just try and find myself somehow, idk, doubt this even makes sense.

just needed to write...something I guess.


Welcome to the society. :smile:

I think on the whole it's best to have people around you to support you - without that support network a lot of people would go to pieces, even if they were mentally healthy to start with! Taking some time to find yourself might well be the way forward, but that doesn't have to involve isolating yourself. :nah: If you're worrying about your path in life or feeling a bit lost then your friends and family can often be the best people to turn to. Sometimes they know you better than you know yourself. :tongue:

:hugs: I hope the feeling goes away soon, and that there weren't too many people affected by the death.

:jumphug: Getting a 2:1 is great, but so's keeping your sanity. :tongue: Look after yourself, and talk to someone if it all gets too much for you!

I sincerely doubt this. It will be more of the case that they are limited in time and under pressure so don't always make the best decisions or advocate for you with other services.

It is very difficult for first line services to treat mental health because the resources are so limited and bed spaces and specialists are so oversubscribed.

I really think you are more a victim of underfunding and cutbacks than anything else.

I know that isn't a comfort but at the same time, people get there in the end, just the current state of things make it so so difficult in many cases.

not what I was saying at all. im very aware that she has no control of how other services treat me and is very limited in what she can do. however, she has left with without meds so many times due to her carelessness, even when ive been in contact asking her to leave a prescription out for me. she continually says she will do things and then never follows through, she is disinterested and her attitude towards me has changed markedly. I am afraid this has nothing to do with 'underfunding' or 'lack of resources... if she doesn't think she will realistically have time to do certain things then that's fine, but she shouldn't say that she will do them in that case.
head is completely pounding. went to therapy and cried a lot. sort of relief but still hurting. so thankful that shes patient with me. find it hard to express myself in any other way than saying I'm suffocating or hurting. also applied for a week extension on my work, hoping I get it cause I wont be handing in on time. everything feels very very **** indeed. might go into town... wish it was a bit closer. bleh.

Glad it went well, even if it is kind of for the wrong reason :redface: Hope you're ok :hugs:

:hugs: I bet you're doing better than you know. But remember that part of recovery is realising and accepting when you need help, and being able to face up to how you're feeling. :smile:

:penguinhug: Is there anyone you feel able to talk to about how you're feeling? You shouldn't have to be going through this alone.

No-one in their right mind would think you're a bother. :lovehug: And your mum's wrong, on two fronts: one, you've got your whole life ahead of you, and plenty of time to make mistakes, learn from them and generally piss about. :tongue: I only decided what I want to do with my life last year, and I'm 27. :smile: As for the second point, she's the one wasting her life by failing to build a strong relationship with her fantastic daughter. :eviltongue:

People keep going on and on at me about the whole "driving an automatic car" thing. I'm fed up of it. Why can't they think "she's doing really well, trying to get her license after six years" rather than "well yeah she might be getting a license but it's the lazy one".

I don't understand why there's such a snobbery about it. It SUCKS. I just want to drive and feel comfortable doing so, and I know what I have to do in order to make that possible. So why not just let me bloody do it!

There are certain times of the month where I really cannot be bothered with people pecking my head about things that don't concern them.. and this is one of them.

Personally, I would tell those people to go **** themselves. I don't understand the snobbery either, it's pretty pathetic. You need to focus on yourself, you're the one driving and gaining all the freedom that gives you so **** them. :smile:
*sigh*

One thing after another keeps going wrong :cry2: I got a phonecall last night saying that they did the more accurate test on my throat culture and I do have strep again. So that's another two weeks of agonizing pain, struggling to swallow huge antibiotic pills, constant headaches and on and off fever. The hockey team captain emailed me asking why I haven't been at practice so I feel **** for letting the team down and now won't be able to play for god knows how much longer given the strep is back. I also went to the dentist today and my tooth is fractured - I need a crown and if that doesn't work a root canal. ****ing great. My desktop is still broken and despite googling I can't work out how to fix it. My mood is pretty ****ty but I'm on the highest dose of antidepressant so that can't be increased. The icing on the cake is these crazy obsessive violent thoughts I keep having and just cannot get out of my head which I'm not sure is a result of being off the haldol.
