I hope everybody's okay

Dilemma :
it might be a bit long; I'm at sixth form , year 12 and my head of year knows about my problems, he doesn't really understand even though he's a psychology teacher anyways I've been feeling worse over the last few week and now with all the exam stress, I'm not sure how I will cope with my AS exams, so today I went and told my head of year this and he said I should have gone to the revision sessions during the half term he said he thinks I'm going to fail this year and said if I feel really low maybe I should leave now, after I've talked to my psychiatrist (I have an appointment next tuesday)
So I'm not sure what to do, redo year 12 next year or keep going ???
any other advice appreciated, thanks so much

I've had another totally wasted day. Two of my flatmates are having friends around and my anxiety is rising, I'm just lying in my room watching 4od because I can't summon up the courage to leave. Pretty pathetic.

That's hard when you're not in a good place though. How was today?

Thanks, feel bad, I think this has been the worst week yet for revision. Also new phone arrived today, that hasn't helped with getting distracted.
My first android phone has me amazed as had my previous phone for 3 and a half years and it cost £20 new then.

Is there actually any benefit to you stopping now rather than doing the exams? The way I see it, the school year starts in September so you can't redo year 12 until then, so why wouldn't you do the exams anyway and just see what you get?

Just don't see the point in anything now. Everyone else is more luckier than me. Nothing goes my way. Everyone just puts pressure on me. Why can't they just leave me alone? I really want to do well but I want to revise how/when I want to. I don't want people telling me that I don't have a lot of time left, or how I should do things.

Yeah tbh that sounds similar to what I've been feeling. I thought I would go on facebook to try and get some identity back but it just made me freak out because I saw my pictures and I was like 'woah, i just dont recognise this person' and then my name just felt, like it was wrong. And the same thing - I look in the mirror and it just doesn't feel like me, or that I am controlling the person in the mirror, it's like im just observing. I had a read about derealisation and depersonalisation and it did seem to make some sense. How did you get over it, did it just fade with time? Thanks

You will just have to tell them that your not in a position to make such a decision. Shame you wont get cash..lol

Yep know the feeling of having alot of work to do...lol... as if I would try to get rid of you..

OMG Thank you . Its obvious I haven't had a good time recently . Just want my former non-depressed self to be back, if not in a better state than before. It's ruining my life. Not sure how to get it back though

I have the exact same dilemma .

What I want to do is go ahead with exams, but I'm worried about failing. Sometimes I feel the opposite though. I also want to go somewhere else in September.

However I'm not too sure about what would be the best idea for you . Hate decisions like these .

Haha yer I am in no position to make any sort of decision because I don't want to .. not sure how well that will go down lol!

You spending another fun evening working tonight then hun? and yer yer course you wouldn't



Yer I know it is difficult to see the end at the moment hun, you just have to keep going and push through it though! Its going to be a long road to get back to where you were but it'll be worth it when you get there

Dont give me that look... its the same look mum gives dad when he's had afew too many with me in the pub and he's trying to sound sober. lol

I have only been in about an hour... got a call to fix another computer.... this ones PSU had blown and taken the lights in the house out with it. The PC needs a new part and I reset the circuit breakers... lights came back on. lol

Now Im settling back into my BIS assignment... how about you?... is it movie night again?

haha well clearly the look worked though didn't it ... was looking for more of a *Ive got my eye on you* look but that was the best I could find!

Ah right ... no idea what any of the comp stuff meant but cool sounds good, glad you had fun

But fun fun hope you enjoy the homework hun, dark knight tonight though well this evening! Housemate is really ill so looking after him ahh I am such a nice friend, prewarned him he will be in trouble if he makes me ill though!

Slept in through my doctors appointment, it was at 4:15pm

Hmmm... I think all girls have that look programmed into them.

Now hang on... if your going to look after the poor poor chap then you cant make demands like "you dont wanna get me sick"..lol... he will be too afraid to cough...
