being behin din like 3 subjects is not fun

i think, currently, 7. i did 2 last year too, and failed 1, did ok in the other

Could you possibly drop one and do a study skills option, to give you more time to get your work done? I know it might not sound like the perfect option but i am worried your over working yourself and your going to make yourself seriously ill.

I nearly missed my art exams due to exhaustion and its not fun at all.

If I knew you irl, i'd give you a masive squeezy hug. In any case, :hugs:

You don't know if they'll let you, unless you ask. And so what if you leave school with fewer GCSEs than your classmates? Most colleges and sixth forms are only really interested in you getting a C in maths, english and 3 other subjects. You can always take more at a later date, or take a year out to get better. This will NOT affect whether you can go to uni. Seriously, Universities are used to people having odd education histories, applying with active mental illness. If they know you have MH issues, the university will bend over backwards to keep you on the course. The disabled student support people here have thrown literally EVERYTHING they can think of at me. They've suggested a smaller exam venue and always being in there for my exams, rest breaks during exams if everything gets a bit too much. Lending me a dictaphone to record lectures with if i'm having a bad day and my anxiety makes it difficult to concentrate, or having a notetaker.

I am now seeing my MH as something I live with as suppose to recover (cure) from. No more sodding around with meds that alter my personality, no more mucking around with stupid nhs therapy for you when they cancel and don't bother to tell you the day before or the morning before.

For me now so long as I keep myself busy with distractions, make mild adjustments to my life I live with it. To me its diabetes not a broken leg. If I have bad few weeks I have bad few weeks if I have a good few weeks I have good few weeks/hour/day/20 mins.

If I end up in crisis I will them.

Thank you for your nice comment. I am struggling to make it in today due to my OCD but I hope support will be in place for next week. I am really trying and am reading up about all the lectures at home! I have talked to my additional learning support mentor. Thank you again.

No problem. :smile:

Sounds like you're really trying to make a go of it with uni - best of luck to you!

I hope not, I really like it here :'-) I can classify some of you as a friend, that's how much this means to me :smile:

I'm sorry I can be too eccentric at times, I'm sorry I'm not the best advice giver, I'm sorry that I can be a broken record at times, I'm sorry I say the wrong things from time to time, I'm sorry I can over-compliment. Most of the time, especially in regards to the last one, I do it because I care about...well...you(everyone) :redface:

I try man...I do try...I do.

Good to have you about the place. :hugs:

Try not to worry too much, it's so easily done! A lot of receptionists aren't as nice as they should be and it's easy to panic :sadnod:

You came back :gah:

Good to see you on here, sweetie. And can totally empathise with your predicament of being in love with someone unavailable. Tiz fun, isn't it? :nopity:

He didn't say anything about it but I couldn't think straight and didn't mention most of what I needed to mention (including MH stuff) and he was kind of unhelpful too when he normally is and now just feel even worse than I did before I went :cry2:

Also just been offered two weeks work experience in London which is amazing but I really couldn't cope with it at the minute so don't know what to say to them cus I want to do it :s-smilie:

Sorry about the rant there, hope you're ok :redface:

But have you tried?
Iv found i have to be pro active about my mental health, or it wont improve in the slightest. And its suprising how helpful can be when they know the FULL story. I genuinly think youl be pleasently suprised if you ask.
Maybe your form tutor wasnt fully listening and thought you were just stressed, have you been back and explained?
Do you know who your pastoral support is in your school?

Then i feel he did the right thing for what you told him IMO.
I wasnt honest with myself about my mental health for a long time, years infact and it hasnt done me any good whatsoever.
Can i ask why you wont go to the drs?
