Depression

i've just started seeing a councellor at college. lost in appetite as well as eating too much, little or no sleep resulted in me being diagnosed. also exam stress as well as my boyfriend of 18 months going to university (300 miles away). i mean since i failed my AS's, it hasnt been the same because he gets to plan his future, and get on with his life. im the one who relies on him so much, that when he is not with me i feel lost.
im not looking for sympathy, i get enough of it. i just need some help, as im too depressed to see my councellor. my exams start monday. and if i fail, thats it. no longer have anything, if i pass it means i get a chance of uni, but still away from him for a year.
and i would love to hear from people who are going through similar things.

Health:

Why exactly are you depressed? If you can't get to sleep, take a relaxing bath, listen to soft music and drink hot chocolate just to feel more calm. Sleep is important, it helps our body to function better.

Exams:

If I were you, I would concentrate on your exams for now, plan out finishing the topics off and do lots of exam papers; this should help the information stick in your head much better.

Boyfriend

Also, try not to worry too much about not seeing your boyfriend whilst he's at university; if the relationship really matters to you both then I'm sure you can keep it strong by keeping in touch by email/msn/phone and also have time together during the holiday :smile:

. Plus after the exams, think of how much time you can spend the happy moments with him during the summer holiday! :biggrin:

don't worry about the boyfriend thing, I stayed home this year to do more a-levels and my boyf went to uni, we still see each otherexam easter half term holida, I've visited him 3 or 4 times and he comes home for weekends. plus he finishes a week tomorrow for the whooooole summer. It's really not that much time if you think about it, october till june with a month of at christmas? peasy. believe me, the year will fly by.

thank you. sleep is major thing, i mean all my exams are 9am!! tried all of the above and cannot switch off. night time is my time to think which is bad as it stops me sleeping. revision is going well, during the day im fine and feel prepared but nervousness might be coming out at night. and my boyfriend. well we are so in love. we can make it, but i dont want to have to go through it. he means so much, too much that i cant live without him

I think it might be quite common to feel worse at night. I know I do. It's amazing that you are so close to your boyfriend. Hang on to that. As for the exams, I can't advise because I've never been through exams while depressed. But if you ever want to talk, feel free to PM me.

Honey, get your head down and study - If you want to go somewhere in your life this is the time to get moving, forget about your bf during these exams and revise! Oh, and you can video chat with your boyfriend using Skype, it's awesome.

It sounds to me as if the bf issue is the one ur really focused on atm but if you two really are as close as you say you are then you should be fine i'm sure. When two people really love each other theres nothing they can't overcome and I know it'll be hard but think of how good it will be everytime you do get to see him. As for your exams a little bit of self-confidence goes a long way so stay positive and you'll do fine i'm sure.

You know, i was about to enter this thread and insult you by saying "cheer up emo kid", but i felt bad about doing that.

So all ive got to say is forget your bf for now and concentrate on no being a failure.
