Re: Has anyone here been on antipsychotics
Hey @spacedog, I can hear how this is concerning you, and I should say that it's not uncommon to be worried about side effects of these types of medication.
As @eylah mentioned, it's best to speak with the person who prescribed this medication. It's possible that they find another medication that you respond better to and face less severe side effects. How do you feel about talking to them about this?

Re: Getting ready for university
Hey @OceanDreaming - I can hear that you're feeling worried about getting ready for university, and that's quite natural. It's a new place, moving into a new accommodation, meeting new people - that's a lot of change all in one go.
It's good to hear that you've sorted out finance and accommodation - those are two really important things to get out of the way. You've started making lists on what you need, which is great. I'd also suggest looking online for "moving in checklists" that former uni students create, as those give good ideas of things you might not have thought of.
I can hear how you want to ease the transition into uni, and it's great that you want to get used to some of the new things you're buying - that sounds pretty sensible to me. Don't be afraid to ask a friend or family member to help you the first couple of times if you like, support and company can help!
Despite all the preparation, I'd be prepared for the change to take some time to get used to - it's very common for people to take the first few weeks to get into the swing of things. You'll be around lots of people who feel a similar emotion to you. Talking to those you study with and live with is a big help - you feel less alone as you find you're in a similar boat to those around you, and you'll meet people and make friends that way!

Re: Things I want to do in august
These are some great goals for August @Rose113. You should share some of the photos you're taking in August, I'm sure lots of us would love to see them. Also your poems too
Have you tried one of the 30 day photo challenges before? You have a theme to take a photo of each day which can be quite fun. There's lots of ideas on Pinterest if you wanted to have a look
