    What can I do? I've been taking the citalopram but it hasn't made any difference. Not even any crappy side effects. I'm really really desperate. I've called Samaritans but talking isn't helping. I'm seeing the doctor again on the 18th but that seems really far away. And I don't see what she can do anyway? I don't know what to do. I'm finding it really hard to cope with being me.

    How long have you been taking the citalopram?

    It might take a while to kick in.

    Maybe you could bring the GP app forward?

    Only a week or so, so I suppose I should wait longer before saying it doesn't work.

    I can't change my GP app because I'm going to be in another place this week. Having a change of scenery might do me good anyway, even if it's only Glasgow.

    I feel like an awful person today because I got caught by my mum trying to steal temazepam. I don't know what she thought I was planning on doing with it (I think she thought I was just kidding around because me and my sister have both made jokes about selling it before. But she isn't angry and I doubt she's even given it a second thought) but I know what I was planning on doing with it and it makes me all disappointed in myself.

    Well I went for the follow up appointment with the doctor. She couldn't remember who I was so it didn't go particularly well. Increased my dose of Citalopram, without mentioning any other things I could be doing to help myself. However, I am quite anaemic so when I start getting enough iron and stuff I should be a bit less exhausted.

    I'm supposed to be starting university on friday and I really can't be bothered.

    Hey Grace,

    How is/was your first day at university? Do you feel you have any more energy than before?
    Hope you're okay

    It's going ok ish so far. My flatmates are quite nice. I'm finding it a real effort to be sociable and meet new people, it's a lot easier to just sleep in my room all the time. The conversations I do have with people seem so pointless and just make me feel kind of angry and apologetic.

    I feel really stupid here. I have mild dyspraxia, which isn't normally too much of a problem, but now I'm so nervous about everything else I'm very clumsy and awkward. I fell off my chair today at my enrollment appointment and knocked a big metal sign down the stairs as I was leaving a lecture hall, and people just look at me like I'm an idiot.

    I'm looking forward to classes starting so at least I have something to concentrate on.

    I feel your pain. I had to sit in on a load of graduations and lead people in and out of the hall. I fell over my gown and nearly took a Vice Provost out with me in front of 1000 proud parents and graduating offspring. Even "successful" people at uni have clumsy days (I'm not even dyspraxic)!
