spot on :thumb:
I used to frequent another board when i was feeling really rubbish, and it is helpful to speak to others, but i think you can get to absorbed in it all. You spend all day thinking about feeling shit, so you never get away from the bad thinking.
sorry no it doesnt really relate-
hope everyone is ok
:yes: Seconded.
Hyper Person: From personal experiences you can only hide your feelings from the world for so long and something will break you eventually. You cant keep hiding from things, you need to deal with them.
Ffs I ain't felt this good in years I just want to get on with things, but nothing coming along is pissing me off. I'm a million miles away from how depressed I was six months ago but getting nowhere has knocked my new found confidence a bit.
** Ah rant over**
Had to get that out
Not being able to find a job that meets the critera you want sucks, I'm trying to find a temp job at the moment but most things I look at will underpay me and I'm general too overqualified for them.
Have your tried charity work/volunteering or temping in your career area (if possible, I dont know what you do) to help get some experience. I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, so your not alone.
would love to, but i got a shit load of debt. I have to work in order to pay the monthly figure back. If it wasnt for this debt i could do anything. I have learnt my lesson though. :thumb:
Hyper-i feel for you sweety but you've got a counseller-use her for god sake. If its so bad you're coming on here to let it all out then, print iot off and show it to someone who can help you in real life, coz theres not a lot we can do for you. You've got the opportunity to have someone help and support you, dont lose it, coz then you'll know what its like to be alone and lost with nobody to help you.
Im ok sad at leaving college-feel down generally-feel stupid
gonna lose counsellor in a few weeks-have to learn to cope
Was she through college? see your gp.
yeah she was-can see her during exams and she said she can write referral letter for uni so i dont have to satrt back at the beginning-so want to be able to cope on my own though-feel i finally need to stand on my owntwo feet just scared of falling
Hyper thats a good place to be, however you have to fall sometimes, it makes you stronger, you just dont how you will cope until you try.
people dont like to admit to it, because they feel its a weakness and its bad, but a lot of people need someone to talk to at some point in their lives.
I work for the NHS and we have a staff support/counselling service(i have just started going, ive been once). and its there to help anybody so they can talk about anything. work issues, personal life, short term support or they can make a referral for more specialised help. But that shows you that there must be plently of people that need a little help now and again.
maybe you dont know how to cope on your own. Yet. but you can learn to and you dont have to be on your own and struggle.
maybe you already do. but you wont know unless you try.
Im home alone for a few days as my mates away, and i just feel shit.
I'm ok, as long as im constantly occupied, but as soon as im alone, i feel like self harming and OD'ing.
I can't help thinking about my dad too (he died a year a a half ago). I don't usually allow myself to think about him too much as it upsets me, but recently he has been on my mind. Whats worse is that i idolise my dad. He is everything to me, but right now i can't help feeling angry at him. I'm feeling really bitter, kinda like it's his fault im feeling the way i am. I hate thinking like i do, but i cant help it. And the other day somebody asked me about him, and i had to tell them that he'd died and i felt so awkward. Its like speaking about it brings on a nervous laugh with me. She said sorry for bringing it up, and i laughed and said it was ok, but i feel bad, and feel she probably thinks im taking his death as a big joke. Its not the case at all, and its killing me everyday knowing he's not here.
I just dont know what to do anymore. Ive been really positive lately, but this has knocked me right back, and i don't see the point in being here if im gunna feel like this.
Rant over
god how i wish that'd happen to me
I really want to sh, and the only thing stopping me is that I know I'm going to cut too deep then my dad may find out...
I'm not doing that well either at the moment. Have you got any distraction methods? Drawing on your skin with red pen/ink or putting an elastic band on your wrist and snapping it against your skin helps for me.
