I need to talk to someone

Jacob101

I cant do this alone and i feel so lonely, i feel like no one cares about me, i feel lost, i feel scared, i feel confused, i feel really low, i feel useless, i feel worthless


Sorry to whoever is reading this, sorry for wasting your time.

Hey, *hug*s

Firstly just want you to know that we care about you, and your not alone.

How do you feel today? We are here for you

Hi jpeople - you are not wasting our time at all! As BananaMonkey says you are not alone and this is what we're here for.

Can you tell us anything more about how you're feeling? Did anything in particular prompt it?

Jacob101

Thank you BananaMonkey and cat88 - i just feel numb and like i dont care about anything or anyone anymore, i struggled so much getting out of bed in the morning to the point where i cried at college in the toilets today because ive just had enough and i am so emotionally exhausted - i cant sleep at all and if i do sleep then i get really horrible nightmares and this just come on randomly........i dont know, i just want to get on with college but i just cant.

Could you do something nice for yourself this evening jpeople? Has anything helped in the past with the nightmares, they sound really horrible for you relaxation before bed can sometimes help - gentle breathing exercises or visualising a calm safe place.

It sounds like you're feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, lack of sleep can have a huge effect on mood so try and be kind to yourself if you can over the next few days.

If your body and mind need a rest let them have a rest, it's okay to take a day off college for your mental health, same as you would if you had the flu *hug*

Hi Jo,

ive got so much media coursework to do so haven't got much time to myself this evening and nothing in the past has helped me with the nighmares - i just stay up and either sing to myself or just stay up for the rest of the night then drag myself out of bed in the morning (i guess i sing to calm myself down) and yes my lack of sleep is just making me feel really agitated and overwhelmed with everything and is also causing my panic attacks to come back as bad as ever and yes i could take a day off but my parents dont understand mental illness at all so im sure they would say that its no excuse to have a day off. :banghead:

Perhaps your GP would be a good point of contact with the nightmares and sleeping issues!

Ar you still struggling with your coursework? I'd advise writing a to do list and setting yourself small achievable goals e.g. finish one paragraph of an essay vs the full thing! Be sure to treat yourself afterwards, perhaps to your favourite food, listen to some nice music or watch a film! Alternatively you could get a fit note from your doctor and require an extension for your coursework, if you feel your mental health is really affecting your ability to complete your work and/ or is detrimental to your wellbeing!

Really hope things get better soon I'm here to listen *hug*

Yes i feel that my GP would be a good person to talk to about the nightmares and problems sleeping, going to book an appointment tomorrow and yes im still struggling alot with my cousework so yes all your advice i will take on board and hopefully it will help - everything's worth a try and i will ask my GP about a note for college because i feel that im not really struggling as such with my coursework its just my depression with my real lack of motivation and not being able to concentrate and constantly thinking about everything and over-thinking everything.

Thank you

This happens to the best of us Hun! And many have been/are going through this. You're not alone! Think positive, though I understand this is quite hard at times

Glad you';re feeling okay-Still that way today?x

Jacob101

Today was really bad, my day consisted of crying because so stressed, my teacher questioning me,kept asking if I was ok, finding out that I have failed another one of my units for media and getting kicked out of lesson.

Former Member

Can you talk to anyone at college? Is there any counselling service there? Can anyone speak for you there?

Former Member

You'll be okay and you'll get there x How are you feeling today?x

I am feeling a lot better today - still feel so stressed and feel like i want to scream at everyone but other than that im feeling a lot better, i spent 11am - 7pm doing media coursework as im a failure.

Former Member

You're not a failure.I understand how that feels and what that is like. 'fail to prepare,prepare to fail'.If you do not try hard you are less likely to succeed and get to where you want to be.The thing which is making you a failure is the fact you feel you're struggling..:s

i understand you're feeling stressed though and I know how you feel.I'm the same as that and a lot of other things as well Stay strong and you'll get there

Also just curious,who's on your avatar picture?xx

Jacob101

Hi Hann,

Yes the fact that I'm struggling makes me feel like a failure and the man on my Avatar is Kian Egan and he's known for being a member of Westlife but more well known fir winning I'm a celebrity get me out of here a few years ago.

Former Member

Ah yeah I recognise him now...Who's in the picture with him?

Exactly Hun!It's so important that you've acknowledged that.Feeling any better?x

Jacob101

It's me, i met quite a while back when i was back in school - i skived the morning off school to go and meet him at a local radio station, yes i am feeling better, im still trying to complete all this media coursework which is due in on Tuesday, seems never ending x

Former Member

Wow!How old were you there?So,you skived off school to meet him then hehe?!Skiving isn't great at all but meeting him must have been really lovely and worthwhile haha I also have a lot of work and a deadline nearing...16 essay questions to write and additions to make to another unit of coursework with a deadline of Wednesday AND I work 8-30-6 and suffer with mental health issues on top of that x

Jacob101

I was 16 years old and yep i skived off school to meet him.....well my mum called in to say i will be late as i have a dentist appointment but really i was going off to meet Kian and yes he was so lovely and thats when my interest for radio presenting started so i spoke to the radio presenter as well and got some advice and also got the presenters business card.

Oh god, that seems like a hell of lot of things to do, i managed to fail two whole units.....yep im one of those people who fail because im always too scared to ask for help, my course is 100% coursework as well - good luck with everything and i wish you all the best, YOU CAN DO IT! x

Former Member

Ah bless ya Hun,that sounds really lovely and it's good you found interest in presenting/radio hence the media course eh You will get there and perhaps setting small targets or making a working timetable will help you?

Thank you.Lets just say if i dont pass this unit of one of my courses,im off x

Jacob101

Yes, funnily enough im actually creating a timetable now and if i dont pass these two units then im off the course as well x

Former Member

Well that's good then.See,you're trying hard and taking action and using your initiative so well done you.

Hope it helps x
