Roll on that day!
But until then... I'm good, and I'm getting there.
It took me months, and I really do mean months, to accept that I was depressed even after diagnosis by my doctor. I'd wake up and feel fine one day, and think that I was just making a big fuss over nothing. Other days I'd feel like I was really in the pits of shit, and couldn't face going outside, let alone to go and see someone about my problems.
Depression isn't a failure on your part. Sometimes we just need a little help finding the right direction. A trusted medical professional can be a big help with it .
Sometimes a stranger can be a help, too. Because you can say anything about anyone, and their opinion doesn't matter in the slightest. They've no idea who you're on about...
You're welcome to PM me, if you like. You can say anything you want .
If you feel awkward discussing such things with your regular doctor, you could always ask to see a different one in the same practice? Sometimes it is easiest to talk to someone you'll probably never see again .
Well done for getting this far! You really seem to be getting on top of it! I just want my exams done and over with so I can relax, the pressure is starting to send me a bit loopy. I'm getting on for four months now and as click said about starting again, it should really be seven as I really shouldn't have slipped up in January. All I need to do know is get my relationship sorted out (which is another post all of its own!) and I might just get there.
And nothings changed if anything everythings just got even worse. woopee :yippe: .
(hug)
Hey... I know you probably don't need me to tell you this, but if you really intend on self harming some way, -please- don't take paracetamol again. Even if the effects appear minimal at the time, there can be long term liver damage effects. Also, you can never determine how your body will react to drugs.
Take it out on a pillow next time?
I apologise so much if I sounded patronising in anyway! I really don't mean to!
Don't try stuff like that again, believe me it's not worth it and I know I woke up in an hospital after having an OD of pills and I'm glad I miss because even when everything seems wrong and not worth it, it is, it is more than you can imagine...
I don't know what your problems are specifically, but believe me they are not worth doing that for... Even my problems at the time that were losing my baby, having my wife go mental and leave me and all that shit, I realised it was really not worth it...
When you feel like that come in here, post, post anything that will keep yur mind of thing, call some friends, msn there is no shame in asking for help specially when your life is on the line...
Life is precious even if it doesn't seems like it all the time, sometimes it's really hard but you have to keep on fighting the urges and get through you will only end up being stronger at the end...
Hang up in there, it will get better...
is it a joke or do you have something that need listening, cos if so go ahead, atm I a here...
Take care.
Pessimism. I'm a born pessimist. It's just what I am. I always tend to see the darkside of something. When everything's going great, I always want and need to have something to stress or worry about, because I'm used to feeling this way. But I don't want things to be like that.
Why do I force myself to be upset about something? Surely that's not healthy? Is there some kinda name for that? Or is it just unfortunate? And a bit fucked up?
Bah...It's too late to do anything about it now.
I know it's hard, but it's important to do your best and concentrate. If the stress is getting too much, take the time out to read a book for half an hour, watch some television that'll cheer you up, or do something that isn't related to your studies. Once you feel better, return back to what you need to do with a clear mind.
Good luck with the rest of your exams
Thanks for the luck and I hope you get the results you want
feeling really messed up.bein stupid. destroying everything ive changed
Too stressed out. Wish I'd have done more revision. Wish I could cut, just NEED to. Am fed up of pretending to friends I'm fine when I feel like this. Am fed of feeling like shit tbh.
But just keep it in mind that really you don't ~need~ to cut. If you can find an alternative you know that you can stop yourself. You just need to do some convincing.
Also, there's no need to pretend to your friends that you're fine. Everyone deserves to let people know how they feel. And your friends will be there for you, even just for a hug to help.
We're all here for you too! :yes:
