    Thanku Marie, I thought it could be to do with the ADs.

    Its probably a comibination of stress/depression and side effects of the ADs, just make sure you get enough sleep, it can really help.

    Ohhh, ok :) I'm trying to get 9 - 10 hours sleep a night, it doesn't feel enough though, I wake up in the mornings tired still, and by 3pm I'm yawning :lol: I give up :)

    9-10 hours is still quite good. I only get about 7 and I'm knackered by 3pm. Just keep going with the sleep, you'll get there with it. I always used to fall asleep in one of my classes last year as I was so tired by that time of day.

    I want to punch things.

    My stomach hurts because I did stupid things to it on Friday for the first time in months. And not little stupid things, big burny nasty stupid things which have burst and gone nasty and painful.

    I think I might have to leave here because of things and I hate that I'm thinking that, because there are so many good people on here.

    I want to curl up into a ball and disappear.

    You should get those burns checked out incase they get infected/or if they already are :yes:

    Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    It won't. It hurts because I keep banging it on things. I have been being forced to put cream on it, so it's not going to get infected.

    Fair enough. Just be careful with them. Infected burns really aren't nice :no:

    Wonderful day- told my tutor that I can't make a deadline, he wasn't impressed whatsoever.

    Had a nice chat with someone from recoveryourlife.com - am really thinking about getting help and telling my parents. It won't be easy though.

    Today has been shit - got told off for stuff that I couldn't have done anything about. (as I don't have eyes in the back of my head and cn't force a child to do something he doesn't want to do.)

    I did have a chat with someone from there on that live chat thing. What she said and the links she gave me were useful.:)

    Note to self:

    1) Picking at things makes them bleed. This is NOT, repeat NOT, a good thing.
    2) Never expect people to act the way you would, you will always be severely disappointed.

    I think I may have to leave. At least til my exams are over. Maybe I'll be back, but tbh I doubt it.

    Because I can't be arsed with this place anymore.

    ETA: Randomgirl - no I haven't. It is burn, singular, and I am going to the doctors on Friday about the...other thing...and so if it's still quite bad then I will mention it.

    Well the last 24 hours have been unbelievably crap.

    last night I was just begging for it all to end so I would never have to feel that way again.

    I seriously insulted porbably my only friend at the moment although ive tried to repair some of the damage its now always going to be there and I wont now get any real chance to sort things out with her until next monday.:banghead:

    and right now I just feel so alone. Im worried because now one of the two things that stop me taking the final step has now gone.

    Chin up, she'll be alright given a couple of days. Friends can take an awful lot of punishment sometimes.

    I hope so. Although shes caught a whole load of flak off me recently as shes been the only person I actually talk to. Then again I guess im surprised shes listened as long as she has.

    I get that with some of my freinds as well, you sometimes just have to have a couple of days apart to cool off especially if you have been emotionally demanding of each other, you do snap sometimes.
