I hope I'm not annoying anyone. And I'm sorry I'm not being any help to anyone else at the moment. I simply have no energy left at the moment. I've given all of myself to other people. But I'm broken and now I'm disappointing everyone. But the worst of it is how badly I've let myself down. Not only ...

I've had a letter saying I missed my appointment with the psychiatrist, but I never had one about this appointment in the first place. Now I'll have to call them tomorrow and try to sort this out. My record with them is looking terrible (although I don't have this sort of problem anywhere else). Sen...

This is one of the most befitting terms I've come across in a long time! It describes my own experiences so well. As upsetting as it is to know others are having the same struggles, I'm relieved I'm not the only one...

Thanks for this, ooby!

Hi ooby, it's good you can see two positive aspects to the visit and also reduce the negativity you had initially placed on the bed breaking. Although I can understand that wasn't a nice thing to wake up to. Beds aren't always built too well and one missing screw (or small fault) etc, make them brak...

Hello, I'm sorry I haven't been around in quite a while. Life has kept me busy I suppose, but my resignation towards ever experiencing what they call "mental wellbeing" also kept me from writing. I was doing my best to accept that this was how it was going to be and trying to get on with i...

Right, I'm going to try and write more frequently as I want to get back into the habit. The reflection helps me sort things out in my head and as my mind is so full of formulae and calculations (why am I not studying something else?), I do need it. My first exam is on Monday. I think I'm ready for i...

Dear Lou, I've just caught up on reading the last few pages of your thread. Things have been so difficult for you lately and I can understand that you wanted to get away from it all. It's an awful lot to take. But I hope you're being well looked after now. You're a wonderful person and it really pai...

Hi, I'm so sorry it's been such a long time. Initially I was extremely busy trying to get all my work before the deadlines. Then I went to Scotland for 10 days (without a phone). Now I'm at my parents busy revising for my May exams. I'm not sure where all this time has gone though. Basically I took ...

My mate left this morning and I'm relieved, because I feel so stressed about my work that it is hard to host someone who needs a lot of support himself. Sadly my work doesn't feel like it is progressing today. I'm stuck on it and by now I'm the only person left in the lab. As I've done so little wor...

Hello Lou and Belle,

you both sound like you need a hug. Please know there are people here thinking of you and hoping things improve soon. Take care of yourselves! You're both such lovely people

Sending love and hugs, xxx ngu
