I got reminded in a rather painful way that I need to buy a new sports bra very soon. Horrible boob chafing after a 10 mile run from one that used to be my favourite, and it stings like hell now

Ilyana · 22-04-2012 6:59pm

I'm really not cut out for this whole academic thing.... which is a shame seeing as I'm no good at anything else! I'd love to be a writer but I don't know how to break into it. I'll still keep up my course because it's really good, but it's hard to motivate myself to excel in it when I don't know if I'll go into the primary career paths it gears you towards (i.e. if I'll be a solicitor or a barrister).

In other news, might be going to Prague in June

Holy crap my parents are ridiculously awesome! I've been saving since September to pay for my postgrad and I'm gonna keep saving til it starts. I'm hoping to keep working part-time during the year but they've just told me that they're gonna give me 100e a week to keep me going, even if I manage to keep up my job! Totally shocked. My mam works part-time and my dad is basically retired. Can't believe how fantastically amazing they are.

Novella · 22-04-2012 7:22pm

This is me -

2 months before exams - "I'm gonna study so much for these exams. I'm just going to do a little bit of study every day and it'll be totally worth it."

1 month before exams - "There's still loads of time left, perfectly fine to start studying now. I'm on top of all of this."

2 weeks before exams - "Okay, should've started a bit sooner but hey, this is better than usual! I'll start tomorrow, gonna knuckle down."

1 week before exams - "Really should've started studying a few weeks ago, but no one else seems to be studying so it's still okay! I'll make a revision plan now and highlight important things and basically do sweet fuck all except make my books look pretty but at least stationary is now involved!"

Night before exams - "It's too late to study now! If I didn't get it the first time, what hope do I have now?! I'll just mess around on the internet instead."

Singing exam wasn't the best. nerves hit and i warbled the very first note and had to go again :rolleyes: continued on after come hell or high water
scales etc went ok
ah well sure it's over now

so tired now but i think i'm at the "take it easy" stage now before the exam in the morning, no point trying to do anything now

Mollikins · 22-04-2012 7:35pm

First exam in the morning. Panicking a bit already. Trying to study for it but I can’t really concentrate. Feel like I don’t know anything for it or I’ll sit down to start the exam and my mind will go blank. I’ve been so busy trying to get through the last few days of college and concentrating on finishing assignments and handing them in and not losing the plot that I haven’t had any time to study for the actual exams and it’s making me panic more than I normally would. I know I’m being ridiculous and I need to calm down but I’ve no idea how to. Gah, I hate being such a worrier.

Jesus how many of us have exams in the morning? :eek:
Good luck Novella and Bluewolf and anyone else.

Kiera · 22-04-2012 7:46pm

It'll take a minor miracle for me at this stage, but I'm holding out a bit of hope that the questions will be kind

rebel girl 15 · 22-04-2012 8:20pm

I'm awake since 4am and starting to get to the stage where my brain is fried - I've the discussion to do, which is going to take most of my time, and the conclusion and recommendations which I'm starting now, because they are easier to do and don't require quotes. Over 3000 words done, I'm hoping to hit around the 4,500 word mark - anyone wanna finish it for me??

Best of luck to all those starting exams

for the past few months i havent been feeling myself
i suspected that i had depression
i figured that it would go away if i compressed it and held it in
i bottled up my feelings for the most part which was a stupid decision

so this weekend it all came out and i over did it with drink
i feel like crap and i realised i had to talk about it
im scared that i have changed
and i talked to my sister and she told me to go to the doctor

so tomorrow im going to go to the doctor....im tired of feeling this way
i want to feel like myself again

sorry about this depressing post but i needed to come out and say it

This is a poor excuse for a proper sunday dinner (and mine isn't even birdseye quality- it's lidl)
I miss sunday dinners, they were the best thing about living at home

However I am going to make popcorn for dessert (the proper kerrnal popcorn like my mom makes) and cuddle up with the woof and watch a film

I had a mammy-dinner today for the first time in months ... it was awesome!

Roast chicken, loads of stuffing, gravy, mashed potatos, mushrooms, carrots ... yum! And I finally got my Easter egg too, can't believe it didn't get eaten by now!!

Decided to procrastinate from study some more by making substantial dinner. Root vegetable mash (carrot, parsnip, potato, sweet potato), with garlic and butter, all whipped up like. With an amazing garlic chicken kiev.
Totally stuffed. Time to do about two hours of studying me thinks.

You have taken the first step! Good for you. The only way is up they say! Talking to someone always helps. x

FouxDaFaFa · 22-04-2012 8:50pm

You're not alone, Pixie-Fairy. I know it might feel like it because depression just isn't talked about in society. But there are lots of people who understand first-hand what you're going through. The doctor will know what to do and this won't be his/her first time dealing with it.

Good on you for deciding to get help.

No one will judge you. If the read the thread on after hours, let laugh at those with depression you will find there is a lot of support.

It's natural to feel how you do. Some put down their thoughts on paper, it may help if you do this. Stress around exam time increases 10 fold, don't worry about tomorrow or the next day or next week, take each day at a time..

Good luck with your exams, and going to your gp will help...

Hugs

Have a huuuuuge graze on my knee. Left the house late today and threw clothes on in a rush. My tights dried into the graze.....just lost a chunk of my knee taking them off

Next time, sponge the dried in bit with water and it'll soften up and you get to keep your knee...

I was exactly like you but got to the point where I needed to get back to who I was. I was so unhappy so I went to my doctor a told him that I wasn't myself and was feeling really down and he sent me to talk to someone and I felt a million times better after about 6 sessions. It will be well worth it to go talk to someone hon x

Have you tried keeping a journal? That way you can write it all down and then when you need to articulate yourself you'll have the words, and you won't be as frustrated

It'll all be ok. Remember that one day you'll look back and this will be a distant memory

It's normal for the smallest things to feel overwhelming when you're in that place

Pixie Fairy I was in a very similar position to you not that long ago but I kept repressing the feeling and wouldn't talk to anyone and it cost me a lot. It's my biggest regret to date.
You should be so fricking proud that you're decided to get help! I think sometimes people underestimate how hard it is to come to that decision. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks, you may actually find it suprising how many of your family and friends have experienced it in their lives too.
Well done missus, be proud, I think you're amazing. PM is open if you ever want to talk xx

That's exactly how I felt. It was all a front which made me even more unhappy and withdrawn.

Just think, tomorrow is the start of you feeling yourself again. It's gonna be the best thing you've ever done

Once exams are over I reckon you'll feel a bit better. Or at least more able to deal with how you're feeling without them hanging over you. Exams are horrible and unnecessarily stressful, in my opinion

I'm in final year too, and I'm finding this last round of exams the most pressurising. My results last semester dipped in a couple of modules, and there's no "next year" to make up the difference anymore and it's all starting to get very real now.

I hope your doctor is good and can help. And good luck with the exams

Well done Pixie-Fairy, hope you're feeling better soon, and like WesternNight said, it might be a bit easier to deal with when you don't have exams on top of everything. Good luck!

I are bad at studying. And doing stuff. The only thing I've done in the last 2 hours that could possibly be viewed as constructive was turning on the heater.

The Lovely Muffin · 22-04-2012 10:19pm

Pixie-Fairy - I really hope it goes well with your doctor. *hugs*

I myself have depression so I can understand the feelings, emotions and moods that come with it.

When I was first diagnosed with depression I kept it to myself for a few months, like you, I thought it was best if I kept it to myself, it was only after about five months that I told my family because I needed their support but I didn't realise at first just how much I needed their support.

If you ever need to talk or rant etc, you can PM me any time you need to.
