    I wish. My doctor is on holidays and I don't really feel comfortable with any of the others in the practice.

    And the jury is still out on support groups :(

    Nobody here is worthless. No one. I think. Except me I don't know.

    I've been reading 'a bright red scream the art of self mutilation' it's pretty interesting.

    Had a fairly ****e weekend. Had a few rather prolonged panic attacks due to events out of my control and a big argument with my family. Don't think anyone plans on talking to me very soon as a result. So I snapped a bit for my Easter.

    Now here's the ironic part, the essay that I assumed I failed and had a bit nervous breakdown over a couple of months back. Apparently got 67% in it which is rather good but i'm in a ****e mood so can't appreciate this fact. Oh well.

    Think it might be bad that my opinion on self harming is turning into a other people drink and smoke, why can't I do this thing.

    Hey

    Was away the weekend so struggled to get on and post I tried so hard not to get to ‘giddy’ so as this week would be some what normal but in a big bad hole this week. Doesnt feel like the usual down feeling I get feels more aggressive. Am so bad for talking so left a note for OH when I went for my shower, at first he was like ah you will be grand its just after the long weekend etc I just know its something more. Am dreading the next few days my bff’s birthday at the weekend too so need to plaster on the ‘happy face’

    I get the just not wanting to be here, I dont necessarily want to harm myself but if I could slip away quietly it would be fab. I sometimes find it hard to get joy from my little daughter, she is amazing and I love the bones off her, but sometimes I think if she wasn’t here would I feel this way? And also if I did feel this way I wouldn’t feel as guilty for the bad thoughts.

    I hope everyone is ok today (whatever ok maybe!)

    Ya, seeing people happy with the weather makes me feel worse for some reason.

    You really have to go to your HR department. It's completely unacceptable for someone to be harassing you at work and if you report it, they will be forced into a position where they have to cop on.

    Last week was moderately enjoyable because I spent it doing absolutely nothing. Now that I have to get myself back into a routine and am faced with the prospect of study and coursework, I'm feeling really dejected and tired again. I always tend to give up on things before trying properly, 'cause it's easier and less painful to not try than to try and fail. :(

    Don't think that's true because it builds up imo.

    I know but it's still hard to push yourself into at least making an effort. It worries me how content I am to do absolutely nothing, it's looking increasingly likely that I'm gonna end up some unambitious bum who just coasts through life with the tiniest of effort and never achieves anything or has anything to be proud of. :( If I was just good at something, or even had any idea what it is I'd like to do with my life, I might be ok. But every potential career move or lifestyle fails to appeal to me. If things keep going the way they are now I'll be in a dead end job 'til I die, if I'm lucky enough to even get any sort of job in the first place.

    I went to town on my arm last night. Lucky I'm so good at treatment now, thanks to the 1.50 bargain shop. Nothing bad enough for the hospital anyway, but it pays to be careful.

    I was surprised to see this forum. I was of the understanding that you could not talk about mental health. Just like in society.!!!
    I live in a small town in the west of ireland, unfortuinetly enevitibly people found out that I was having ECT Then, when I eventually got home people would cross the road to avoid me. Maybe its just lack of public awareness. Even now people I used to talk to, turn there head when they see me. Not, obviously my "true" friends have not treated me any differently thank goodness. I dont know if this is just a rural Ireland attitude or is it in every country. My family keeps telling me that the people that have avoided me are not worth worring about. But you will now that no ammount of peoples best intentions with advice will you change your mindset Probably some of you will understand when your not having a "good" day, you think that everyone is out to get you..;thanks for reading.S

    You'd think so, but sadly there are politics and posturing and even bullying in most workplaces; it's not really something we ever grow out of.

    It's probably worse for people lacking in confidence (as many with depression & anxiety are), as by not replying or acting they make an easier target; and end up just bottling it up inside or even blaming themselves.

    If I could offer one piece of advice, it would be do something about it now, rather than waiting for the next 'incident' and being too angry or caught off guard to react calmly and assertively. I think you'd be surprised how often the 'bully' can be surprised, or even apologetic when confronted - directly or indirectly.

    If you're GENUINELY happy doing nothing, then just accept it and be happy about it. Don't feel as if you need to chase someone else's ambitions. That said, you probably do need a job, as at least then you have a bit more money to give you options, in case you DO want to do something. :)

    Slow down man, see everybody with fresh eyes without your own judgements (we all have them no matter what and even about friends) and see how the world looks rather than wondering how you look to the world!

    Hope ye have fun!
