    Hun, have you thought about talking to someone, maybe not your mum, as you say you dont want to worry her. But maybe someone within your student welfare office, or seeing your GP? I really think you need some kind of support in place, especially with the stresses of uni they can bring on alot or worries.

    Its nearly the end of term now, so I can't really this term. Might look into it in October when I go back to uni, it might help, I dont know. I'm better when I'm at home around mum as I tend to try harder at not hurting myself, as I know it would really upset her if she found out.
    You are battling self harm on your own, and well done on not doin anythin soo far. really well done, your dream could be your subconcious thinkin about shing. Often when we sleep we are relaxing, and subconcious things come to the surface.
    Maybe, I didn't think of that. I had a similar dream last night, but different people. Kind of strange, but I knew this time that it was a dream.. if you get me? :)
    Hun, what is normal anymore? I dont think there is a normal anymore. we are all people, all individuals, and all seperate in our own way, it what makes us unique, including you hun ;)
    Lol thanks :p sometimes I do wonder though...
    SH is a way of coping hun, its a coping mechanism, it may not be the best way, but its still a way of coping.

    You dont need to do this on your own, get the help hun, we are all here for support hun. And if ya ever need to talk you know where i am, ;) ,

    Thanks, you say the nicest things :) I love this thread, I feel like I can be myself and no one will judge me. :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: to those who want or need one :)

    Been feeling odd last couple of days - Put id down to getting the grat of probate through for my dad's will. Today its all going pear shaped (close to tears at the drop of a hat) and I suddenly remembered that I didn't take my meds for a few days - How many I don't know - Maybe 3 or 4.

    So I am trying to be extra bright and funny at work so that they won't ask whats wrong (which will open the floodgates good and proper) and I';ve sneaked off to the loo for a little sob

    I may have to leave early today which I REALLY don't want to do, but sitting in an open plan office with tears streaming dowbn your face does not a happy workplace make!

    Sorry to lumber you all but as SF said - tyhis is a place I can be me

    Oh GRRRR WHy is this happening again?

    Can I just ask... how do you tell if you are just a bit down or are depressed and need help?

    I go for weeks being just fine and then just one thing seems to trigger me off and I'm crying for hours and working out whether to take a pile of painkillers or something worse. But I wouldn't even really do anything as even just thinking about it scares me. Then a couple of days later I can be just fine again for weeks. I don't even know what happens or why it happens really.

    I don't know. I just know I feel low, so very low and then suddenly it can all go away and brighten again .

    Hi Newlywed,

    welcome to the depression thread :) How are you feeling today? Any better? I cant really advise you too well other than what others have said to you on here to go and see your GP :)


    Take care and remember you are not alone,we are all here for one another,

    lots of love,

    Thanks. Yes feel better today. That's what I mean, the low feelings are sometimes just half a day or so, other times a couple of days. Never a full week of feeling down.

    Always understood depression to be longer periods which is why I wanted to ask. But when I feel down, it's really low. Lately it does seem to be running through the family. Aunts, cousins, sisters, and dad too. I'm not low for long periods of time like my sister was, not angry all the time like my dad is (although I did used to find I was a lot more angry when I lived at home). Just some days one cross word will send me off, or several things going wrong at once will send me off. Dunno really.

    Felt lots better from having admitted it, written it down and asked on here yesterday. Thanks.

    It might be just more in my mind, when things go wrong or when people are cross with me my mind takes over and adds all the other stuff to it to make me feel completely worthless. I don't usually feel like that. :o

    :hello: everyone,

    I just saw my phisopherapist who is helping me understand me better.I have just cried as I am really tired as went to bed last night 11.45pm:eek: and woke at 9am.I so find it hard to talk to her about how I am feeling.She had suggested to me I put pressure on myself to be perfect and that everyone makes mistakes,whereas if I make mistakes I think to myself why,She also said I cannot be perfect 100% of the time and I pressure myself to be just that if you get what I mean and I pressure myself so hard I feel I let myself down and thats when I feel low etc,that is possibly true I suppose.

    Well I better run as Dad is picking me up for lunch at mums today.


    lots of love,

    Katie xxx
