Depression Support Thread

hi all,

Thanks everyone for the good thoughts and hugs - its nice knowing someone is sort of there.

Unfortunately things have got pretty bad today, my diss was due today and as i was feelin so bad yesterday I booked to see the mental health advisor. They rang my dept to see if they could give me another extension and the answer was a very ubrupt NO. I have spent the day crying and going back and forth between my dept, student services, the dr's and so on and it looks like my options are withdrawing and starting again as a part-time student in sept or trying to get the diss in for this coming friday (unofficial extension) and putting extenuating circumstances in and hoping for the best.

I actually burst into tears in one of the tutors office and was sniffling in my dept heads office - it was so embarrassing.

The dr's didnt have anything useful to offer but has upped my dosage of citalapram back upto 30mg (ive already been upto 40mg but it made my legs go crazy).

how's everyone else?

pots and pots of it ... no idea whats going to happen really, i have to wait for the lady in charge to come back on tuesday but my options seem very limited.

i cant believe this is happening to me, i wish i could have my life back to how it used to be - i had no idea how good things were. i never thought this would happen to me.
