i will get there with the uni work its just hard when my heads in so many places at once. and i know perspective is important and that there are all #firstworldproblems - i will post a link to a jim jefferies clip i empathise with though take it with a pinch of salt!

i agree, meds are short term not a solution. i tried them last time while on a waiting list and went through a few kinds and none were any improvmet so i wont this time.

my plan is to focus on studies, my previous relationship was different as it was so long and largely so easy. the latest one was partly ended due to the impact it was having on my work however that impact is still lasting.

andi am enjoying uni, much more so than the first time i went! i do try and remove the thoughts but my coping strategies for that havent been as effective recently. I was looking forward to really getting indepth with a therapist about it and also using it as a learning experience for when im in the other chair.

most of what caused the stress has now gone, or atleast the most recent trigger for it. The breakup at the beginning of summer (we had been together 4years) didnt affect me at the time and i knew it woudl hit me eventually so i think its partly that. especially as this is the first year in 4 years i wont be waking up on xmas day with a partner which is going to be quite lonely! going to the parents in the evening so its not too awful. i dont really like christmas all that much anyhu.

i do have alot on my agenda, but alot of it is quite interlinked and it all helps eachother out. then my job is just separate but i need the money so cant escape that one!

Ive been doign things to try and relax and enjoy myself...which as a student largely involves going out partying which is amazing while im out but the next day in the light of the hangover i see how much stuff i have yet to do. though the drunken memories are great!

I love that this site is here again and i am able to vent to a safe space, even though some of you know who i actually am xD

i refuse to take meds, ive had them before and i was so numb...both emotionally and mentally, it would mean i couldnt do any of my uni work to the standard it needs to be at and right now thats the most important thing for me to be focus on. i cant mess uni up for a second time!
I am on the waiting list both for group therapy and the university services so really its whichever gets back to me first.
And i dont feel the need to go anon on here, im open about my issues and most have been details through my past few posts. I know its stuff i can deal with really but i just havent had a break away from everything since before summer when it all started. Actually i had just got back from holiday so yeh ive been stuck in just a slowly sinking pit of failing relationships, work stress, uni stress, and all the extra bits im doing to boost my CV as i really do need to have the extra stuff if i stand a chance to excel at my chosen path.

Hopefully at the end of january ill be able to disappear for a few weeks between the semesters and go have a break with some friends on the other side of the uk and have some space from everything.

Oddly this is aso so far the best year i've at at uni as ive finally met some decent people and am making a solid circle of friends whereas the past two years have more just been people ill see in a lecture and possibly go drinking with, not friendships of substance.

Ive spoken to my tutors about everything so they are aware of the situation and have given me a bit of extra support and put the work into perspective and shown me i stil have enough time to get it all sorted as long as my heads in the right space.

With my phone assessment today i scored lidly for depression and anxiety however as i said to the lady on the phone its more the stress thats getting to me. my depression scores have barey moved since i had my last therapy 4 years ago and finished and my anxiety is the same so its not effecting me too much yet. but i do feel that if i cant relieve the stress im feeling that those will inturn be aggrevated.

I think the worst part is as i am studying psychology, and clinical psychology specifically which looks at mental illnesses the diagnosis and aetiology and treatment etc i understand what and why i am feeling the way i do. i already know many good coping strategies to help improve the cognitions that are the issue however i think because i now understand it theyre also less effective. like when you know how the magic trick is done i suppose.... i do find just venting helps but alot of my friends also have mental health issues and i'm the one they come to which is great! i love it and that makes me confident in my career choice however it makes me feel that i cant break that face for some of them.

I have also looked at the online resources provided by my local provider and theyre stuff ive still got the paper work from before.

Thank helpbot, luckily i am not at the point and doubt that will occur however if there was someone who was not in that frame of mind i can imagine it would be far too long. As someone going into mental health as a career i feel this highlights the sheer lack of funding and how these services need to be built up. Hopefully as it gains popularity everything will get better around mental health....

Are pit bulls safe to have as a domestic dog?

I have met many supposedy viscious breeds where the dog has been brought up properly and i have never seen an issues. on the flip side i have seen many usually dosile breeds that have had viscious streaks in a particular dog..again because of how they were raised. My parents used to own a kennel so ive seen some dogs that also do fit the stereotypes but hey they gotta come from somewhere. there is some argument for genetics in that if the puppy did have particularly aggressive parents then they may be more inclined to be that way however as with most things like this the environment is usually the more important factor. also interstingly jack russels which people people think of as small an cute are one of the more common breeds to cause injuries to children as they get super grumpy when theyre old.
