in limbo

Posted September 27th 2015 at 01:39 PM by Evanesco (Lost in Time and Space)

My lectures start on Tuesday. I am not ready for this. I really want them to start because I want to learn. I want to study. And I want the distraction of doing things to take my mind off everything else. But I can't get up in the mornings so how am I going to attend them? I have really poor reading comprehension at the moment. I struggle to hold a pen. I don't know how to do this. I hate my disability I hate my illnesses I want to be normal. I want to be able to do uni like a normal person instead...

Functioning adult?!

Posted September 26th 2015 at 05:25 PM by Evanesco (Lost in Time and Space)

I'm the chair of my uni's LGBTQ+ society and today I ran our first LGBTea of the year. It went really well, no one looked sad, people were smiling and laughing and chatting, people stayed the whole time (4 hours) rather than go home early, it was good.

One of the members is from Sweden and we got chatting and it's awesome because I'm learning Swedish. We had a full on nerd out over linguistics and then he added me on facebook.

And I feel... happy? At least cheerful....

I'm trying

Posted September 25th 2015 at 03:27 AM by Evanesco (Lost in Time and Space)

How to get away with murder is an amazing show and everyone should watch it.

Lectures start next week and I'm really excited.

I managed to do one day of the freshers fair.

I'm going to complete the BEA this year.

I've got my habitrpg up and running again.

I can do this.

Struggling to see the point

Posted September 21st 2015 at 07:31 PM by Riddikulus

I've been trying so hard to hold it together the past few days, with a new job starting soon, my old University are still trying to do all they can to ruin my life and future career.
I really want to cut myself but I'm trying really hard not too, those thoughts are then leading to thoughts of overdose and I'm finding it really difficult to push them back. I just don't see a point anymore.

Posted September 21st 2015 at 09:05 AM by David Armes

Home life can be challenging at times because of all the changes that will need to be made to help you make yourself better. However people at home may not be as accepting to the changes as you are so it is important that you can respect.

Don’t be surprised of you find that people do get a bit moody towards you for a while. This is perfectly normal as it can be hard for people to accept the changes that you are going to have to make. The best piece of advice that I can give on the...

Keeping friendships alive

Posted September 21st 2015 at 08:52 AM by David Armes

Friendships are one of the most important things for someone to have when they are mentally ill. It is so important to have someone out there that you can have a chat with when you are feeling a bit down and it is nice to have company should you need it.

However sometimes the strain of the work you put on them can take its toll on the friend and you need to understand that they may need some time away from the strain of everyday life whilst keeping friendships healthy.

Circle of death

Posted September 20th 2015 at 07:28 AM by David Armes

The circle of death is something that my councillor told me about a few weeks ago. In its most simple terms it is a circle that is split into 3 sections that I will explain.

The first is soul. This is YOUR soul and your mind. If you get depressed over the death of a loved one then this is the section that you will fall into. When they refer to the soul they are talking about how your mind copes, the types or emotion that you show and your will to go out and do things. This is mental...

I can't control it

Posted September 17th 2015 at 12:00 PM by Riddikulus

I feel like I'm slowly getting worse and worse, the urges to hurt myself are getting stronger and I'm really struggling to control them. I can't go near a bridge or anything at the moment without thoughts going through my head. I don't know what to do anymore.
