I'm sitting. I keep thinking I should do stuff but I'm really tired so I might just go to bed.

Oh no! When do you have to be up? :( Hope you sleep well too Leigh!
I have to get up at a reasonably time tomorrow, my dad is bringing the dog to go for a walk. I love that dog :D

Urgh I missed my early morning practical lecture (again) it's the one we need to get the attendance form signed. I just didn't fall asleep until almost 3. I, going to end up in so much trouble.
How is everyone else?
Life can be beautiful if you let it.
Step back, breathe and take it in
Is it something you could speak to your tutor or disability officer about? If you are missing practical through insomnia due to your mental health maybe they could arrange make up practicals or something.
So far not been too bad. Part from tiredness but that's pretty standard. I made it to my second lecture so it was ok. Now just a weekend of loneliness to contend with. Tbf it's not to bad. I will see people.
Glad your calmer. Are you up to anything this eve/weekend?

Well done on making it to your second lecture! That is no mean feat when you have already missed one!!
I hope you don't have a too lonely of a weekend, do you have any plans?
I need to do some revision but other wise nothing interesting not that revision counts as interesting :P
Well done for getting to the second lecture Leigh :)

Thanks for all the hugs - I appreciate it and I find it super tricky to ask for help. I have been really struggling to go to and stay at work recently but it's half term now so thankfully I have a little time off, normally that would be hard but school does try to be supportive I just don't really know what they can do to help.
Hope you're feeling a bit less anxious today hannah - how's the unpacking going?
And Leigh I agree it sounds like a good idea to speak to someone at uni if you are struggling to make it to lectures.
Hope the revision is going well Sarah!
"this is the room where you don't have to be brave"
I hope having some time off over half term helps a bit Katie - do you have any plans? Do you have any support in place at the moment? *hugs*
Well the good news is that I have basically unpacked - the bad news is that I haven't really put things away so it's just strewn all over my room!

I will ask butit's really confusing when they ask me what support I need, when I don't really know what is on offer. And so I don't Think there is anything they can do.
Katie I am glad it is now Half term and you get a bit of a break. Are you going to do anything nice?
Hannah, my room is so messy again after having a massive tidy up before you came.

Leigh, can you outline the things that you are struggling with and ask what support is available? It's okay if you don't know - and you might be surprised what they can offer. I used to have one of the peer support volunteers meet me at my house and walk to my 9am lecture with me :P
Haha oh no. I'll have to come and visit again to make you tidy :P
I went to a stretch class at the gym this evening. It was a lot more enjoyable than expected!

Thanks, I'm going to stay with my parents over half term which is hopefully nice. I like to see them and catch up with friends if possible too. At the moment I'm seeing my gp every two weeks and counselling every week (except in half term)
Glad you've unpacked hannah - totally counts even if it's strewn all over your room! what does a stretch class entail?
Leigh I agree if you try to explain as clearly as you can what you are finding difficult and if possible what would help even if you don't know exactly what they can offer. So say you found it hard to concentrate in a particular lecture and in an ideal world you would move the lecture to an alternative time or something you could explain that but add the disclaimer that you know that's not possible but see what they can suggest instead?
"this is the room where you don't have to be brave"
That sounds good Katie. I hope that you have a nice time seeing your parents and catching up with friends :)
How are you all today?
