I hope you settle soon, and your thoughts come easier. Although I do not have the same diagnosis, I can understand disordered thoughts (although in my case, normally because there are another six of so pushing that one out of the way at that time...and vying for attention)

Thanks. I'll e-mail my tutor because he's generally a great person. I'm going to have a "needs assessment" next week at the Disability Resource Centre and I am going to have a mentor visit me every day for 15 minutes to help me out. I've also got a Disabled Student's Allowance and they might give me a free PDA to help with organisation and remembering things.

	PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student. I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out. I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included. Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
