I am currently:

I'm not great with advice but I would say try not to be too hard on yourself. When you catch yourself thinking - I should be able to do this or I should be doing this better - stop and be kinder to yourself. By putting these demands on yourself you will only be making things harder.

I was first diagnosed with severe depression and first started self harming during the end of my second year at university. My third year was extremely tough but I managed to finish university with a 2:1 degree. I know our situations are not the same but I hope you find a little strength from hearing my experience.

Take care of yourself and good luck with your studies.



Yet if you should forget me for a while,
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
By Christina Rossetti
