Thanks all.

I am trying to be logical today but I keep worrying that my tutor and lecturer etc are gossiping about how dumb I am behind my back.

It seems these days that at uni, your intelligence is measured by your marks. I am intelligent, but not uner pressure. Under pressure I go mad.

Last night I was ready to do something horrendous to mysef (won't describe it here as it might be triggering to some) but my olanzapine kicked in and I managed to sleep in the end.

I will try to not base myself too much on my marks. I am just scared of the gossiping that is going on.

One of my support workers will be coming to my house today, I'll ask him if he can be present while I take the quiz so that I don't hurt myself afterwards.

If I break down just at a revision quiz, I am really wondering if I will cope with the end of term test, or even the exam.

I have difficulties with biochemistry, I keep forgetting bits and having to remind myself.

I am hoping that my tutor and lecturer won't see my mark so that they won't gossip. But I think that my tutor will be checking it as he is making sure I do all the quizzes and tests this year.

I was up until 23:30 last night reading my notes. Now I get up early and I am going to attempt to read more.

I just worry that the more I study, the higher the mark I should get, and that if I do really badly, it means that I'm too stupid to respond to studying.

Really, the only reason I haven't committed suicide yet is because I am clever. When there is evidence to the contrary, I start considering suicide.

But really, will people think I'm clever still if I get 30% in the quiz?

I can understand you saying self-punishment is bad, but the voices tell me I deserve all of it.

I will try to revise calmly today and I will ask my support worker to supervise me to keep me safe.



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.
