It's awesome that you're aiming for Cambridge and I really hope you get in. I'm honestly not trying to put you off - you want cambridge then ****ing go for it mate because it truly is an amazing uni, but perhaps your health should come first? Give it some thought at least. Maybe take a break and try to get your head in order then throw everything you have at cambridge and a level exams? Because you can defer entry etc in order to have some time out. Like I said please don't take this the wrong way, I'm just trying to give some advice before you make the same mistake I did. :)

And btw I hate the medication too, it makes me sleepy and out of it, it doesn't help, if anything it makes me worse.

If I can get this **** over with by the Easter holidays that will be good, because Easter holidays are a) holidays (I usually get stressed out during holidays because I don't have contact with the usual extensive support I have at school) and b) a revision period for my mocks and A-levels.

I will try.

I'm going to school tomorrow and I think the school psychologist is coming on Tuesday. I'm going to yell my opinions at her if I have to, just to get someone to take action for once, not just saying "it will all be alright in the end" as they always do.
