Hello all.
Thank you for your ongoing support; it means a lot to me.
I did 9 out of my 10 exams. I had to miss the mechanics exam because the voices were too intense, so the school sent me home by taxi (they wouldn't let me go home by myself on the Underground because the voices were telling me to OD).
The Home Treatment Team consultant is going to write a letter to my exam boards about my illness and meds and how it could impact on my A-levels.
My school is being really helpful with my illness, and they make allowances if need be. I may be able to have extended breaks between exams, and get an extra few % on my result. I am thankful that I go to a school who understands schizophrenia as an illness, not a monster raving psycho looney sort of thing.
I messed up my mathematics C4 exam (which is awful because maths is my best subject) and I missed the mechanics paper, but I talked to the teachers about it. I'll be taking the mechanics paper next week.
When I got home after being sent home by taxi because of the voices etc, my Mum yelled at me for about half an hour and said "there are consequences to your actions" and "you'll never survive in Cambridge if you're going to be like this".
My Mum is hard to understand often.
