Kitkat: you work at a vets?! What work do you do there? I'm in my final year of studying to be a vet (well, coming to the end of a year out).
one_step_closer: I'm so sorry you're feeling lonely, I know how that feels. I agree - is there any way you can contact your brother? Are there any friends you could go out with, or just pop round to somebody's house for a coffee even?
There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
Contacting my brother just makes me feel even more lonely because it reinforces the fact that there is a physical distance between us. I think we're meeting up next weekend so that will be good.
I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.
Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.

Ange - Yep, I've been working there since I was 14... I clean out cats i.e. give them food, water and clean their litter tray, I give them medication if they need it, put their bedding in the washing machine and then the drier... I'm like a maintenance worker really lol. I used to want to be a vet but I've changed my mind.
One_Step - I'm sorry to hear that ): could you go round to a friend's or just somewhere where you wouldn't feel so lonely?
Kitkat: that sounds like fun, actually. I love animals but being a vet is very stressful. I'm really not sure if I can manage it to be honest as stress does my mental health very few favours. I have my finals in May. Was meant to sit them last year but got very unwell and ended up in hospital for 3 months. So I'm pretty worried about having to sit them this year.
one_step_closer: arranging a meet-up is a good idea, and that's something to look forward to. Perhaps you could go round to a friend's house? Or just chat to somebody on msn? I hope the loneliness passes soon *cuddles*

Ange - That's why I stopped doing A-Levels. Well I didn't stop, I failed them. I cannot hack exams, they do my head in, and last year I got really... Not ill, but certain BPD traits were playing up majorly and everything got out of hand.
Hi everyone, hope you're doing okay. I also had issues at school with exams, mainly because I missed so much school with anxiety. They all thought I was a truant! I love learning and wish I could get back into formal education. Right now I'm just sticking to self-learning until I feel able to cope with a more rigorous course.

Aw I'm sorry to hear that ): well go back when you're ready, there's no reason to rush yourself if it'll just cause you more grief (: I really want to do A-Levels, I know I'm smart enough to become something that requires a lot of intelligence but I just can't do the work and the exams and the studying... So I'm doing a BTEC instead.
I'm thinking about doing an Open University course. They do short, flexible courses; it's just a shame they can be quite expensive!
What are you studying? :)
Oh, and I used to want to work in a vets or be a vet SO badly. I love animals, but I realised I'd get far too upset seeing them ill/in pain/having to put them to sleep, so that was out of the question ...

I'm studying a BTEC in Health and Social Care, I'm hoping to become a nurse (:
I love animals, not as much as I used to but I still love them, but I can detach myself from them. You eventually do, I've been scratched, bitten, mauled, and just attacked by some pretty nasty cats. I've had poo and vomit on my hands as well, it's really not a pretty job lol. I've watched a castration and put down a bird. This one time this dog went to toilet in the yard and instead all this blood came out its bum and most of it went on my shoes :/ but I'll still work there hehe
hey all. umm im lauren/lash/pap (i answer to all of them) i have had major depression since i was 13 and am going back on my meds because i finally saw just how unstable i am off them.

Carrina: an Open University course sounds like a lot of fun. I've briefly looked into them myself too, incase I decide to do something else after I've graduated. What are you looking to study?
How are you today Kitkat?

I'm very tired and wanting my bed too! I've had a really hectic day today and feel sick actually, but I think it's just because I'm so tired.
How are you? How's everybody else?

I was up early for work this morning, worked, had a swim, took the dog on a long walk to tire him out and am now in my pjamas and dressing gown relaxing infront of the telly with the fire on! Lovely
What have you been up to today?

Sorry I rarely come in this thread.
I think I'm in a mixed episode, maybe brought on by the semester beginning. The Geodon is supposed to help with that, but maybe it's too early to tell. Part of me is excited about things, part of me is depressed. So yeah, I guess that's mixed.
Yeah it really is.
I'm doing homework and feeling good about it, then simultaneously thinking about how it's pointless because I'm just going to die anyway.
I wish my brain would behave.
