In an excellent demonstration of my procrastination skills, I've moved the blog over to wordpress.com. I've been meaning to do it for ages because blogger is just too clunky, but I finally got around to it when it came to a choice between that and revising for Research Methods.
New blog address is h... Comment - Like

Exam anxiety is really started to get to me. I'm spending large parts of the time in which I should be revising trying to get myself calm enough to revise. Man, I really hate this time of year.
The most annoying thing about my stress levels is that when I get stressed, it completely exhausts me. Anx... Comment - Like

I agreed to go into work this morning to cover someone's morning off. I had to phone a patient - pretty standard. A girl answered the phone - I'd put her at about 6/7 years old. Just in the "I know how to use a phone" stage.
Me: Hello, please could I speak to Mrs Patient please?
Child: No.
Me: Erm..... Comment - Like

I'm currently stuck underneath the never-ending pile of boredom and stress that is revision. So, as a procrastination exercise, I thought - why not see whether you lot could do better at these exams than I will?
Feel free to try your hand at the following multiple choice quiz which has questions fro... Comment - Like

I haven't self harmed since January.
The cold hard reality of the few pretty horrendous A&E episodes since I went to university set in when I realised that the scars that now cover my thighs will never go away. Sure, they'll fade from the angry reds and purples they are now, but they're so big that ... Comment - Like

I'm at home, a week into a 4 week Easter break. I have frequently been accused by mental health professionals of "splitting" - dividing therapists, doctors etc., into "good" and "bad" roles, sometimes subtly trying to use one against another. I think I have been doing much the same with my environme... Comment - Like

Perfect example this morning of someone with the right idea getting it so very wrong. My lecture was on false and repressed memories, and so the lecturer opened by saying he was going to be talking about sexual abuse and other traumatic event-related memories, so if anyone wanted to skip the lecture...

Apologies for the sporadic blogging (and the entry that appeared and then disappeared on Wednesday because I was embarrassed by it!).
Things are getting along ok in my corner. Not brilliant, but the extra 60mg of duloxetine does seem to have got me out of the constant darkness that I was in a month ... Comment - Like

I got back to university yesterday to find yet another plumbing fail. Due to a "plumbing emergency" the water has been off in my accomodation (home to about 500 students) for 36 hours and shows no sign of returning. They've finally started actually giving us information about the problem, and are ap... Comment - Like

For anyone's who's interested in mental kinds of things, there's a special open access issue of the journal Personality & Mental Health about the new(ish) NICE guidelines for antisocial and borderline personality disorders. Apparently the future is "bright" for BPD patients in England and Wales! We ... Comment - Like

I am finally home! It turns out that lots of things have been, um, neglected to have been mentioned to me in my absence. Colonoscopies and court dates, you know, little things. I know that they were just trying to keep me out of the stress loop seeing as I stress a lot more than most people but it f... Comment - Like

For the last few days I've been stressed, depressed and hormonal, and I'm reaching the end of my tether. It's the 5th week of term, and I finally get a break next week for reading week, but even Friday seems such a long way off. I'm sick of this, I'm sick of being here, and I want to go home where t...

I went into my session with my CPN yesterday armed with a detailed timeline of events, from my perspective, linked to my (still non-existent) psychotherapy referral. From May last year, when original contact was made by my CAMHS team with the service, to September when I was promised the psychiatris... Comment - Like

I just had such an annoying lab class - sat between a French girl and a Canadian who proceeded to talk over me in very fast French for the entire class. It's just rude! And it makes me feel very stupid, seeing as the extent of my French is being able to talk about bees (GCSE French is comprehensive ... Comment - Like

I haven't been coping well with being back at uni, and on Thursday night it all went a bit wrong. I called the crisis line, and they weren't unhelpful, but it wasn't enough to calm me down. I ended up in A&E again, for 12 hours of hell.
The doctor put me in a room on my own in a corner away from eve... Comment - Like

Working as a GP in a busy university health centre must be a challenge. The GPs at my university health centre rotate, so they're only there once a week, and probably don't see the same patient twice very often. Students are probably a whole lot of the same - lots of self harming teenage girls, for ... Comment - Like
