I got absolutely wrecked last night (predictable) and sobbed my way into new year. All I could think about was how I should have been spending new year- as a mummy with my little girl. I miss her so much, my aches ache because I just want to hold her. I know that I should think about the good times, but the final image of her fighting for her life, and losing, wired up to machines, doctors...

My friend wants to OD and i'm really worried about her. I am persuading her to not do it even told her to make promise to each other that if she don't do it i don't cut the whole day. I don't really know what to tell her to change her mine i feel like crying:crying: because she's the only one that i talk to from a group that i use. I worried alot. :/ I'm stupid because i don't know what to...

Has anyone got any experience of seeing a therapist privately for depression/anything else etc? I had depression before 1-2 odd years ago, was seen under the CMHT, it appears to have resurfaced/something similar, so tried to go to my uni for counselling and instead got was given an appt with the mental health adviser which wasn't useful at all, all he did was email me some CBT self help...

Hello. I have depression. It's not like I feel sad all the time, I get the most ridiculous mood swings. I guess today started out badly, I had nightmares and my parents were roaring at each other before I woke up. By the time I started on breakfast my first lesson had already begun, which is sad because I'd done the homework and everything, so I decided to try and make it for the second...

Wasn't sure if I should put this in here or sex & relationships... but thought it'd fit better here. Please move it if needed. Basically... I am desperate for a baby. And before anyone says "you're too young/unstable/on drugs" I know that. Which is why I have the implant. But having the implant doesn't stop me wanting a child, just stops me having one. I've wanted a baby for as long as I...

I am not to sure what to write, so I will just kinda write whats comes into my head about I feel. The s/h is getting worse, and I just don't feel like myself anymore. I can't open up to anybody, the Samaritans help and posting on here, but I just can't be honest with anybody about how I am feeling. I am lying to everybody around me and myself. I am pretty sure that isn't normal. I want to...

Hello! So this is my first post on the discussion boards. I am going to try and post more and also try help others through experiences of my own if possible. I want to start of by talking about Eating disorders, I was diagnosed with Bulimia/Binge eating disorder last year. I've had symptoms of this way before though and was on waiting lists on and off due to being referred for second opinions...

I have a hearing test scheduled for this Friday. However, I'm just getting over a cold. I had it last week and I seem to be over it now,but my nose is still kinda stuffed. Do you think I should call and postpone it? Could my stuffed nose throw off the results?

So had a relapse :( I almost managed 2 weeks without self harming and then I screwed it up :/ and I know in ways I shouldn't be mad at myself because it was a big goal to stop completely... but then I am mad at myself for it cos I should have ignored the urges :/ and it means I'm back to square one and have basically got no where... the days that I did manage are pointless now because I didn't...

Today with my mum we almost had a fight than it turned out talking. My mom told me about how I don't help with chores in the house and that she knows that something is wrong with me and that I'm in a circle and want to be alone but she doesn't know why. I wanted to tell them but I couldn't and kept saying that nothing is wrong with me. I was going to start crying but I stopped myself because if...

Hey :wave: So I opened up to Becki today, rather a lot, to where I told her to look away so she didn't see my emotion :O She asked if I ever thought about medication, and that she'll talk to the team and the doctors at CAMHS to see if they'd recommend medication or not. Anyone experienced it? I'm guessing it could be to stop the silly thoughts in my head... She also mentioned weekly...

I dunno really where to begin but the start is always good so I'll try to get down everything in a good order so that it makes sense :/ I've had depression for a long time, at least 4-5 years, never actually been diagnosed but I have spoken to friends who also have depression and HAVE been diagnosed and they've pretty much told me that what I described to them is what they also feel like when...

I'll keep this short: I've been coping on my own without any proper emotional support for three years now, I've had to learn to be really self-sufficient, and this has led to me feeling really depressed and despairing, and like I can't cope I have severe body image issues and it's likely I have Body Dysmorphic Disorder. I'm obsessed with mirrors and the way my body looks I was bullied...

Hi, I'm NeverEndingFall; I have made a few posts over the years as i have dealt with depression, the urge to self harm and an anxiety disorder that kept me prisoner of my own home for 7 months. I struggles a lot with self esteem, i thought i was in loveable and undeserving. I was scared of the out side world, i was scared that no one would like me because of the mistakes i have made in life...

For a few years now ive struggled with hair pulling and managed to suppress it for a while but since ive started uni its just become uncontrollable to the point where i dont have much eyebrow left and its pretty noticeable. I know its caused by boredom and stress and more often than not these days im either one or the other so i really need some help on how to stop. When i was about 15/16 i...

Last night I had a nightmare, which went something like this; I had moved house to the area where we are moving to later this year. It's close to my Sister's. In my dream, there was a shortcut from "my" house to my Sister's. I was riding a push bike and decided to try and find my way through the short cut. As soon as I entered into the road, I had a very nervous feeling that something was...

I have had trust issues with everyone for ages now... one moment I could trust someone and feel able to confide in them about anything and one argument or one thought in my head which'll grow and grow, and that can completely go, then taking ages to begin to trust them again... So how do u stop yourself from believing people are against you and keep your trust in them?

I've been suffering from Arthritis for 2 years and tried about 30 different things to get rid of it. At first I did the standard Western medicine thing which was to take Antibiotics from the NHS at approx. £7 a month. Which helped for a while but then stopped working.. After that I spent the next two years researching and trying out many different things not to just get rid of the pain but...
