How are you feeling today?

[Zaf]

Really tired now and cold and frozen groceries put away, ktchen looks like a bombs hit it but it can wait till tomorrow after work (and only the tiniest hint guilt)

Night all, sleep well xx

[CharleysAngel']

I think I am going to find somewhere else to sleep tonight (well I won't sleep but hey) last night in the 3 hours that I was asleep I went sleepwalking. I emptied the contents of the wardrobe draws onto the floor and left it open. When I was going back to bed I must have walked straight into the open draw and I have grazed and cut all my ankle I tend to sleep walk a lot, its often related to what I dream about too. I once dreamt about a cave and woke up under the bed, I had a dream I was a spider and woke up in the bath. It would prbably be funny if I wasn't feeling so crap all the time x

Dreams usually have a significant meaning underneath it all.

To me that seems to suggest that you are stuck in a place you cant get out of. Not only that, baths are dangerous places for spiders to get stuck arent they? It may be your mind telling you to get some help to escape how you are feeling. Im no expert on this subject though - just my opinion.

Back on subject - Try contacting MIND anyway and ask them for advice. They may just be able to arm you with information on what you are entitled to and this may help you to get things moving. Ive heard good things about them so its got to be worth a try.

Its shocked me in the last two years how bad the NHS seems to be at looking after mental health conditions. They seem very slow on the uptake, not only to me but to friend too. Keep on at them x

[Munchroom]

I know they let people have them cause my friend works at the pharmacy next door!!

Am I a risk? Lol

I might try for private counselling. I just haven't got any money at all, I don't work or anything as I am still at school. My doctor did say that we will get it sorted and my head of year/house said that the school will try and support me in every that they can.

doublep, they wouldn't let me have sleeping tablets either

On a lot of anti-depressant and sleeping tablet patient information leaflets there is a note under the side effects that states that 'thoughts or suicide or self harm may increase - especially in those aged 25 or under'

I have no idea how there can be an age limit on something like that or even of thats the cause - but perhaps the policy your doctor was talking about was that they don't prescribe sleeping medication for people under 25 for that reason? Still seems pretty off though.... 

[doublep]

Yeah, I suppose I can see their point of view.

Oh well, I hope things improve.

Lack of sleep makes me worse mentally, so I do hope

[Glen53]

Apparently the testing for these drugs were done on folk over 25 years of age. Its most likely to cover themselves as there is no data on how it effects people under 25.

Blame the USA and the sueing culture thats coming over here now.

I feel I can relate to this quite well, I have been sleep walking since I was very Little, I have woken up in such strange places that you wouldn't believe it and its really inbarrising when you wake up the next morning and people tell you what you have done. have you ever been to see a sleep specialist or been to a sleep clinic?

Have you tried any of the sleep medications, if so have any of them worked because I would be really interested to know if you have.

running on empty whilst trying to write my uni thesis and getting knowhere with it, its also my birthday today so I am feeling pretty crummy as I'm back at uni and my flatmates haven't really acknowledged the fact eventhough they all know its my birthday today. going home at the weekend so will be nice to celebrate when I get back I suppose I just wish I didn't feel so lonely and crap today.
