Hey @MB95
It's great to hear from you! Sorry that it took me a while to reply as I myself struggle quite a bit with depression and sleep problems so I might not be able to log on to the forums every day.
Great to hear that you are feeling a lot better and that your psychologist has weekly check-ins with you. For me, it helps just to think about that I will be speaking to a mental health professional soon. When I am feeling very bad, I would try to collect my thoughts and formulate a coherent narrative on what happened to me, as I imagine discussing this with my psychologist during our next session. Even though we may not end up discussing it, I guess the fact of knowing that I will receive help is calming for me to some extent.
It's also great to hear that you've been keeping contact with your friends via zoom! I personally found social connections super important, though it might not be helpful in curing my depression, it is definitely helpful in just 'keeping my head above water' as it prevents things from getting worse.
Please let me know how you've been, and I'd love to hear from you!
Hey @MB95 haha I'm glad I made enough sense to be understandable! 
I agree, a lot of my teachers at school did say similar things - that you're less of an individual to teachers/lecturers at uni because there's so many students! But I also had a couple of tutors who were really supportive and wonderful, so I suppose it depends on the person themselves!
Wow! Well done! It is not even slightly pathetic - I think you should be proud of yourself! Those are really great things!! I think sometimes we build up having to do these "big" things in our heads and the little achievements get eclipsed. I'm glad it feels amazing 
it's really fantastic! Well done!!!
I am sorry to hear that you are not doing too well today. It is great to hear that you are trying to keep your head up, I hope it is working. Are you doing anything tonight that might help to make you feel a bit better?
If anyone's up and feels like a random chat I could really do with a distraction. Even if it's just about your day and how you're going or something. Idk, I LOVE talking about travel - so if anyone has a favourite place or place they'd love to visit one day I'd love to hear it. Sorry if it's lame, I just need to try get out of my head cause I really don't wanna end up where I was the other day!! If you don't like travel then feel free to share something about your favourite thing to do with me I know there's posts for this sort of thing somewhere but I'm a bit too overwhelmed to try look for them atm and don't want to bring the spirit down in them with how I am atm. Hope that's okay guys.
