I am very good at procrastinating 😂 @MB95 im just studying, ive already finished the 2 quizzes, I just have to write out a few glossary terms but theres only like 5 and ill do that in between posts so no issues at all. Yes definently can relate. when we hide it for so long it becomes our new normal. even without trying to hide it we still manage to do so. Unfortunatley because I have become so good at hiding it my supports struggle to get the full picture when I say im really struggling because I still smile and can still laugh even when im at my lowest, ive always been that way and was one of the ways I coped (laughed so it didn't seem like I was depressed) no, your post makes sense, its tricky when we say we don't have supports etc but then we get 'spotted' with other people. I guess something to keep in mind is there is a difference between uni study mates and someone you really trust to talk to about whats happening. My family and I when we go out we seem very close but in reality my mum and I have a strained relationship and with her along with the rest of my family I feel I cant talk to them. I think it comes down to who we trust and therefore who we expose our true selves too. hope that makes sense.. To me it sounds like a panic attack which can be helped in various ways. I can share some techniques and your psych seems like she can also help you as well. I know you mentioned you don't know whats causing your anxiety atm but im wondering if its the thoughts and feelings that your 'lying about your mental health' This is what it comes across as being a possibility to me but what are your thoughts? Could I ask if you have a diagnoses for your mental health? just so I can get a better picture of what you may be dealing with when it comes to the ups and downs? ... View more

thanks @DruidChild but I tried speaking to her and my nurse but apparently I still don't need a scan. we are at 5 friggin weeks now and its affecting me quite a lot esp in my energy levels (as most pain does I suppose) I have an ultrasound though for one of my other ailments- at least she listened to me about that not that she can provide any answers to my questions about it. wow you sound buys! I hate moving houses, well the actual moving part of it anyway! ... View more

hey @MB95 im around for a little while. kinda procrastinating stuff 😏 I can relate to you with feeling like your lying because of being good at hiding it. I went for ages without telling anyone about my mental health and even when I did a lot of has been forgotten because im a master at hiding how I really am even without meaning to. Sounds like you might have had a panic attack when you went to see your psychologist today, sometimes there isn't a trigger, our brains just decide to be anxious. what makes you think your not getting anywhere? can you give abit more of an example? ...

I cant use the phone much either @Tiny_leaf sometimes I can answer it if I know its important (like a specialist) but I would rather text or email and will do so unless absolutely necessary. it makes contacting support services such as an online counsellor tricky but the khl counsellor I had was understanding and was perfectly ok with chatting on webchat. ...
