Hey, by the way, I'd be encouraging you to get sleep, rather than to get less sleep. It's really good and should help you if you are getting a decent amount of sleep. So keep it up :)

hmmm sometimes I don't sleep at all. It's fucked, and i'm certainly not recommending you try it.

No, no.... I don't think you're excessively lazy. I think you'll find that if you are depressed, or anxious, then it is totally symptomatic not to be able to motivate yourself or concentrate. That's part of the illness. So if you think that it's affecting you in that way, it would probably...

Goshhh... as in just then? Well, if you are feeling unsafe or suicidal, call kids help line - 1800 55 1800. but you can talk to us too xo

Glad to hear that Jasmine. How are you feeling now? xx

Thanks slipknot. That was an awesome post. Coping strategies, personal insight, myth busting... the lot. haha. Sounds like some sort of burger when I put it like that... REALLY good coping strategies mentioned too. Note to everyone who reads this post: read slipknot's post. ;)...

hmmm... unfortunately, you're probably right.

yeah I really need to know too... I've already booked my schoolies for the 19th of November. They will be over by then, right? RIGHT? Nah, i'm pretty sure they are. Otherwise I never would have booked ;)

You are given a mark out of 100 for both your internal exams and assessments and for your HSC exams. Both of these marks are then divided into 2, and then they add them together - that's your UAI. Hope that helped. And you're teachers are right. :)

Thanks. I think you'd be good at it. You seem to have a good understanding of people. Good luck with it all :) xo

I second that. You're a very strong person to be able to say what you just said. I really admire that.

OH SNAP! Well done. You just totally owned him. But, what's more important is how your coping with what he said? I can imagine it would be pretty damn difficult to have to listen to someone minimise your problems. I think most people do enough of that on their own, without the help of...

That doesn't make you crazy at all. You're right, it's absolutely NOT your fault. I can't even imagine what that must have been like... fuck. I can totally understand why those memories would haunt you, in fact, i'd probably be confused if they didn't. Don't listen to the people being rude on...

You're right school staff can be so helpful. Flashbacks sure aren't fun, that much is certain. It can be even worse when you start to panic about having a panic attack... certainly doesn't help. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us, by the way. Cheers, Ash

You expressed that so well that I don't even know what to say. But i'm really glad you're feeling better.

We're not all REALLY serious. I think we are just talking about something serious.

Awesome. Good job for getting the support. What kind of strategies do you implement in order to cope with it? :)

That was well said. And the counting/breathing coping strategy. I'll be using that one for sure. You're right. There's not point being hard on yourself and setting your expectations really high... that's not going to get you anywhere. There are other ways to do almost everything. It's really...

Errr.... sorry, but that's not how depression works. You don't get it because you're mentally inadequate, you get it either as a response to a stressful situation, or through your genetics. Or a combination of both. Even though it affects how you feel, it's a physical thing. It's all to...

hahaha cool... i'm glad I know your name now. And yes, Ya Face is an extremely mature nick name. Hmm yeah, it's pretty normal to feel scared. And to literally feel the fear rush through your body. But good news... the hardest part is getting yourself to the counsellors office, not the actual...
