I second that.I could not agree more!! It's not worth putting your health and life in danger for the HSC. Life is precious and, in the long run, an extra year won't really make a difference

If you truly do suffer from depression, the best thing you can do is see a psych, if the first one you see is a piece of shit, go to another. PLEASE don't judge the helpfulness of psychologists by how helpful you found your school councilor (which, sadly, often isn't very helpful at all), it can really make a difference, particularly during the HSC.
sorry didnt mean depressed...cuz i get depressed and so does many people...i meant over the HSC...my mistakeHeaps of people get depressed. It's pretty damn common. 1 in 4 Australians will experience depression at some point during their lives.
It's a sad statistic, but I think it might help people to feel like they are not alone.
What do you guys think?
Oh don't stress! And no, you won't fail!! I'm sure you will be fine. Honestly, the time will pass so quickly and soon the HSC will be over. Just think of that huge break you get when it's all over!Yeah ok... i'm pretty stressed. Particularly today. I have spent the entire weekend trying to concentrate and write an essay for my half yearly exam tomorrow and have only managed to get out one pretty terrible paragraph. I have serious issues with concentration. haha
I think i'm just going to have to embrace failure! :z
I'm really glad you were able to get help
Coming on here and letting everyone know that you were able to do it and get through it all, is probably sending a really hopeful message. So thanks so much.

Thanks Lozza888,Oh don't stress! And no, you won't fail!! I'm sure you will be fine. Honestly, the time will pass so quickly and soon the HSC will be over. Just think of that huge break you get when it's all over!
I'm trying to write an essay today for psychology..but have also only written one paragraph.. quite ironic really because it's on procrastination lol!!
But yes, don't stress. Just try not to focus too far into the future because that can be too overwhelming. Good luck with the essay and the half yearlies.
And thanks, I think you're also sending a really positive message. Great thread! I think it's really great that people are able to talk about depression and other mental health issues now, without it attracting the stigma of being 'crazy'. I'm sure it's comforting for people to know that they aren't alone in their struggle, despite it often feeling like that.
Hahah thanks Best of luck! Hope you have a brilliant life too!Thanks Lozza888,
Good luck with your essay too
That's so cool you're doing psychology! Well done.
Yeah, it's great that society is finally opening up and accepting these things. Although, there's still a long way to go.
Thanks again, and have a brilliant life! haha

I have heard of that actually! I'm glad it's working for you. Go your motivation.. running every morning! Jeez!I try to go for a run every morning and I eat tuna or fish up to 5 times a week, coz it has zinc and magnesium. Which is good for moderating testosterone and modd swings and stuff . It worksreally well.
I don't have any friend. I dont' feel like I can trust anyone, even the teachers. I'm so lonely, but I think I can survive though...
are u being serious or saecatic cos it sure sounds like the laterThat's good to know that you have found something that helps.
Well done
Notrly, anyone that you get along with and can easily spend lots of time with.yea u gotta find people that are similar to u - people u can relate to. they are the best type of friends.
