I feel like absolute ****
Been struggling with bad thoughts, I really want to hurt myself but I can't deal with the consequences. I also fear that if I start I won't stop.
Worst part? I'm popping valium like there's no tomorrow & it's doing NOTHING. Not even making me sleepy.0 -

I know I'm late replying to this, sorryDon't they inform your next of kin if you go to A&E with psych problems?
No they don't notify your next of kin. They do ask if they can talk to someone close to you to get their opinion on how you've been, for me they asked a good friend of mine. You can say no to that though I think 'cause they need your permission.
I actually love christmas! The whole buzz around it tends to give me energy/ I did have a really horrible low spell last year just after so hopefully it won't be like that this year.
Love to all of yous

I'm gonna go back to counselling again in the new year. Overall I'm doing better than I was this time last year but I'm worried about what'll happen next year. when I finish my MSc I have to get a job.....and that prospect terrifies me. Not only have I yet to figure out any job I actually want to do, I'm also struggling to think of ways to sell myself to employers. There's nothing I'm particularly good at, nothing that makes me stand out....I relied solely on academic achievement up 'til Leaving Cert but depression coupled with a complete loss of motivation left me with a 2.2 in my undergrad, which is always gonna bother me 'cause I could have done so much better if my mental health allowed me. I'm not a lazy or unintelligent person, just a hopelessly dysfunctional one.
My biggest problem, though, is that I cannot deal with rejection in any shape or form; I'm too scared to even contemplate applying for jobs 'cause every time I get a "please fúck off" letter I know I'm gonna take it really personally and feel like a complete failure. And everytime I see a job that requires "minimum 2.1" I feel unbelievably shít about myself; in some parallel universe I have a high 2.1 or 1st class degree 'cause everyone assumed that's what I was gonna come out with, but alas I'm stuck in this one. The whole rejection thing has also prevented me from trying to go back into the dating world again; I'd love to meet someone but I don't deal with break-ups well.
I'm hoping counselling can help me with these things. I've made too much progress this year to just give up now. Still seems like proper recovery is so far away though..... 0 -

I need advice,
For awhile now, i've thought i may be suffering from depression. I know depression and clinical depression are two different disorders, but i did an online test which showed mine to be moderate\severe. I dont talk to anyone about how i'm feeling or like the idea either. What should I do?
You need to talk to someone about it. End of.
Good luck

Think of the future and try not to place any emphasis on the past. That's all behind you now and unchangeable. The future isn't and you can work on moving up in life. To be honest employers will often look at your most recent qualification and be swayed by the Masters you're doing now.
Don't get caught up with job rejection. It's something everyone goes through. Think of it like that. You can't even predict that it even will happen so definitely try to avoid that mindset. Good luck with the counselling. I'd actually recommend CBT as a way of changing these negative mindsets. Perhaps the counselling can do this. I mainly had CBT but a small bit of counselling a long time ago.I need advice,

Don't read too much into internet tests on medical issues cos they can't compare to a real life medical professional. You can also get in to the danger online of misdiagnosing yourself. Place your trust in a doctor. I'd recommend taking that step first.0 -
